In the lively atmosphere on the evening of December 21, 2023, Jay Chou, who is known as a leader-level figure in the Chinese music scene, finally released a brand new song!
As we all know, since Jay Chou tied the knot with the beautiful Kunling, the superstar, who has achieved glory in the music industry for more than 20 years, seems to have become low-key as if he had retired, with fewer and fewer new songs, and even dynamic updates on social platforms have become sparse and commonplace.
When all kinds of rough Internet celebrities we are familiar with are flooding the online world, "powerful singers" like Jay Chou are becoming more and more remembered and concerned by everyone. Therefore, regarding Jay Chou's new song, the majority of fans have been watching it with pride and expectation.
Although new works such as the touching "Red Face Like Frost" have been released before, fans will still feel that the frequency of this song release is a bit low.
In order to respond to the expectations of the majority of fans, when Christmas came this year, Jay Chou presented this warm song "Christmas Star", promising that it would be a "surprise gift package" specially prepared for fans.
To be honest, as long as you are serious about the MV of this song, you can see how much effort Jay Chou has put into it.
The music video was filmed in a romantic Europe, and everything from colorful festive decorations to warm fireplaces and wooden huts stacked with firewood all combine to create a strong and festive atmosphere.
Judging from the recording engineer Gary who participated in this creation, as well as the talented team of musicians, Jay Chou obviously has great confidence in his new song.
In the MV, several of them dressed in festive costumes and joined hands to present a feast for the majority of fans.
The style of the song is a slightly sad lyrical adagio, while the lyrics depict "My love for you is like a bright star on a Christmas tree, decorated to the end to show my true heart." You can't wait, all you have left is the figure of leaving, and the enthusiasm snuggled in your arms has cooled. Such a beautiful and touching Christmas atmosphere brings out the feelings of loneliness and loneliness in my heart.
Given the approaching Christmas, the song's infectious power really can't be ignored.
However, just as people were having a heated discussion about Jay Chou's idea, doubts also followed.
A loyal fan of Jay Chou couldn't help but say in the comment area: The chorus part of "Christmas Star" is too similar to the previously launched "Red Face Like Frost", which inevitably makes people wonder if there is "cutting corners" in it.
There are even some hardcore fans who have listened to a large number of Jay Chou's old songs, and ruthlessly listed the names of three songs in the comment area - "Reflection", "Self-directed and Self-Acted" and "Sorry". The message is clear, and they believe that the melody of "Christmas Star" also contains the shadow of these three songs. As for whether this statement is true, it seems that we will continue to wait for Jay Chou's response.
In the early years, Jay Chou said frankly in an interview with **: "Every ** is my most real feeling at that time, and I will never deliberately create songs in order to cater to a certain theme." Instead, I record my life and feelings at different stages. ”
It is this sentence that has aroused the emotion of many people: In the past, we could always feel the unique charm when we listened to Jay Chou's songs, but now we can no longer find that kind of moving that is like a world away.
Jay Chou, who was born in Taichung City in 1979, although his academic performance is not satisfactory, he is well versed in the best way and has extraordinary talent. Because of his skillful piano performance skills like his peers, he was successfully admitted to the ** class of Tamkang Middle School.
When he was 18 years old, with the full support of his mother Ye Huimei, Jay Chou bravely walked into the stage of the draft competition, which completely changed the trajectory of his life.
Only two years later, at the age of 19, Jay Chou officially launched his first ** "Jay", in which songs such as "Xingqing" and "Lovely Woman" quickly became popular and won the love of a large number of fans.
In the following years, whether it is "Nunchuck", "Love Before the A.D.", or "East Wind Breaks", etc., Jay Chou, who contains many popular hits, successfully stood on the pinnacle of the Chinese music scene. At the same time, he has been on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala of ** TV station more times, and has won many important awards in the field.
Jay Chou has created many works with a strong Chinese charm, and these excellent works undoubtedly provided great strength for improving our national cultural self-confidence in that era. So, everyone understands, the reason why Jay Chou has been praised by so many people is not only because his ** is very commercially valuable.
But it's a pity that today's Jay Chou is becoming famous and has a huge income, and his life has gradually drifted away from ordinary people, and it seems that it is difficult to write such classic songs that make people nostalgic for the good old days.
