Aaron Carter's 18th Birthday Plans Include Working With Pharrell

[Beth]

MIAMI — When we first met Aaron Carter, he was a pre-pubescent, mop-topped singer best known for being Backstreet Boy Nick's little brother. Now, as the blond heartthrob nears adulthood, Carter is looking to ditch his teenybopper persona


"I'm taking my time trying to transition because the Aaron Carter you saw back then — now [I'm] a completely different person." — Aaron Carter


and churn out, well, grown-up music. "I'm taking my time trying to transition because the Aaron Carter you saw back then — now [I'm] a completely different person," the 17-year-old singer told MTV News. "My voice has changed. It's gotten more mature. It's going to be more adult oriented and not just for little kids."

The pop crooner was only 10 when he found international fame with his 1998 self-titled LP. U.S. success came with 2000's Aaron's Party (Come Get It), which went double-platinum in the U.S. and hit #4 on Billboard's albums chart thanks to the in-your-dreams single "That's How I Beat Shaq."

Now, Carter is looking to recruit one of the industry's most sought-after beat makers to produce a follow-up to 2002's Another Earthquake, which failed to make a blip on the charts.

"I'm actually going to be working with Pharrell Williams probably at the end of the year, when I turn 18," the singer said. "When that big day comes, we're gonna lay down some hot tracks."

Carter is also intent on having more creative input this time around. "I'm starting to write all my own music and own my own style," he explained.

But before he hits the recording studio, the singer/actor — who can currently be seen onscreen in the motorcycle-racing action flick "Supercross" starring Mike Vogel ("Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants") and Sophia Bush ("One Tree Hill") — will be in Los Angeles for the next two months making his rounds in the über-competitive audition circuit, looking for his next big-screen gig.

In the meantime, Carter has the teen romance "Popstar" ready for release. The singer plays — you guessed it — a famous pop star in the film. Riding high on his fame, Carter's character is slapped back to reality by his mother, who forces him to go back to high school to raise his failing home-school grades. If the teenage superstar doesn't pass his classes, his sold-out summer tour gets scrapped.

"It's a love story," Carter explained. "I [get this girl to tutor me] and end up falling in love with her."

Brace yourself for some '70s throwbacks — former teen idols David Cassidy and Leif Garrett make appearances in the film, set for DVD release in November.

[Aaronfan4eva]

ok i feel really stupid but who is Pharrel Williams? LMAO

[ashangel210]

He's this ugly dude that sings or something....haha he was/is in the Neptunes. That's all I know. I don't like him.....but if he helps get Aaron's CD done, then woo hoo.

[Beth]

he's responsible for snoog dogg's drop it like it's hot, worked with gwen stefani on her solo album...um...yeah. he's huge in the music industry. worked with j. timberlake too.

[acfan4life]

we have to wait another year..oh no. but if that guy is going to help him make it big then i guess i can wait another year.

[XxSugAaRxX]

Wait.. I thought it meant that the album would be done at the end of '05 early '06?
Now its at the end of 2006?

[freedomchild]

t4p!!!!! :)

Now its at the end of 2006?
There's no release date.

Aaron said 'at the end of the year' ('05) several months ago, but if he won't be able to record any songs with Pharrel until he is 18 in December, then we can just forget about getting a CD from him this year.

Run it on Backstreet Time, and we should have the album in the Summer of 2006, or in the Autumn 2006. lol.

[AaronsCutie]

Why does he have to wait till he's 18 to work with him I don't get it LOL... w/e I'm excited for him:)

[Aaronfan4eva]

He's this ugly dude that sings or something....haha he was/is in the Neptunes. That's all I know. I don't like him.....but if he helps get Aaron's CD done, then woo hoo.

LMAO. that made me laugh.


that's how i look at it. :)

[Aaronfan4eva]

ok, i am getting really pee'd off. i am SICK of wating for this stupid album (well, it's not stupid but u know what i mean:)) I got one ting to say: this album better be pretty dag-on good for us to be waiting this long. i am sick of listening to the same somgs over and over. i want some new ones. I dont know what i would have done w/o forever for your love and enough of me. lol

[Aaronfan4eva]

^not saying that the old songs suck cause they dont. i will NEVER get sick of Aaron's songs. i just want some new ones ya know?

[ashangel210]

I see what you're saying. My philosophy is though, if BSB managed to put out an album after all that time, Aaron will too.

[acfan4life]

i think its good that he is waiting and not giving a cd out now because if he did now the only people that would buy it is us. he should get his name out there first. i think he wants to tell everyone he is back by doing a lot of acting now.

[OcBaybee]

alright yes i am sick of waiting. But hell if he is still doing things to continue to make it better than so be it. No one said end of 2006 so i dont know why people are jumping to those conclusions. Who knows when it will be out. As long as its gonna kick arse then i dont care lmao.. i continue to go see him in concert, eventhough i do wanna hear new music.

Pharell will make him be known more. Pharell wont work with someone he doesnt think has potential. So that makes aaron look good. And maybe he has to wait til he is 18 because there are somethings he want to say but cant say them as a minor (wow.. what a thought) but who knows.

[Beth]

thanks for posting that was sooooo awesome thanks again!!....x3

no prob =)

[frackzbrozgal]

you guys sorry, but im kinda doubting this cd realeses (sp) before the end of 2006. at first, he said march, then summer, then august, then end of this year (which cant happen if he works with pharrell in december) so im doubting it

[Kiss_This_Btch]

who the hell cares when his cd is gonna come out? just be patient and be happy he is at least COMING OUT with a new cd. at least he is taking the time to make sure it's good. like by working with pharrel (sp?) for instance. the longer the gap, the better the cd.. at least in my opinion.

chill out kids.

[OcBaybee]

i'd have to agree with ya on that one.
