Dragon's Heart Reviews:
A tender side of Jackie 
2003-08-06 - I love the soothing sound of Jackie's singing voice. Though the songs are not in English, the emotions come through. It's a very pleasant way to have a part of Jackie with you whether driving in the car or relaxing at home.
Karate chops & soulful ballads 
2003-03-25 - I guess it comes as no surprise that someone as graceful as Jackie Chan would have the voice of an angel. No surprise to me, at least.
I've been anxiously awaiting the domestic release of this album for years, so you can imagine how excited I was to add "Dragon's Heart" to my collection.
Chan's singing voice is distinct -- combining the vocal stylings of western singers (think Scott Stapp of Creed), with certain qualities of his native country. While his broken-English sometimes distracts from the true meaning of the song, the tenderness in his voice will make you forget about any questionable lyric translations.
My favorite song on the album is "Japanese", which exposes Chan's most vulnerable side.
There have been a number of Hollywood stars that have attempted a music career and failed (Don Johnson), but there are many more that have succeeded (Eddie Murphy). I'm happy to say that Jackie Chan is part of the latter category.
Chan's songs are a breath of fresh air in a world filled with formulaic, corporate music.
