Jay Chou's new song has Sun Nan's flavour?
by kelvin@multistars - 15th September 2004Recently "Asia heavenly king" Jay's new song "Run Aground" has been broadcasted on TV, a lot of fans responded after hearing it, they feel the melody is very similar to Sun Nan's "Representative Work"? Jay, who is in Beijing filming a commercial, responded: "Sun Nan sings better than me, how can it be the same?"
The fans think that the most similar part between this song "Run Aground" in Jay's album "Common Jasmin Orange" and the second plugged song "Representative Work" in Sun Nan's album "Burn" just released a few months ago, is the beginning piano part!
After receiving the response of fans, the staff at Warner compared the two songs of Sun Nan and Jay, they also feel it is alike. But, person in charge of "Alfa Music" Jay's company said: "When Sun Nan was plugging this song "Representative Work" on TV, I heard it as well, I don't think they are alike!"
This song "Run Aground", the composer is Jay, the producer is also Jay, the beginning piano part is the part the fans feel is the most alike, Director Chou said: "This piano prelude was played personally by me!" Sun Nan's "Representative Work", the composer is Zhang Jue, the piano prelude is by a Mainland China pianist.
The fans think that the melody of "Run Aground" and "Representative Work" are alike, the two record companies, one says it's alike, one says it's not. Jay said: "Everyone has a different view towards music, my music field is completely different to Sun Nan's."
The musical view is different, privately; Jay and Sun Nan have some musical exchanges. 2 weeks ago, when the Chinese Music Chart held an awards ceremony in Taipei, Sun Nan flew to Taipei to get his award, in the celebration party, Jay and Sun Nan talked about daily life, he also curiously asked Sun Nan: "Where do you want to stroll about in Taipei?" "I hear that there's a shop that sells beef noodles in Taipei, 500 yuan per bowl, very tasty, I want to go and try!" "Oh, that's Father cow beef noodle shop, this noodle shop is very near the curio shop I opened, when you finish eating beef noodles, come to my curio shop!" Director Chou strongly invited Sun Nan to look at curios.
It's a pity, Sun Nan's work schedule is full in Mainland China, after the celebration party, the next morning, he flew back to Mainland China, he didn't eat any beef noodles, and he didn't have time to visit the curio shop opened by Jay.
