The new album brings Aaron together with his brother, Nick Carter, of the Backstreet Boys as well as the fresh, female music group No Secrets, for a collaboration on the title track and first single. This song features a storytelling rap from Aaron and Nick over a chiming calypso melody. After promising "everyone and their cousin" tickets to a Backstreet Boys show, it is big brother, Nick, who makes a deal with Aaron to bail him out of the mess he has gotten into. No Secrets also lend a hand to the track, "Stride (Jump On the Fizzy)," a playful reworking of Matthew Wilders 1983 hit song "Break My Stride."
The time has come for Aaron to show the world how much hes matured, and he does just that on the slick and sexy "Not Too Young, Not Too Old," which includes some more vocal helpings from big brother Nick. Sure to move the crowd, "Not Too Young" begins to pump up the albums adrenaline, but things are just getting started. The body-rockin "Come Follow Me" and the rollicking "Baby Its You," keep it jumping. Softened only by a sweet ballad called "Im All About You," Oh Aaron embodies that carefree, jovial spirit that makes being young so much fun; a spirit that has attracted so many excited fans from Oklahoma City to Berlin.
Though he is growing and maturing, Aaron steadfastly embraces the ideal of staying young. The bubbly and down to earth boy sings about just that on "The Kid In You," reinforcing his belief. "It makes no sense if Im not having fun," he says. As long as he is making music, which he insists he wants to do "forever and ever," he always will. |
