Nick Carter bonded with new bandmate Jordan Knight over their shared sense of humour.
The Backstreet Boys singer recently partnered up with the New Kids on the Block star to form Nick & Knight, with the duo dropping their first single, One More Time, on September 2.
According to Nick, the pair came up with the idea to collaborate while laughing behind-the-scenes on their boybands’ joint NKOTBSBtour, which launched in 2011.
“We were underneath the stage and we would joke a lot before we had to go up during the concert,” he told Celebuzz. “I remember it actually coming up. It just stuck and we just kind of rolled with it.”
Jordan describes the pair’s musical approach as “broken down”, resulting in “rhythmic” and “sexy” tracks.
And the New Kids crooner is excited for fans to hear their non-conforming sound on their eponymous first release.
“We felt like we had the freedom to experiment and just be really creative and not have the pressure of doing some pop album?,” Jordan said.
The musicians are now gearing up to launch a tour of their own in support of their debut album.
The trek is scheduled to kick off in Nashville, Tennessee September 15 and will continue across North America before wrapping in Calgary, Alberta November 22.
“We’re going to take people back in time and do some hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Just have a little fun?, go down memory lane,” Jordan said. “We have a live band, there’s choreography. There’s high energy. Just fun.”
