The style of Jay Chou's new songs will give you a shock
by kelvin@multistars - 22nd April 2004Being the lead of ¡§4.30 Ultra Dazzling Concert¡¨, who does not lag behind in doing good causes, I¡¦m afraid that it¡¦s hard to use words to describe Jay¡¦s level of explosiveness in the music industry. When his performance is approaching, the reporter interviewed this popular idol.
Reporter: Can you introduce to us your work arrangements recently?
Jay: Recently I¡¦ve been preparing my new album, and then I¡¦m going to participate in some concerts. I¡¦ve done too many concerts; I will have one or two sessions at the end of the year.
Reporter: What new surprises will your new album bring?
Jay: There¡¦s a change to the style of the songs in the new album, even though I¡¦m a person who doesn¡¦t like to change. I think that you¡¦ve got to have your own principles when making music, maintain your own singing style. But this time there will be the feeling of brand new, giving a shock to the fans.
Reporter: Can it be you will give up your past R&B songs?
Jay: This time¡¦s element of R&B might be less. The album will be able to see everyone by the holidays.
Reporter: Have you decided on the name of the album yet?
Jay: Not yet, only finished writing two songs
Reporter: The fans who like you are all young people, how have you prepared to compete for those older fans?
Jay: I think that music is really a very subjective art. The lyrics, song style and singing are actually important; I will slowly make my pronunciation a bit clearer. I hope that everyone can admire my songs, they can feel my most true feelings in my work.
Reporter: Will the new album deduce that kind of old song sung at the Spring Festival this year?
Jay: Actually I think music is made for everyone to listen to, sometimes I think that this thing music is actually very subjective, if the singing was changed then it wouldn¡¦t have this taste. But you also have to grab onto the feelings differently aged fans like, that is a very difficult thing.
Reporter: There are a lot of news related to you, they say you have a terminal disease, can you tell us a bit about your health?
Jay: I¡¦m a really healthy, sometimes friends like to make jokes. I think that some of the media care too much, just take it as a joke. I think they shouldn¡¦t casually take any thing written by someone on the Internet and make it the entertainment headlines, this is a bit too exaggerated.
Reporter: I hear that you are going to play the lead in a movie, this is after last year¡¦s ¡§Hidden Track¡¨, the first movie you are really a lead in, can you talk about this movie¡¦s state of affairs?
Jay: This movie actually hasn¡¦t officially started filming, I also don¡¦t know why there is this rumour. At present I don¡¦t know the concrete circumstances of this movie. Am I going to film it, I still have to listen to my agent¡¦s view.
Reporter: Last year I saw your concert in Beijing Gongti, it was really good, will you take the creativity in the Gongti concert to this concert?
Jay: Of course there will be some that is the same, but I might add in one or two different songs.
Reporter: Will there be new songs?
Jay: Wait for the new songs in Summer when the album is released, they shouldn¡¦t be in the concert.
