SOUNDTRACK REVIEW:

Jay Chou fans who believe in intellectual property will be getting this 52-minute soundtrack album for the single end title song he performs. Frequent crooners at karaoke pubs will already know ‘Secret’, a track he composes with his long time collaborator Fang Wen Shan. The mild rock tune is beautifully written and sung in the Jay Chou style we are all familiar with.

For soundtrack collectors, there are about 24 other music and song cues which appear in Chou’s directorial debut. Together with Thai composer Terdsak Janpan, Chou demonstrates his flair for music by not only composing original tunes, he also personally performing piano classical pieces that wowed us tremendously with its technicalities. You just need to listen to ‘Piano Duel’ and ‘Piano Duet’ to get a testament of this. His large fan base all over Asia definitely isn’t accidental. We are totally convinces that this guy’s got talent.

Elsewhere, listen out for ‘Don’t Cry for Me, Girl’ and ‘Summer Doll’, which Chou composed specially for the movie. The latter is a refreshingly chirpy breather which will have you tapping your feet to the infectious melody. There is also an oldie ‘Lover’s Tears’ which will trigger memories for the nostalgic listener.

The more emotional portions are felt in the second half of the album, especially evident in ‘Secret’ and ‘Xiao Yu’s Confession’. The heartfelt piano and strings accentuate the sentiments of the characters in the movie. Of course, it’d help a lot if you’d seen the film while listening to the soundtrack. The earnest scenes will replay in your mind, and maybe without you knowing, a tear may have rolled down your cheek – such is the power of an effective soundtrack.
