Backstreet Boy Nick Carter Turns Up The Guitars For Solo Bow
Thu Aug 22,12:57 PM ET
(8/22/02, 1 p.m. ET) -- Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's single "Help Me" hit the airwaves Tuesday (August 20) with his first solo album, Now Or Never, due in stores on October 29. Matthew Gerrard ( Mandy Moore) and Michele Vice-Maslin co-wrote "Help Me," and Gerrard produced it.
Carter, who at the age of 22 is the youngest member of the boy band, said he's showing his rock 'n' roll influences on the album, and that includes turning up the guitars. "Yeah, I wanted to put more guitars in it, definitely. A little harder, a little newer. Just different, just very different," he said. "I've been playing guitar lately and you know, I'm probably going to start playing when I perform onstage. And y'know, the drums I've been playing since I was, 12 years old."
Now Or Never features tracks written by Carter, the Matrix, Mark Taylor (Enrique Iglesias), Steve Mac (Westlife), Max Martin, and Rami.

Nick Carter - He's Back
He’s the 22 year old blonde babe from the Backstreet Boys, and Nick Carter is about to take a shot at a solo career. Don’t worry though; he’s not leaving the Backstreet Boys! He has made it very clear that his solo project is just something that he’s wanted to do for a long time, and it won’t affect the group in any way. Nick has been influenced by rock in many ways. He said that his album is going to have a rock vibe to it, but it will still have that pop flavor to it.
So what will Nick Carter sound like doing rock? It will be something different, and it will probably bring in a whole new fan base for Backstreet. With his album slated for a release in early October, the wait is on to hear what Nick has been working on.
Nick has also been working on the Backstreet Boys fourth American album recently. The still untitled album is set to be released before the end of 2002, and it will be followed by a tour of smaller venues in 2003. Speaking of touring, Nick Carter is thinking of possibly touring to promote his album, currently titled Now or Never, but noting in for sure yet. This summer, Nick has been touring with his brother Aaron, age 14, doing radio shows. Nick said that his on stage persona would be totally different as a solo artist, because there are certain limits to things that you can do as a Backstreet Boy. I can imagine that he would put on an amazing show!
When October rolls around, be sure to pick up Nick Carter’s Now or Never, and check out his new sound. This album isn’t only for fans of pop, but it’s for fans of punk and rock as well. Give it a chance, and I’m sure you won’t regret it.
