Rising Star: Is JC the new JT?

He was in *NSYNC, he's best mates with Justin Timberlake and his solo album is tipped for the top. What's not to like about JC Chasez?

What should we expect from your new album, Schizophrenic?

A barrage of sound. Everything - rock, R&B, up-tempo tracks, ballads. It's all about me going with the vibe.

Was it scary leaving the security of *NSYNC, one of the biggest bands in the world, to start out on your own?

More exciting. I don't think there's any security in this business. And I didn't rush into it. I took a year off to write it.

You've been described as the new Prince. How does that make you feel?

There are worse things to be called! He's definitely one of my heroes.

There must be some music you hate?

Every genre has a bunch of crap, but if you get to the good stuff it's worth it.

Do you ever feel embarrassed about being in the Mickey Mouse Club?

Absolutely not. I ended up going to five proms because everyone wanted to be my date and I travelled the world. Would I trade in that time? No way.

Were you mad that your Superbowl performance was cancelled because of the Janet Jackson breast incident with Justin Timberlake?

I think the organisers reacted a bit prudishly. Justin was cool. He called me up and was like, 'Yo, man, I never thought anything I did on stage would reflect on you.' He didn't have to.

Some Girls takes up the girl on girl gauntlet thrown down by Britney and Madonna. What's been the response?

[Laughs] People dig that song, man. It's about observing girls flirting with girls to get guys' attention, not sex.

As opposed to All Day Long I Think About Sex which is about sex?

Erm, yeah. My mom had a laugh about that. She said, 'I love your music. I just don't always agree with what you say.' That made me crack up. But it's all fun.

Schizophrenic is released on 12 April.

Mmmmmmmmmm, I adore JC.
