Teen dream AARON CARTER is ready to unleash his hot new album Another Earthquake -- and it's really gonna shake things up!
Even at the tender age of 14, Aaron has already had quite an impressive career. In addition to a stint on the Broadway musical Seussical , he has the honor of being the youngest male solo artist to have four Top 40 singles in the U.K. Not to mention numerous TV appearances on the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, countless teen magazine covers, and of course the millions of devoted fans.
Aaron credits his older brother, BACKSTREET BOYS' member NICK CARTER , for helping to launch his career. Nick urged Aaron to open up a show for the Backstreet Boys in Germany, which earned the young hopeful his first record deal in 1997.
Another Earthquake kicks off with the high-energy rap-rock of the title track. Then Aaron sends one out "To All The Girls," a softer pop-rock number that's sure to get all the little ladies out there swooning. The BAHA MEN add a bit of reggae flavor to the first single of the album, "Summertime." This laid-back track is a tropical journey through island melodies and chilled-out vibes.
Aaron daydreams about his approaching days behind the wheel of a car on the bouncin' track, "My First Ride." He gets up close and personal on the nostalgic "Do You Remember." The upbeat tune "2 Good 2 B True" has a catchy ska feel, and an undeniable chorus.
On "When It Comes To You," Aaron tries his hand at more of a soft-rock ballad. His voice lends itself particularly well to this sound. He pays tribute to the U.S.A on the hard rocking "America A O." The infectious "Without You" mixes a Latin-inspired guitar, a poppin' rhythm, and both harmonized singing and rapping.
The bubbly Aaron is all about having a good time. "It makes no sense if I'm not having fun," he confesses. His feel-good attitude injects each song on the album with an innocent, carefree charm. The fun loving prince of pop mixes elements of pop, rock, and rap on his latest release. The result is a well-rounded album that is sure to please both the young, and the young-at-heart!
Don't forget to check out Aaron on the Rock, Rap and Retro Tour, which starts August 6 in Tennessee, with many other dates across the country. Also, keep an eye out for the release of older brother Nick's debut solo album next month!
