With the recent release of his self-titled debut album, Jay Chou delivers a truly impressive performance.

A music prodigy, Jay is skilled and trained in both contemporary and classical music. His effusive talents are also seen through many previous songs written by Jay for the other well-known artists, such as Valen Hsu, Vivian Hsu, and Jacky Wu. At the tender age of 21, Chou is the song-writer, arranger, and producer for his entire album, as well as the lyricist for two of the ten songs. Not bad for one that has just begun his musical career.

Chou's album provides a non-traditional and innovative sound. Tracks such as "Istanbul," "Tornado," and "Backwards Clock" are soulful and romantic love songs, each with a unique and fresh beat. In "Black Humor," Chou expresses his deepest emotions about losing his love, stretches his vocal limits, and takes the audience to a realm of heart-felt sorrow.

There are two more tracks worth mentioning. "Star Gazing," a relaxing song sung beautifully with simple lyrics, leaving the listener humming to its melody. "Three-On-Three Basketball" is an upbeat hip-hop song that redefines the "too-cool-for-life" attitude of the e-generation.

Another accomplishment in Jay Chou's album is his unparalleled Chinese rapping skills. He often interweaves his incredibly fast rapping with smooth R&B songs, keeping the listeners on their toes. However, many criticize Chou's constant mumbling of his lyrics, which makes his songs somewhat incomprehensible. Others prefer his occasional murmuring because it effectively gives Jay Chou's music a casual personality, reflecting that of his own.

Jay Chou's first album is filled with many surprises as you will see, and it certainly promises a bright future in the music industry.

Jay Chou was born on the 18th of January, 1979 in Taiwan.He was raised by his mother and was shy and quiet during his childhood. Showing interest in music, he began learning to play the piano at the age of 3. By age 16, he was writing songs for popular artists of that time.

Jay first entered the music industry when he appeared in a talent show with his friend, where he accompanied as the pianist. They failed miserably in making a mark on television, but the producer saw the line notes written by Jay was good, so he decided to take a chance on him. Due to Jay's looks not being good enough for the instant stardom that many of his colleagues could easily attain, he was initially hired to compose songs and write lyrics for others, including Vivian Hsu and Jolin Tsai. Many of his songs became instant hits, though most people were not aware that they were his creations.

In 2000, it was decided that Jay should be given his chance to produce an album of his own. He released his first album Jay, which much to everyone's surprise became an instant hit. It gained great attention among the international Chinese-speaking community (including Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, etc). When his second album Fantasy was released he was already among one of the top pop stars in the Chinese-speaking community. His most critically and financially successful album as of yet is his third, Eight Dimensions.

In 2005, Jay played the leading role in the movie Initial D (Takumi Fujiwara), which was based on a popular Japanese manga of the same name. It was the most popular and talked about movie in Asia, premiering in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan and Western Countries as well. Other well known celebrities are playing too, such as Anne Suzuki, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Chapman To and Anthony Wong.
