Sophea
Chamroeun, lead singer of Krom, outside Phnom Penh’s iconic White
Building during the filming of the video for the single Don’t Go Away.
The album Krom: Songs from the Noir was released last week on CD
Baby, iTunes and Amazon, and will be played at select venues in Phnom
Penh this week.
Advance copies have drawn rave reviews from Bangkok to Hollywood.
“These
are gut-twisting songs connected to something profound, night-time
whispers, raw and real,” director Roland Joffé told 7Days in an email
from South Africa where he filming his latest movie.
“Under their
elegant sound is something that comes from deep inside [Chris] Minko
and Sophea Chamroeun and that emotional charge will reach deep inside
you. Whether they’re singing in English or Khmer, the effect is the
same: they draw you in and make you want to listen closer.”
Best-selling Author Christopher G Moore describes Sophea’s voice as “clean, liquid and clear”.
In
a review of Krom: Songs from the Noir, he told 7Days: “These are folk
tales as black as night. Sophea Chamroeun’s voice rings clean, liquid
and clear like a troubadour, and [Chris] Minko’s voice brings a
haunting, elegant and soulful depth. Their interpretation of the lyrics
transport you straight into the heartland of noir. She’s singing from
the noir hymnbook: there is no way out. No escape. No hero who rides to
the rescue.”
Krom will perform live in September at the launch
of Phnom Penh Noir, a collection of short stories selected by
Christopher G Moore.
A collectors’ edition of the CD will be released in September internationally as well.

រឿងពិតប្រឌិតផ្សំ !!!
និមល សោភា ជានាមពុំងា មាសស្ងួនព្រលឹង
មុនបងបែកអូន ជាគូដណ្ដឹង បងខំសម្លឹង គន់អស់កាយស្រី។
អូននាងបែរខ្នង គេចមុខពីបង មិនព្រមស្រដី រួចរត់ចុះស្រែ
បង់ក្រមាថ្មី ដែលពៅពិសី ត្បាញដោយដៃឯង។
អូនថ្ពក់ក្រមា លើមែកព្រឹក្សា រួចយំក្ដែងៗ រត់លើភ្លឺស្រែ
ឱយបងកណ្ដែង កណ្ដោចក្រៃលែង មុខពុកម៉ែស្រី។
បងស្រាវក្រមា មកផ្ទាប់ឱរា ជង្គង់លុតដី មើលស្នាមជើងអូន
ដែលសល់ថ្មីៗ បងមិនតាមស្រី ខ្លាចថ្លៃរត់ឆ្ងាយ។
................
................
រហូតសព្វថ្ងៃ បងនឹកមមៃ ទ្រូងគ្មានរសាយ
សល់តែក្រមា តំណាងឆោមឆាយ តែកែវចរណៃ
ថ្លៃមិនត្រឡប់។
បងគ្មានដំណឹង មិនយល់អូនខឹង ស្រឡាញ់ឬស្អប់
ឬអូនស្លាប់កាយ ឬមានគូគាប់ បងសែនអភ័ព្វ រស់ជាពោះម៉ាយ។
សង្ស័យសោភា រត់ជួបពួកមារ គេជំរត់ឆ្ងាយ បង្ខំមាសស្ងួន
ទាំងចិត្តទាំងកាយ រួចលក់ចរណៃ ឱយពួកមានប្រាក់។
កម្មករចល័ត
