"Until Yesterday" - JC Chasez
To date, JC Chasez`s post-`N Sync career has met resistance due to a bagful of musical tricks that attempted to cast the singer as a hip-hop aficionado to less-than-convincing effect. "Until Yesterday" marks a dramatic change in his musical approach, with a minor-chord-driven Beatles-esque meets 'Rocky Horror' track about discovering your girlfriend is pregnant with another man`s kid.
It doesn`t hurt that former groupmate Justin Timberlake co-produced and co-wrote the track, giving Chasez newfound cachet. He remains a fairly nondistinctive vocalist, but "Yesterday" is a head-turner that could pave the way to a formidable new identity down the hitmaking highway.
"Fairly nondistinctive vocalist," jigga wha? Asswipe. Gotta give the "head-turner paving the way to a formidable new identity" part a big thumbs up, though.
Asswipe.
JC! Yay!

Hip-hop. Seriously, what the hell? He's painting JC with a hip=hop brush because of Blowin' Me Up and the Some Girls remix. Based on that last comment,I'm hoping that the reviewer will give the CD a fair chance when it finally drops, though I'm sure the review will be riddled with back-handed compliments not unlike the ones in this blurb. Asshat!
Aiiii! I'm frothing already! I'm never going to last.
