Nick & Knight is an eponymous collaborative album by American singers Nick Carter and Jordan Knight, under the collective stage name of Nick & Knight. The album was released on September 2, 2014.[1][2] A promotional song, "Just The Two of Us", is available for download with a pre-order of the album.[1] The album's lead single, "One More Time", was released alongside a music video on July 15, 2014. Carter and Knight's respective bands, the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, have previously collaborated on an album entitled NKOTBSB, and also went out on a joint tour between 2011 and 2012 as supergroup NKOTBSB.

Background

In 2011 and 2012 Nick Carter and Jordan Knight performed with their respective bands, Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block as part of the NKOTBSB Tour. During the tour the idea of a collaboration between the two artists came up. Carter said how they explored the idea and eventually it turned into an entire album. According to Knight being part of a group "puts a lot of pressure on the creative process", while the collaboration gave them "a little more freedom to just explore and do something different than what would be expected."[3]

Reception

Jennifer Gerson of The Guardian said of the album; “Nick & Knight showcase a sad, strange take on a certain kind of masculinity, and thus the whole boyband genre: though pretty and well-choreographed, the duo are aggressive and desperate in their attempt to assert their own importance, and assure us that they’re not impotent.”[4]

  • "One More Time" was released as the album's lead single on July 15, 2014.
