Jay Chou's new album, change to singing poem?!
by kelvin@multistars - 14th July 2004
Causing expectation, Jay's new album will finally be officially released on the 3rd of August, the special thing is that this time Jay has cited the poet Xi Mu Rong's famous poem "Orange Jessamine" as the new album's name, for the plugged song "Orange Jessamine" they found Vincent Fang to write the lyrics "poem style", to give the new generation poetic, seems like Director Chou has once again spurred a trend of "singing poem".
Even though Jay is right now officially doing filming work for the movie "Initial D" in Japan, but the new album is still fixed to release on schedule, the record company have also decided from 21st of July to 1st of August, they will be holding pre-order events in all record shops and 7-11 retail sales. And after finishing filming the movie, Jay will be returning to Taiwan on the 2nd of August to start promotional work for the new album and see his fans who he hasn't been with for a long time.
The new song "Orange Jessamine" is a lyrical rock song that has an air of eastern to it, Jay's best partner Vincent Fang has written the lyrics in "poem style" for the first time, in the poem it has: "Under the rain for the whole night, my love overflows like the rain, the butterfly on the window sill is like the beautiful chapters fluttering about in the poem, shortly after I write into the end of the poem I always love you, you are the only understanding I want. That which is full of ears of the rice plant blessed this season, and your cheek is like the thoroughly ripe tomato in the field, you suddenly say to me the name of the Orange Jessamine is very beautiful, yet this moment I only wanted to kiss your gruff lips."
Jay expressed: "Using poem to write lyrics is another kind of challenge, but it is very poetic and has a rich amount of feelings." Every time he releases an "album", Jay, who makes his fans have unlimited imagination space, expressed that he is full of confidence towards this album's music, he hopes everyone can place their attention on the music and not talk about his rumours.
