Jay Chou - Octave Space (CD)

The golden song yellow robe  Highly recognized by all parties

Jay Chou, the musical genius who shined at the Golden Melody Awards, won multiple awards this year for the first time, which can be said to have created an unprecedented new record in the Chinese music scene. Such an impressive achievement not only once again affirms Jay Chou's extraordinary musical talent, but undoubtedly also brings a glimmer of hope to the record entertainment industry that has suffered from piracy! Receiving such an honor has made the media and fans from all walks of life even more excited to see what unexpected surprises Jay Chou will bring in his third album!

Infinite extension  Creativity is on display  "Octave Space"

In July 2002, Jay Chou once again demonstrated his amazing musical imagination. He tried to expand his imagination even further, and invisibly, he also pushed the musical standards of the Mandarin music scene to a higher level! The latest Mandarin album "Octave Space" means that Jay Chou, who was born on January 18, 1969, can not only express his own music in the space of the Western octave, but also

Like the music he created, he is always a little bit surprising. His unpredictable personality allows people to break through the established "octave frame" and enjoy the boundless world of fantasy. When everyone is listening to the melody, reading the magnificent and meticulous words of "famous creative writer" Fang Wenshan makes the audience feel like watching a "movie" of the eighth art, which makes people applaud and say it is so enjoyable! Jay Chou’s “Octave” is like the eighth art in the field of music!

The breadth of imagination is widening  Enter the space game

Traveling in the world of "Octave Space", you can enjoy the energy transmitted from all directions!

When the magnificent overture of "Orcs" unveils its mystery, Jay Chou sings with a strong rhythm, and the story of how humans degenerate into orcs due to greed begins! *Although "Peninsula Iron Box" coincides with the title of the previous photo book, the lyrics describe a book called "Peninsula Iron Box" filled with memories of lovers. It is very enjoyable to listen to. It is not difficult to discover Jay Chou's little ingenuity from the beginning to the end of the song. This song can indeed be said to be Jay Chou's increasingly mature situational work in the field of lyrical songs. *"Secret Code" is the first song that Jay Chou publicly allowed internal staff to participate in writing the lyrics at the request of his colleagues in the record company. Therefore, the creation of this song has a particularly special meaning. It is hailed as the "Secret Code" of the most popular and flexible new product in 2002. I believe that in the near future, it will become the new favorite of KTV singing! The screen suddenly jumps to the "Dragon Fist" which is full of strong Chinese flavor. Jay Chou immediately transforms into an oriental dragon, sometimes jumping across the banks of the Yellow River, sometimes climbing to the top of Mount Tai. The "palace-style drum beats" are beating vigorously, like a new rock force stirring up the Chinese language! "Go Train" is Jay Chou's first attempt at singing in Taiwanese! Fang Wenshan used unique local words and phrases, and after integrating them with the Western ambient tunes created by Jay Chou, the two produced an unexpectedly comfortable effect. In the song "Split", you can see Jay Chou's inner voice cutting through, dividing himself into two different selves. This is Jay Chou's deepest personal monologue. "Tea Brewed by Grandpa" uses a common drink like "tea" to explain the Zen meaning of grandpa's life. The song is as if the grandfather tells his grandson that when the color of the tea spreads and the pure and happy melody rises, fame and fortune will naturally be thrown into the sky in an instant. "Back to the Past" is a work written by good friend Liu Tian Jinghong. Tian Jinghong outlines the lonely feeling of mourning love in the dead of night. When you hear "The Little Blacksmith of Milan", the medium-fast notes filled with exotic flavor will quickly and smoothly lead you into an Eastern European fairy tale, and the notes are telling the story of the little blacksmith working hard just because he longs to own a guitar. The ending song, "The Last Battle", uses majestic string music to tell the story of comrades in the army. This song is also a masterpiece that Jay Chou dedicated to his good friend Hiroshi Tian, ​​and the friendship between the two brothers is beyond words. After listening to the songs with one climax after another, this song is like the best ending, giving people a sense of coherence and continuity!

MV is comparable to the movie  The album photos are bold and innovative

After the previous album "Fantasy" achieved great success, how to make the production and planning of the third album surpass "Fantasy" became an important task for the entire company, and it really gave the staff a headache! Therefore, this time, in terms of the album photos and inner page design, we boldly adopted a presentation method that combines X-rays with general photographs, "explicitly" presenting Jay Chou's naked body, allowing people to not only see Jay Chou's outer appearance, but also see through Jay Chou's inner self. As a result, the overall visual appearance of the album is richer and more interesting, completely subverting the general public's stereotype of being cautious and fearful of X-ray photos!

After having a special album photo, of course, a wonderful music video is indispensable to match it. In this "Octave" album, the first song comes with great momentum! "The Last Battle" is a lyrical song about the friendship between brothers. In this music video, which took seven days to shoot at the northern border of Thailand, Jay Chou and his good friend Liu Tianjinghong play comrades who grew up together. In a certain mission, one of them was unfortunately killed in battle, and the other angrily launched an action of revenge for the other. The strong friendship between comrades is self-evident, and such a touching plot, with the background of the magnificent string music of Beijing Asia Philharmonic, is even more sad and moving! In this MV which is like a movie story, such a grand shooting scene made Jay Chou indulge in his dream of being a soldier and fulfill his dream of joining the army!
