Xiaonan’s circle of friends was flooded with Jay Chou’s new song .
Back to the song itself, is this "The Greatest Work" good or not? Xiao Nan personally tested it and found that the song is pleasant to listen to. It is not a saliva song . Jay Chou's characteristic rap accounts for a large proportion of the whole song. The melody of the chorus is catchy and the lyrics can also be seen to have been carefully crafted.
"The madness of generations, the king of music, everything surrenders to my music" , probably only Jay Chou dares to sing such lyrics.
Most fans think this song is very similar to Jay Chou's previous songs, more gothic style. Some fans of
commented: It looks like a mashup of " Night Chapter 7 ", " Nocturne " and " The Bell in the Reverse Direction ".
Some people questioned that Jay Chou's new song is very similar to his previous songs. Has he exhausted his talents? Some people retort that there are actually many similarities in Jay Chou's songs, but this is his unique personal music style.
Indeed, "The Greatest Work" sounds like Jay Chou at first glance, and the MV is full of ingenuity from beginning to end, with Jay Chou elements everywhere.
For example, the piano music played by Jay Chou at the beginning is the "war song" "Secret" from the movie "The Untold Secret". Who can watch this scene and not dream back to Ye Xianglun and Lu Xiaoyu!
There is also Jay Chou's favorite magic ~
The MV story design fits the title of the song "The Greatest Work". Jay Chou transforms into a time traveler and meets famous artists in the 1920s, integrating painting, literature, music, and video. The contemporary art expression form shows the unique charm of the blending of different arts.
was also surprised by the friendly appearance of pianist Lang Lang ! I can enjoy Jay Chou and Lang Lang's dreamy piano duo without spending any money!
PS: Jay Chou looks a little thinner in the MV. Did he drink a lot less milk tea in preparation for the new album?
Today is just the beginning of the carnival for Jay Chou fans, because unlike the last two times he released new songs, this time Jay Chou released not a single, but a complete album .
You must know that Jay Chou's last album was "Jay Chou's Bedside Stories" released in June 2016. Since then, in 2018 and 2020, Jay Chou has released one new song every two years on average. "Waiting for You After Class " and "Mojito" also caused a sensation on the entire Internet on the day they were released.
After 6 years, Jay Chou finally returns to the Chinese music scene with a truly new work, and the popularity is natural. This is also Jay Chou's 15th solo album in his career as a singer. After pre-sale reservations opened on July 5, the number of reservations for QQ Music alone has exceeded 6.35 million before the preview song was released. After the pilot song went online, the number of reservations rose to 6.8 million, an increase of nearly 400,000 in less than an hour.
Why does Jay Chou attract carnival across the Internet every time he releases a song? Because his music is a common youth memory for those born in the 1980s and 1990s. Regardless of whether you are a die-hard fan or not, everyone must have Jay Chou's songs in their playlist. If you don't order a few Jay Chou songs to sing along when you go to a KTV, it feels like something is missing.
From "JAY", "Eight Degrees of Space", " Qilixiang " to "Waiting for You After Class" and "Mojito", Jay Chou's songs have always accompanied and witnessed the growth of a generation.
Some people may be humming "Qili Xiang" while wearing wired headphones when they are in school, imagining how to confess to their crush; some people may like to listen to "Sunny Day" when they are falling out of love, hoping that the rainy day in their hearts will clear up soon; some people may be because " Listen to Mommy ", choose to understand and care more about your family; some people may also give themselves a long vacation to feel the fragrance of rice in the quiet countryside because of listening to " The fragrance of rice ".
Family, love, friendship, self, growth... Jay Chou's music works almost cover our daily emotional appeals. No matter what the situation is, we seem to be able to find a Jay Chou song to represent our current mood. Some people even used Jay Chou's songs in their wedding playlist. Only then did we discover that there are so many ways to express "happiness" in Jay Chou's works.
The three words "Jay Chou" have long surpassed the singer and the music itself in the minds of the "post-80s" and "post-90s" generations. They are more like a feeling and a precious memory. So whenever news of his new song comes out, everyone will rush to tell each other. When the song is released, they will put down everything they are doing and listen attentively.
It is reported that Jay Chou's complete new album will be officially released on July 15th. I wonder if will dominate the hot search list on the 15th? Please stay tuned ~
