Jay Chou’s new 2008 album "Magic Block" will be released simultaneously across Asia on October 9. The official pre-order will start on September 24. Fans can also get a gift carefully prepared by Jay Chou – the Rubik’s Cube, of course, this square also has a name – "Magic Block".
The title song "Daoxiang" of the new album will also premiere globally on September 22. It is understood that he arranged the lyrics and songs of this song to convey the idea of contentment in life through the theme of childhood. Although he is good at music creation, Jay Chou’s lyric skills are not bad at all. After "Snail" and "Listen to Mom’s Words", Jay Chou once again used simple words to create a highly imaginative Zen realm. He also dared to try the part of the song, mixing the two kinds of music with hip-hop and folk songs. The arrangement also played ingenuity, adding crickets in the prelude.
Jay Chou sings in the first paragraph of the song, "If you have too many complaints about this world, you will not dare to move forward if you fall. Why do people have to be so fragile and depraved…" He reminds everyone not to replace gratitude with complaining, but to convey the concept of "contentment."
In this song, Jay Chou uses his childhood life experience as a starting point. He said that when he was a child, he envied the children who lived in the countryside. At that time, mango trees were planted in front of his house, and when he was practicing the piano at home, he could see the neighbor next door through the window climbing over the wall and stealing mangoes. It was an interesting experience; when he was a child, he was very naughty. He also caught a big-bellied fish in a big ditch, accidentally fell into the ditch, and was teased by his mother because his head was too big and heavy. These memories became Jay Chou’s creative inspiration.
In addition to being busy with the new album, Jay Chou did not forget to take the time to continue to study magic, and recently tried his skills at the warhead wedding. For him, "music and magic are both mysterious languages". In order to make magic skills more advanced, Jay Chou also drove to Sanzhong to buy props with his assistant. In his spare time, he searched the Internet for data, and also humbly asked for advice when he met a master magician. Bug
