Celebrity pushed back till July
Celebrity was due out on June 26,
but it has now been pushed back until July 24th. Meanwhile, *NSYNC's first
single entitled "Pop" is scheduled to be released to radio in mid-May,
followed by a cd single release in mid-June. The guys have also promised
to
preview the album on their PopOdyssey
tour, which kicks off May 18th in Jacksonville, FL. 'NSYNC embrace the
of-the-moment dance sound of England's two-step/U.K. garage movement on
"Pop." Listen to a clip here. Dance producer BT, who has remixed songs
for Madonna, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and Seal, worked with 'NSYNC
on the song, EW reported in its latest issue. "We took it to
where we think music is going," Justin Timberlake, who co-wrote the song,
told the magazine. "It's more futuristic. It's like R&B twice as fast."
Celebrity will also include the ballad "Gone" and the potential single
"Game Over." Rodney Jerkins produced
the title track, while R&B crooner
Brian McKnight produced a track called "Selfish."
