Jay Chou - November’s Chopin
JAY CHOU - NOVEMBER’S CHOPIN
Release : January 18, 2006
Taiwanese
mega star Jay Chou finally released his highly anticipated album
November’s Chopin on 1st November! Jay Chou has always looked up to
Frederic Chopin, known as "The Poet of the Piano", as his idol since he
started learning classical music at a very young age. Now it’s Jay
Chou’s turn to demonstrate his poetic music in November’s Chopin! The
first track "Nocturne" expresses the intense emotions for a late lover
with reference made to Chopin’s famous Nocturne. Other tracks also
carry a strong classic mood, which even extends to the cover and the
pictures inside, all taken in Venice. The songs "Drifting" and "All The
Way North" which he tailored for the blockbuster Initial D now appear
in November’s Chopin as bonus tracks, making the album a musical
delight with as many as 12 enchanting songs!
Highlights of the disc:
#
Nocturne - A perfect blending of ballad and rap and a flawless mixing
of guitar and piano to convey the most intense feeling for a late lover.
# Blue Hurricane - An up-tempo song for a TV commercial, the "Blue Hurricane " is now sweeping across Asia!
#
Snow-like Hair - A recommendation by Jay Chou himself in which he shows
off three different ways of singing in just one single track.
# Songs of Paparazzi from All Fronts - Jay Chou voices out his sarcastic comments on paparazzi with lyrics penned by himself.
# Plus more marvelous tracks, including "Drifting" and "All the Way North" from Initial D!

13 MVs, all are awesome and fantastic. the scenes are taken artistically, some in beautiful and breathtaking places. The one I love most is ROMANTIC CELL
PHONE (no. 8).
- Jay Chou is multi-talented artist. He sings, he
dances, he plays piano, he composes, he arranges the music, he directs
the MV, he does lots of things really well. One word for Jay, SUPERB !
- Highly recommended ! Satisfaction guaranteed.
