"Boy" Meets World of Solo Music

You didn't think the Backstreet Boys were really out of the picture, did you? The boys are taking some time out for themselves and away from each other. Nick Carter is back in the limelight with his solo debut, "Now or Never," which includes influences from Nirvana and Journey to give it a "rock/alternative/pop sound." Brian Littrell and his wife are preparing for a different kind of project –– a baby. Finally, A.J. McLean is preparing for marriage. While Carter has been busy with his own project, the rest of the boys have been equally busy writing music for their forthcoming album. Howie Dorough has high hopes that by the start of 2003, the Backstreet Boys will be touring once again. They have already begun work on a new album by recording two songs.
