This Ain’t No Jive
Is Justin Timberlake going out on a limb forming a new label at Interscope, instead of his recording home Jive, or is Interscope taking the real risk by creating a costly new venture in the face of declining record sales?
…Former *NSync bandmate JC Chasez, who enlisted Timberlake’s production and songwriting skills for several tracks on his forthcoming sophomore album, Kate, points out that Timberlake’s status as an international megastar doesn’t hurt either. ”Obviously, he’s going to bring a lot of heat, because the world is staring at him right now,” Chasez says. ”He brings free press with him wherever he goes.”

Issued on Jonatha Brooke’s homespun Bad Dog Records label and co-produced by the legendary Bob Clearmountain, Careful What You Wish For serves as the culmination of two years of new adventures, including her triumphant 10-night residency in support of Circus at The Anspacher Theater in the Public Theater complex in New York, her solo opening-act duties for singer Joe Cocker’s tour from May to October 2005, and the invite from Jive Records A&R chief Teresa La Barbera-Whites to pen songs for new records by two of her artists, Nick Lachey (from the band 98 Degrees) and J.C. Chasez (from NSYNC).
The latter experience directly impacted the tone for Careful What You Wish For. “Writing for Nick and J.C. gave me the opportunity to get out of my chick headspace and try something new,” says Brooke, who enlisted songwriting help from her old friend and collaborator Eric Bazilian, who co-produced four of the tunes. “I worked on songs written from different personae, trying out characters, though, of course, there’s a part of me in each of the tunes too. And the music really rocked.”
