A few weeks ago I did manage to review his latest album: "Exclamation Mark" and gave it a good thumbs up with particular songs on the CD. But Jay has recently shot a couple for music videos for "超跑女神" and "迷魂曲", both songs which I am not particularly proud of. But let us look at 超跑女神 first:
The introduction melody is delightful, cheerful and weirdly happy. Not sure why. It shows a shy and childish Jay Chou character who likes to play with his car collectibles. Overall at this point I find it cute and adorable, until the whole set transforms into a swimming pool scene loaded with random Asian chicks - and everyone is dressed in white. Whereas this serves as immensely popular eye candy to the thousands who wish to see something like this, it simply does not go with the song. I don't understand the plot to be honest, nor the lyrics but right now I just want to write more about why the music and the story of the music video do not go together.
Firstly, everyone there (who seems to be attractive) is wearing white it is normally because it is some PIMP's party, therefore it would have made more sense if there was a heavy beat, hip-hop/RnB or whatever kind of track - just not Jay's.

The second song is based on an inception theme, yet again, we don't see any more innovative strategies by Jay Chou towards his new style - and that is really all I wanted to say about the second video.
