Đông Nhi Essentials

Vietnamese singer Đông Nhi embraces her broad pop appeal, adding a dash of sass and a playful twist to sweet, soaring ballads and club bangers. Take the cola-plugging "I Love You Like a Pepsi", where she turns a finger-snapping house beat and bright, breezy guitar into a bop so infectious you don't even realise you've been sold a soft drink. Nhi became an MTV star in the late '00s with a string of heart-rending love songs that paired her light, smoky vocals with towering orchestration. Later hits like "On Top" embrace a more Western dance pop sound, even throwing in dubstep breakdowns.
