Blowin' Me Up (Drumline Soundtrack)

JC's first solo offering was "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" - the single from the Drumline soundtrack, which he co-wrote with producer Dallas Austin. It was released in late 2002. The song reached the top 40 in the US and the video became a TRL staple.

Standout songs include Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love) the solo effort by N'Sync's JC Chasez (a tune that puts fellow boy-bandmate Justin Timberlake to shame)...

The fun, frenetic Blowin' Me Up With Her Love ensures that Justin Timberlake isn't the only N Sync-er finding solo success. While it doesn't indicate that Chasez will replace Timberlake as pop music's top hunk, I actually prefer Blowin' Me Up, with its sense of mischief, to Justin's carefully crafted hits.

Apple/Quick Time News
The soundtrack features the hottest R&B and hip hop songs around, including the solo debut from *NSYNC's JC Chasez, "Blowin' Me Up (with Her Love)."

Dawn
While Blowin’ Me Up won’t break any records, it’s surprisingly pleasant and brings to the spotlight a man who has hitherto been little known to the public.

Gaycontinuum.net
This track has more feeling and soul than Justin's first two singles although at times the adlibs and oversinging can bog the track down.

Launch
Case in point is the most eagerly-awaited song, the maiden solo voyage of NSYNC's JC Chasez: "Blowing Me Up With Her Love," with the suaveness of a second-generation George Michael, does a better job than Justin Timberlake's recent debut of placing its star into the grown-up mainstream.

Rolling Stone
'NSync's JC Chasez gets marching-band beats, radical tempo changes and tuba farts on the sleazy soul of "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)."

Teen Music
This is a funky slice of pop with a smooth electro-production background supporting a fun little catchy tune that's inoffensive and stylish.

The Situation
The soundtrack goes on with a song by Nsync's JC Chasez - who is obviously trying to follow Justin Timberlake's success in the R&B world.

Urban Voices Online
An explosive performance from JC Chasez on "Blowin’ me Up (With Her Love)". First there was Justin now it’s JC venturing out from N’Sync. Maybe he’ll think about going the solo route as well.

The track that is sure to surprise listeners and filmgoers alike is the breakout work he does with NSync's J.C. Chasez on "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)." Has Chasez ever sounded this funky or this, gasp, grown up? Easily not, but in the hands of a virtuoso like Austin, he soars easily above his boy band roots and, indeed, sounds destined for a bright solo future.

"Blowin'" ups the ante with more elaborate choreography and a guest-starring appearance from actress Tara Reid. The tune from the ‘N Sync singer gone solo seems listenable but comes across like warmed-over Prince.

DVDtalk.com (DVD review)
There's also "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" by N'Sync's J.C. Chasez (4:30), which features the hopelessly predictable combination of Tara Reid, a camel, and a monster truck.

DVDfile.com (DVD review)
Rounding out the package are two music videos ("I Want a Girl Like You" by Joe, featuring Jadakiss, and the completely incomprehensible "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" by JC Chasez ), and an Antwone Fisher theatrical trailer. Alas, there is no Drumline spot.
