 BT - Emotional
Technology
Electronica and trance
music pioneer BT worked with *NSYNC on Pop, the first single from their
Celebrity album. He became friends with the group, and JC returned
the favour by appearing on BT's most recent album Emotional Technology.
JC provided some backing vocals on the first single "Simply Being Loved
(Somnambulist)" and co-wrote and sang lead vocals on "Force of Gravity".
The album was released in the US on 8/5/2003. |

The A track on this set is the Tiesto Remix of "The Force of Gravity"...The
sweet vocals of JC Chasez compliment this track so well, it doesn't sound
like a remix. |

Columbia Daily
Spectator
"Force Of Gravity," with vocals by J.C. Chasez of 'NSYNC (get over it) serves
as a bridge between the rave vibe of the first third of the album, and the
down-tempo middle section: "Gravity" is already destined to become a club
hit, highlighted with sweeping vocals and a good dose of breakbeats. |

Counterculture
Along the way BT ropes in Charmed actress Rose McGowan to verbally spar with
Girls vs. Boys bloke Scott McCloud on the grungy Superfabulous and 'NSync-er
JC Chasez on first single Somnambulist. |

JC Chasez helps propel first single "The Force of Gravity" to exciting

Gurn. net (DJ Tiesto
remix)
Ex-N-Sync member JC Chasez lends a rather sweet vocal to Tiesto's remix of
BT's 'Force Of Gravity' as well - an unusual but pleasing combination. |

i-Vibes
Force of Gravity is something of a more subdued affair - in progressive house
territory featuring a vocalist simply known as JC Chasez. |

Jive Magazine
JC pops up again as the sole vocalist on Emo Tech's next track, "The Force
Of Gravity", as well. With it's Tech Mix-like loud/quiet/loud/quiet dynamics,
BT should have produced this track (and most of this album) in, oh,
1997. |

He's also not forgotten his past, as he (along with JC Chasez of N'SYNC)
throws down the euphoria on "The Force of Gravity." |

Miami New Times
On his fourth full-length, Emotional Technology, the musician/producer plays
host to a number of A-list guests. There's Hollywood sexpot Rose McGowan,
who breathes naughtily over "Superfabulous"; 'N Sync's J.C. Chasez, who pours
his soulful croons into "The Force of Gravity"; and Gang Starr's Guru, who
rhymes smoothly on "Knowledge Of Self." |

Another notable track is “Somnambulist” (which, for the
non-professionals, means ‘sleepwalker’) where JC Chasez’s
androgynous incantations follow BT’s beat – which could pass for
a toned-down version of Daniel Bedingfield’s “Gotta Get Thru
This” – note-by-note to its fruition. |

MusicEmissions
"Force of Gravity" is a track that is a little like something that Underworld
would do. Same type of vocal work (provided by JC Chasez of NSync) that they
have done with voices being faded into the left and right track. |

Popmatters
"The Force of Gravity", for example, turns into an *NSYNC song during its
obligatory epic breakdowns, thanks to the overwrought vocals and sappy lyrics
of guest vocalist -- wait for it, now -- *NSYNC's JC Chasez. |

|
Rolling Stone
"Force of Gravity," featuring 'N Sync's JC Chasez's heavily filtered
vocals, follows the same formula as the hit "Don't Give Up" by British artist
Chicane with Bryan Adams. |

The Star (Malaysia)
There are more
collaborations, most significantly crossing into the pop world with JC Chasez,
the other lead vocalist from US boyband 'N Sync who co-wrote and sings lead
on "The Force of Gravity," although it is one of the few tracks here reminiscent
of some of BT's greatest dance floor anthems such as "Dreaming." |

Street Miami
''Force of Gravity'' (with 'N Sync's JC Chasez) channels the poignant ache
of BT's trance classics like ''Dreaming,'' ''Godspeed'' and ``Mercury and
Solace.'' |

TCPalm.com
'N Sync's JC Chasez rolls through the pulsing rhythms and slapping beats
of "The Force of Gravity" and hitches into the joyful refrain "simply being
love, love, loved/Is more than enough" on the techno-pop "Somnambulist." |
