Former N 'Sync star JC Chasez has enlisted the help of British rocker James Bourne to help reignite his music career.

Chasez, 31, scored several hit singles with the Bye Bye Bye hitmakers, but has failed to find the solo success enjoyed by ex-bandmate Justin Timberlake.

But the singer hopes working with former Busted star Bourne, 24, will help him tap into the new generation of pop music.

He says, "I've been in and out of the studio a lot lately, working with all kinds of different artists, producers and writers."

"I had a couple sessions with James Bourne. He is a great writer."

Chasez will release the album under his own record label after losing his contract with Jive Records earlier this year.
