An unlikely collaboration in the ’90s, the very thought of a duo made up of New Kids On the Block‘s Jordan Knight and the Backstreet Boys‘ Nick Carter was unheard of. That is until now.
Nick & Knight stopped by Radio.com during record release week to discuss their new album, the difficulties being a celebrity can bring and why they prefer to be called a “man band.” During the interview, Knight explained that he and Carter floated the idea of joining forces during their NKOTBSB joint tour in the summer of 2011.
“We both figured it would be cool if we teamed up and did a tour,” Knight told Radio.com, explaining how their fan base melded together when they did the NKOTBSB tour. “We figured to do something new and do a new twist for the fans, it would be cool if we did an album together. We had the same musical taste and styles and it made a lot of sense.”

For their debut duo album, Nick & Knight, both agreed they didn’t want to make a big, pop-produced album. Instead, they regard the record as more of an indie release.
“We just let ourselves be free. It’s more of a broken down, rhythmic sexy vibe,” Knight said.
The album blends multiple genres, which showcases both Carter and Knight exchanging verses. While the pop songs are there, so are the ballads. Surprisingly, some songs even evoke a hint of R&B, which can be heard on tracks like “Paper.” The song, which details finding a real true love and not someone who cares about celebrity, hits home all too well for Carter and Knight.
“He just got married and it personifies his relationship,” Knight explained. “Even his reality show [I Heart Nick Carter which airs Sept. 10 on VH1] shows what him and his wife go through with him being a celebrity. ‘Paper’ is, that’s what we need. Someone who will love us for us.”

Nick & Knight also opened up about the term “boy band” and how they never grew fond of the description, but now accept it.
“When I came out with a solo album in 1999 I would always get asked, ‘How does it feel to be from a boy band?’ I would always get defensive and upset,” Knight said. “Boy band, the term wasn’t used until around that time. I was a little defensive back then. Now, it’s just like whatever. That’s who we are, that’s what we are it’s all good. Yes we are now in man bands, which is a little better. We’re men.”
Terminology aside, Knight likes to think that he and Carter are paving the way for up-and-coming boy bands.
“The world tells [boy bands] ‘You’re only here because you’re cute and you have fun songs.’ We’re proving that that’s not the case,” he said. “There is substance behind our groups. There is talent. There is brains and creativity. I think we’re showing the younger groups that they can have careers beyond being coined a boy band.”
Nick & Knight is out now. Stay tuned for more of our interview with Nick Carter on his VH1 reality show I Heart Nick Carter later this week.
