Jay Chau - Capricorn 魔杰座 (Mó Jié Zuò)

Jay Chau's 9th album based on his zodiac 'Capricorn' and his current fascination with illusion. He did it again! Brilliant music and lyrics arrangement. Been listening to his album like everyday, so addictive! There's two version of the tracklist, where the fake one features alternate song titles created by sites that hosted the leaked files (do you agree that they are pretty creative?).

Trust me, this album is so addictive! All are my fav!

Ok, if you are threatening me with a butcher's knife, I would have to pick Lan Ting Xu.

So hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing & if I'm not wrong, 

it opens with erhu (Chinese violin) and a choir of backups in the chorus. All of that really made the song so damn beautiful, although I don't really get the meaning of the song @_@ 

Can I pick 1 more one too?? Shuo hao de xing fu ne reminds me of something that happened recently, if not always! ya, pretty sad right, you people shud care about me more! :D

So yea, tat song has a place in my heart... and brain for now! :)

His metaphoric, imagery, poetic & full of emotions lyric are sometimes kinda hard for a banana like me to comprehend. (I suck =_=; )

龍戰騎士 Dragon Warrior Knight - perfect when you're feeling sluggish or when you're up for an intense workout

給我一首歌的時間 Give Me The Time Of A Song - when you feeling melancholy?

蛇舞 Snake Dance - shake that booty!

花海 Ocean Of Flowers Ocean -  sappy ballad

魔術先生 Mr. Magic - a song that proves he can produces fun happy songs too

說好的幸福呢 Where is the Promised Happiness - another sappy ballad, please don't listen to this when you are feeling emo (you have been warned...) got me teary, damn it

流浪詩人 Wander Poet -  featuring Gary Cao Ge, nice duet

時光機 Time Machine - light & relaxing 

喬克叔叔 Uncle Joker - i know you will secretly wanna shake your booty to this

稻香 Fragrant Rice - seriously, when I was having that 'wtf am I gonna do with my life, omg I'm so emo ' phrase, this song totally cured me

Ahhh lengthy post...
