JC Chasez and Timberlake are Back 'NSync
July 22 2006 - AOLMusicNewsBlog.com

J.C. Chasez has enlisted the help of former 'NSync bandmate Justin Timberlake for two tracks on the follow-up to his 2004 album 'Schizophrenic.'

The boys reunited to co-write and produce 'God Bless America' and 'Until Yesterday,' the first single from Chasez's upcoming effort. "We had a lot of fun," Chasez tells AOL Music. "'Until Yesterday' is a lot of Beatles-meet-Freddy Mercury. That guy was so operatic and entertaining, and the song is a soap opera."

Though the former boy-banders both release their new records later this year, Chasez says it didn't put them off collaborating. "The records are two different worlds. They really are," he says. "We're not competing in any way, shape or form.

"It's hard for people to imagine. But we have two very different stories to tell, and we had a lot going on in our lives the last four or five years that we've been apart. You really can't play one record on my album that sounds like any one of his records."

Other producers on the record include Dallas Austin and Nelly Furtado's recent duet partner Timbaland. Chasez says listeners will be surprised at his new direction.

"Everything I've been working on is mainly guitar-based," he says.
