Galaxie: Perfectionist At Work

Galaxie: Perfectionist At Work



When something is worth doing its worth doing right. This is

Taiwanese heartthrob Jerry Yen's (of the group F4) philosophy. And

that is why his debut album took over two years to produce. Jerry

wanted to have his personal stamp on everthing so he took bold new

steps - he took piano lessons, went for vocal training classes and

even tried writing song lyrics. In order to concentrate on giving his

best for the album, Jerry even rejected several acting offers.

"A few years ago, when we (F4) were recording our first group album,

we did not have time to prepare and at the same time we were also

busy filming," he said. "There was no way we could put in 100 per

cent where feelings or performances were concerned. In fact, when I

first heard myself, I actually felt sorry for my mother. To think

that she gave birth to someone who sung so badly!"

This time around though, a lot of effort has been taken to ensure

that Jerry gives his best; in fact, he didn't even mind singing a

particular verse repeatedly 50 times just so they could get it done

well.

On of the producers of the album, Lee Sze Song, is a stickler for

details and because Jerry himself is a perfectionist, the two worked

well together, spending over a week to record just one song. Jerry

admitted that he felt pressured to deliver but said he is more

concerned on how fans will receive his album than the album sales

performance. He also said that although he could have released the

album when F4 was at its height, he wanted to have a quality product

rather than just release an album for the sake of it.
