YesAsia Editorial Description

Released in 2004, Jay Chou's fifth album Common Jasmine Orange, or Qi Li Xiang, is a quintessential work from the Taiwanese superstar. This chart-topping album comes with familiar sounds and pleasant surprises, continuing Jay's signature style which have by now become a genre unto its own. After dedicating his fourth album to his mother, Jay pays musical tribute to his grandmother with the sweet "Grandmother" (Track 4). There are catchy R&B-rap fusions like "My Territory" (Track 1), "General" (Track 5), and "Chaotic Dance of Spring and Autumn" (Track 7), fast-paced, tongue-twisting numbers that are distinctly Chairman Chou. And no Jay Chou album would be complete without his touching ballads, including the dramatic war-themed rap ballad "War Ending Wounds" (Track 10), karaoke favorite "Excuse" (Track 3), and of course the titular Common Jasmine Orange (Track 2), a soft, romantic love song with image-laden lyrics.

This reissue of Common Jasmine Orange comes with a DVD containing the music videos for Common Jasmine Orange and "War Ending Wounds".

Top Quality Work, as always Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10

I was astound by Jay's superb musical gift & daring attempts in defying the traditions in Chinese pop music industry when he first released his debut album back in 2000, and I've purchased every Jay album ever since. There's no doubt that Jay Chou's incomparable composition, passionate vocals, innovative singing techniques, and sophisticated lyrics have all remained unmatched & unsurpassed in the Chinese pop-music arena, not to mention his unparalleled talent & mastery in piano, cello, and a number of other instruments. Those audiences who don't honor Jay Chou for the credit he deserves, apparently they have misinterpreted the true motive & meaning of music. Jays music is a medium for communication regardless of language barrier; its something that nourishes the mind & soul. Furthermore, Jays music covers such a diverse range of themes with worldly concerns such as war, urbanization, domestic violence, cultural pride, drug abuse, family relationships, racial discrimination, etc., which is much more matured & superior in comparison to other main-stream singers who only produce songs revolving around superficial love between boy & girl. Those who heavily criticize Jay for his mumbling singing style are truly over-looking the most important aspects of music (i.e. the composition, the vocal power & technique, the messages hidden within the music) and are simply too obsessed with what's considered "proper" in conventional Chinese music & conventional Chinese male vocals. (By the way, vocal qualities such as Jays are very much favored in other cultures) In other words, those who think Jays music is nothing more than mumble-jumbo are really stuck within the confines of tradition and refuses to explore beyond the boundaries for new possibilities. Ironically, a lot of complaints about Jay's mumbling singing style come from those who cannot understand/read/write the Chinese language, which I find to be very pathetic.
