's first album "Aaron Carter".
The second album "Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)".
The third album "0h! Aaron》.
Not long ago, another post-80s generation in the European and American music scene returned with his latest album - he was Aaron Carter, the former "little prince of pop music".
As the younger brother of Nick Carter, a member of the "Backstreet Boy", Aaron Carter has been destined to be different from others since the first day he entered the entertainment industry 20 years ago. However, as the originator of teen idols, Aaron Carter released his fourth album "Another Earthquake" since 2002! After 》, there are few new trends in musical works.
On February 10, 2017, Aaron Carter released a EP "LØVË" with 5 songs. A year later, he finally developed this EP into a complete album with 15 songs (including 3 Remix), and released it again under the same name. Many music fans lamented that the idols in youth have finally returned.
1 dazzling child star
1 December 7, 1987, Aaron Carter was born in Children's General Hospital in Florida, USA. A few minutes before his birth, his twin sister Angel arrived. The birth of the twin siblings was welcomed by their elder brothers and sisters, including Nick Carter, who later became a member of the Backstreet Boy.
At the age of two, Aaron Carter began to learn to sing and dance. He once recalled: "I learned how to sing when I could speak. I would dance around the house while singing." At the age of seven, he formed his first band DEAD END. Two years later, the lead singer parted ways with DEAD END because he wanted to do more and better pop music.
Aaron is very lucky to have an older brother as an example. Nick's success in the backstreet boy undoubtedly opened up a smooth road for Aaron. In 1997, the Backstreet Boy held a concert in Germany. Ten-year-old Aaron became the only special guest. His blonde hair and blue eyes and full of youthful vitality quickly blew a whirlwind. Just as other children of the same age were playing electric, watching movies and riding bicycles with classmates, Aaron Carter was rehearsing performances with hundreds of staff including lighting, audio, dance groups, musicians, or singing for tens of thousands of live audiences with superstars such as Britney Sweetie and Boys Backstreet.
2 Make a comeback
1998, Aaron Carter released his first album "Aaron Carter". After this album was launched, it quickly landed on the rankings of countries around the world, and also received gold record sales in 12 countries. Immediately afterwards, his second album, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" won him No. 4 in the Billboard album chart. The third album "0h! Aaron won him the 3rd Teen Choice Award for Best Male Singer.
Aaron said that at the age of 12, he made $300 million with songs such as "I Want Candy" and "That's How I Beat Shaq". He is the youngest singer with five consecutive top ten golden songs in American music history, and is hailed as the "Little Prince of Pop". However, the superstar went astray at the beginning of this century, and he has not released a full album since 2002. Apart from a period in the rehabilitation center and an unwise reality show, Carter’s House, he has largely faded out of sight.
And now, he is trying to make a comeback. Aaron said he spent 10 years learning how to make an album from scratch. Over the years, he has accumulated a wealth of musical knowledge and production skills that he did not obtain during his time at Aaron’s Party (Come Get It). For example, between 2011 and 2013, he performed in a Broadway production, Fantasia, for a while, which taught him how to better navigate music. "I don't want to give up on music," he said. "I have some fans who support me. I want to prove myself - I'm not just an artist, I'm also a musician, a composer, a conductor, a arranger."
3 Continue to prove
Over the years, Aaron has experienced many financial difficulties, and eventually, he filed for bankruptcy protection.So, this also made it difficult for him to obtain external funding to make music, so he began to learn how to do each link so that the album production process was a little cheaper.
It is not easy to transform from a 14-year-old pop prince to a 30-year-old pop star. Aaron said he wouldn't mind if fans were still willing to associate him with his teenage years "Aaron's Party (Come Get It) and "I Want Candy" instead of the latest song "Fool's Gold."
"That's me," he said, "but there's a way to connect these." That's when he tries to make up for the gap with his old songs, such as doing an electronic remix version of "I Want Candy," or doing a sequel to "Aaron's Party (Come Get It).
"I have something to prove," said Aaron, who wants to create music that makes him proud of when he is old, and he doesn't care about money. "I was driving the 6.0 Lamborghini when I was 12 years old. We had 12 cars, 12 houses, 5 dogs, two 70-foot yachts, 20 golf carts... But these things have nothing to do with me. Love is important to me." "LØVË" is important to him.
[About the new album]
Away from the simple Teenpop era, Aaron Carter added a lot of EDM elements to this album. "Fool’s Gold" is the first single on the new album, released on April 1, 2016 and is also the sixth song included in the album. Fool's Gold, literally translated as "fool's gold", is actually a kind of pyrite, which is often mistaken for real material because of its color similar to gold. But since pyrite is relatively worthless, this word is found. In an interview with the media, Aaron Carter said: "From production, songwriting, mixing, photography, music video, packaging and distribution, everything is a collective participation of a team, and I like to call it Fool’s Gold of the team." The second single "Sooner or Later" of
was released on January 20, 2017. This song ranks fourth in the Billboard chart Spotify 50 rankings. The third single "Don’t Say Goodbye" was released on December 8, 2017 the day after Aaron's 30th birthday. Finally, on January 30, 2018, the full album was finally officially announced. Later, Aaron would post a song title every day through his Instagram account. To celebrate Valentine's Day and promote the album's upcoming release, Aaron released the latest Remix version of "I Want Candy", a song that was also his top 10 most popular hits in 2000 on February 14, 2018.
