Fantasy (Jay Chou album)

Fantasy (Chinese: 范特西) is the second studio album by Taiwanese singer Jay Chou. It was released on 14 September 2001, by BMG Taiwan. Akin to his debut record, Fantasy was entirely composed and produced by Chou himself, while the lyrics were penned by him along with Vincent Fang and Vivian Hsu. Fantasy not only breaks new ground in Chou's production standards, but also matures in its creation. The album not only includes lyrical R&B songs, but also broadens his horizons to include other styles such as hip-hop, rock, rap and traditional Japanese music.
