OH MY GOODNESS
Okay, so I've been gone all day. And here's what I come home to:
'NSYNC's JC Chasez Records Solo Tracks, Considers Album
10.10.2002 4:34 PM EDT
Justin Timberlake is not the only 'NSYNCer releasing solo material this year.
JC Chasez will have at least one song on the soundtrack for the upcoming movie "Drumline" and appears to be well into his own album.
Dallas Austin, who's producing the film and the soundtrack, has recorded four songs with Chasez, including "Blowin' Me Up," a strong contender to be the soundtrack's first single.
"We've been doing some great, great material," Austin said Wednesday from his Atlanta home. "At first he wasn't going to do a record, but I think now he's kind of interested, so we'll probably just keep recording. We were just writing songs for the movie and we caught a niche and it was like, 'Oh sh--, this is cool for you, let's keep going.' "
So far Chasez and Austin have recorded fun, fast-paced songs and mid-tempo ballads.
"It's back to George Michael and Prince and that '80s era, where even though you had up-tempos, they still had songs to them, they had a lot of attitude," Austin explained. "It was a trip because we didn't realize how far away music had gotten from doing real songs until we started working on this stuff."
The soundtrack — due December 10, according to Jive Records — will also include Alicia Keys, Monica, Petey Pablo and Jive newcomer Nivea, who was featured on Mystikal's "Danger (Been So Long)."
Do you know how totally bouncy I am right now? Literally bopping around in my seat like one of those paddle ball game thingies. Yes. Wheeee!!! Of course I had a feeling something like this was going to come about, but now it's out there in the news, and yes. Solo stuff for JC! I am ALL OVER that. Like, way more all over that than Justified. Even though I'm looking forward to Justified, JAYCEEEEEEEE! A whole album (potentially) of Just JC.
