JC Chasez's new single, 'Until Yesterday,' written with former *NSYNC band mate Justin Timberlake, was composed while the singer was in the midst of a self-imposed music blackout.
"I tried to stay as far away from everything as I could," Chasez says. "I wanted to create something that's really my own sound, and I feel like I've actually accomplished it."
"My last record [2004's 'Schizophrenic'] was more electro-clash, and this record went more guitar-based," the singer says. "I think every artist should grow with each record."
Helping out on the upcoming album were producers and songwriters in various locales. From Timberlake in L.A. to Timbaland in Miami and Dallas Austin in Atlanta, Chasez says the travel encouraged him to grow while writing the album. "Sometimes you lock yourself in a room and you come up with one batch of material that's great, but it's also fun to go to new places and be inspired," he says. "It triggers new, fresh ideas."
