Today Jay Chou has released a new album again after six years. As the former king of Chinese music, the effect is naturally sensational. After the release of the MV for the prelude song of the new album, it instantly hit all the major social media.
Although various hot searches dominate the list and it seems to be very powerful, it seems that most of them are just joining in the fun, and the number of people who actually participate in the discussion of the new song is a bit less than expected. Although
MV immediately grabbed the headlines on major social media after its release, its popularity dropped rapidly in the following hours.
is an album that has been in preparation for six years, so the quality of the preview songs is certainly there, and the lyrics are also very consistent with Jay Chou's once provocative style.
"The madness of the times, the king of music, everything surrenders to my movement."
's slightly catchy lyrics and familiar melody bring many people back to the era that once belonged to King Zhou Tian. Jay Chou's new album is full of praise, but there seems to be a lot of doubters, and the overall response is still not as good as expected.
Some fans blame it on the change of public opinion, listening to too many so-called Internet celebrity songs, but not being interested in truly excellent Chinese songs.
In fact, the once classic Chinese song is still a classic now. It is definitely wrong to blame all the reasons on the change of public taste.
First of all, the album's promotion period has been too long. Even a few months ago, Jay Chou spread the news of the new album through various channels. Not only did it keep people's appetite for too long, he even missed the album's release date many times. This actually gives people a feeling that their talents are exhausted.
Secondly, the album title "The Greatest Work" has been criticized by many people.
Although Jay Chou's explanation is that many well-known people participated in the production of the album, in his opinion this is his greatest work.
But the word "great" in Chinese is quite special, unlike in the West, which means more powerful.
Furthermore, the new album has been awaited for six years, but the music style is not the Chinese style that the public has been waiting for for a long time, and the lyrics also make people feel a bit self-proclaimed.
But this is just a preview song. I hope Jay Chou’s remaining songs can live up to his reputation as the King of Heaven and truly become the greatest works!
