I bought this album about a year ago and I still play it very frequently! The thing is, you just won't get fed up of listening to her records! Her techniques and versatility are stunning! Track no.1 (Love Life) is very Maniac Street Preachers! It's great and is certainly a pleasure to listen to! Song no.2 (Face)is definitely the best! Her voice is brilliant, and the track won the Best Lyrics Award last year! The 3rd track (Sex Commandments), is again, performed with a different style. The song is wicked and somehow beautifully morbid! It was selelcted as one of the best 10 records in Hong Kong last year! Trust me, the first 3 tracks on the album are enough to satisfy...The front cover of the album is stunning, take a look and you will know why! To me, listenning to her songs is a whole new experience, and I am definitely looking forward to enjoy her upcoming works! EXCELLENT!

This 'extra tracks' album includes the bonus Cantonese CD, which contains 3 tracks taken from the Mandarin collection but with a different accompaniment and are sang in Cantonese. To me these songs sound way better than the ones in the CD proper, especially 'Forgive Yourself' and 'Love Commandments'. The songs are just arranged better and give a totally different, and I would argue, 'righter', feel to the original Mandarin songs. so if you want to buy the 'Chan you' CD, it's better to get this one with the bonus CD included than just getting the plain Mandarin version. Although, with Faye's voice, in any language and arrangement you'll get your money's worth! No doubt about that!

After watching Chunking Express, I became interested in actress Faye Wong and found out she has been much more noted in her country and region as a singer than as an actress. I purchased a couple of her cd's and really enjoyed them. Even though I don't know the language, music is universal and the songs are catchy. I searched on-line for a consensus of what might be considered the best of her many cd's, and Chang You was most frequently mentioned. I ordered it through Amazon, and have been enjoying it ever since. Highly recommended.

This album is undoubtly one of the best Faye Wong albums ever. The new album 'Only Love Strangers' is ground breaking but this is a classic. The first track 'Love Life' is arranged very unusally with electronic hip hop rock and the talented voics of Faye wong vocals. The only love ballad, which is rather strange for Faye Wong and espeacially canto pop is 'Red Bean'or 'Consatnt Returns' onthe cantonese 3 track bonus disc. 'Red Bean' follows the genre of 'Its a Date' and 'I don't want that Either' on Faye's previous albums. Its better than the formers but this track is especially emotional with the Lin Xi's lyrics. The track 'Fly' is refreshing to listen to. 'Little Genius' is rather specatcular with its syntesis arrangement. I love 'Love Boundary' on teh bonus disc its very mystic and trip-hip- hop rock and very much like the track 'Mystic Road ' on Faye's 95 album Di-Dar. 'Childhhod' is wriiten by Faye Wong abd so is 'Love Life. 'Childhood9tong)' features Faye's daughters Ton's voice and is a dance track. Overall this is a fantastic album like no other canto pop album and unlike any other asian artist. MUST BUY for fans and alike and a great intorduction to Faye's Music.

I was a bit surprised at this one. It is very easy to dismiss this one as MOR/Folk etc..but the more I listen to it the more it grows on me..almost like Jagger/Stones doing a bit of country music ie.,Let it Bleed era. Very pretty songs as always..plus the disco/tabla Indian flavored number w/ her daughter gurgling etc. Cute sounding kid! Not my favorite but always a cut above anything else out there. Sting..watch your back as far as Pop diversity..this girl is on the prowl! Still highly recommended!
