With the emergence of China's new rap variety shows, the current rap culture has gradually entered the eyes of more audiences, but long before this, Jay Chou's rap level conquered many people, just look at his dark trilogy.
1. "In the Name of the Father"
This song is included in Jay Chou's album "Ye Huimei" released on July 31, 2003, "In the Name of the Father" has a strong story, and the lyrics use many different scenes to present the chagrin and pain of the "godfather" in the song, so that the listener can have a more three-dimensional and more realistic feeling. The arrangement of the song is also full of opera flavor, which matches the overall feeling and theme of the song.
With this song, Jay Chou premiered "In the Name of the Father" on July 16, 2003, more than 50 radio stations across Asia simultaneously and listened to it by 800 million people, so July 16 of each year was designated as "Jay Chou Day". These achievements are enough to prove the level of this song.
2. "Nocturne"
"Nocturne" is a song performed by Jay Chou, lyrics by Fang Wenshan, music composed by Jay Chou, and arranged by Lin Mike, included in Jay Chou's album "Chopin in November" released on November 1, 2005
The degree of singing of this song is relatively high for other songs, and this song has helped Jay Chou win 11 singer awards such as the Most Popular Music Video Award in the 12th Global Chinese Music Chart and the Best Singer-songwriter Award in the 12th Global Chinese Music Chart, and the weight is also quite sufficient.
3. The Seventh Chapter of the Night
"The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is a song performed by Jay Chou, composed by Jay Chou, lyrics by Huang Junlang, arranged by Zhong Xingmin and Lin Mike, and Sung by Pan Er, included in Jay Chou's album "Still Fantasia" released on September 5, 2006
"The Seventh Chapter of the Night" is a suspenseful allusion to the story of the famous 1983 detective Sherlock Holmes. The sound of the typewriter is quickly unveiled, Sherlock Holmes's diary hides clues, classical music and electronic music merge with each other, and Jay Chou's self-talking Rap, incarnated as Sherlock Holmes, leads the audience to find the truth of the murder.
Jay Chou's deliberately low hard voice singing method with a humorous soprano suggests the calmness of the detective and the madness of the murderer, and the music is finally heard jay Chou sing in a false tone, presenting the difficult movie soundtrack pattern in popular music.
This song you carefully stop will make you have a sense of immersion, I can say without exaggeration that this song is a "work of art", compared to the first two songs, although there is no more outstanding achievement, this song gives people a very special feeling
