Taiwan's prince of pop, Jay Chou, is in the middle of staging his third world tour. It is scheduled to start in Taipei next month and will eventually take him to venues all over the globe. Coinciding with this gigantic live event is the release of his latest album which features the new principal song "Cowboy On The Run". Composed by Jay and penned by Huang Jun Lang, the song drifts away from the usual mainstream sounds and carries a touch of old-time rural America. Still persisting with his own unique music style, Jay is all set to unfold his latest melodies.

This edition comes with a DVD containing two MVs.

現正忙於第三次大型世界巡迴演唱會的周杰倫,大呼《我很忙》來叫喊著周董生活狀態!從於11月台北開始唱到全世界,是次演唱會及同時發行的新專輯《我很忙》成為全球歌迷矚目的焦點!在2007年的全新大碟中,周董以富正義感、60年代美國西部的牛仔造型及印地安風格示人,再加上精美製作的「周杰倫的懸賞海報」作宣傳,給樂迷又一音樂新驚喜!

首波主打「牛仔很忙」是周董與作詞者黃俊郎共同打造的非主流復曲調及美式鄉村風格新曲風,新歌以自有畫面、後有音樂的想法創出而成,給歌迷耳目一新感受。碟內仍然延續他引領的中國風,這張充滿全新視覺與音樂風格的《我很忙》,相信給大家一種暢快淋漓的活潑趣味!另一曲「蒲公英的約定」則改編自電影《不能說的秘密》的插曲旋律,再經重新編曲、填詞。

My Thoughts
This is the 8th Jay Chou album. Generally, you'll still find his signature Chinese R&B+Rap Style, a little bit of Rock, a few tracks' were actually melodies taken from the soundtrack - Secret, which are nice melodies, and introducing a new style from him - Western Country Style (which turn off lotsa fans). LOL~

It's the first track actually - 牛仔很忙 Cowboy On The Run (Niu Zai Hen Mang), that created a mixed reviews & feelings from both the fans and non-fans. Most of them find it hard to accept such experimental style from Jay Chou.

Personally I find the track, funny+cute+fun! In fact, that's one of the reason that got me into getting this album... for my girlfriend - Wildchild (be warn!!! She's big fan of Jay Chou... watch your comments/remarks about Jay Chou, when she's around).

-_-!!

I have a couple of tracks I really like: 牛仔很忙 Cowboy On The Run (Niu Zai Hen Mang), 彩虹 Rainbow (Cai Hong), 青花瓷 Blue Vase (Qing Hua Ci), 陽光宅男 Sunshine Homeboy (Yang Guang Zhai Nan), 蒲公英的約定 Dandelion's Promise (Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding), 無雙 Unparalleled (Wu Shuang), 我不配 I'm Not Worthy (Wo Bu Pei), 扯 Pull/Ripping (Che), 甜甜的 Sweetness (Tian Tian De), & 最長的電影 The Longest Movie (Zui Chang De Dian Ying)... which are the entire album.

LOL~ Hey I'm a Jay Chou Fan now! /KAKAKAKA~

seriously, it's nice!

Facts
I used to dislike Jay Chou's works, I have no idea what he's singing is all about (even though I find his lyrics are interesting), especially his acting. However, I changed my view after, experiencing his work from his 7th album - Still Fantasy 依然范特西.

I was impressed with the particular track 千里之外 Faraway (Qiān Lǐ Zhī Wài), duet with veteran Fei Yu-Ching. It was an unique collaborations, between old school way of singing+modern Chinese R&B. Not to mention, great music arrangement, and excellent film+cinematography on the MVs.

Then came the movie - Secret, a movie I was so reluctant to watch, due to his acting in previous movies, but was dragged by the number one fan, and so I went.

And again, he stunned+impressed me with more talents, and from then, I decided to become a Jay Chou Fan.
