The interview is with one of the writers of Jewel In Our Hearts. It's over 20 minutes long


Nick says that he doesn't like Now or Never. He doesn't like the way he sang on it and he wasn't ready to be a solo artist. He had to honour the fact that he was Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and do more pop and soul.

That's right kids.....solo time.

Nick is currently in Japan gearing up for the release of his 2nd solo cd "I'm Taking Off", which is released tomorrow February 2nd. Initially the cd will be released just in Japan, although you can order it from Amazon or Nick Carter's solo website http://nickcarter.net/splash.

He has also just struck up a deal with German record company GLOR (thanks to Misha of ALD and TDS for the info). The first single is due to be released April 29th and the album hits shelves May 27th.

His first single in Japan, "Just One Kiss" is climbing the charts and will very possibly be the song he performs live at the Japan Billboard awards held Feb 6th.

I'm Taking Off preview by smeagls_twin

It is important to note that Nick wrote on every song on his album except for "Jewel In Our Hearts" which was written by two Japanese writers. This song was written specifically for the Japanese market. There will probably be a different bonus track for the European release ( rumours are "Scream" )


One of the tracks "Falling Down" is about Nick's family, his parents and brother and sisters.
