Two new dates were announced today on Nick’s official site for his Canadian solo tour.

November 3, 2011 – Toronto, ON, Canada – Mississauga Living Arts Centre
November 4, 2011 – Belleville, ON, Canada – The Empire Theatre

We got the chance to ask Nick Carter a few questions about his solo album I’m Taking Off, working with Canadian Shawn Desman, and how it feels to finally be out on his own.

iVillage: What’s been the best thing about doing a solo album vs. working with a large group?
Nick Carter: In a band you have to play as a team and sometimes sacrifice your own wants and needs for the better of the group. This can be fun though since you do not have to bear the entire responsibility if something goes bad like a wrong single choice or bad wardrobe [laughing].

Being solo is just the opposite. I have to make all the choices and I have no one to blame but myself. It’s fun though because you can bring those good and bad experiences back to the group and share them. Basically one can help the other.

Nick Carter overcomes personal demons to release “I’m Taking Off”.

Nick Carter has thousands of fans who adore him, but that doesn’t mean a Backstreet Boy can’t have insecurities. The youngest member of the world’s No. 1 selling boy band, now 31, released his first solo album, “Now or Never,” in 2002, but took until this year to release the follow-up, “I’m Taking Off.”

It is a contemporary beat-driven pop album featuring the club joint “Burning Up,” smoother ballad “So Far Away” and a special Canada-only contribution, the synth-laden dance-pop single, “Love Can’t Wait,” co-written with Canadians Shawn Desman and Tebey (Desman also produced it). In Japan, where the album came out in February, the single was the more wistful “Just One Kiss.”

“I had my hands in everything,” says Carter from choosing the photographer to do the album art to shooting the video for “Just One Kiss” himself and selecting the video treatment for “Love Can’t Wait.”

Who wants Nick Carter’s dirty shoes? How about his dirty shoes signed by every member of the Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block? The recent NKOTBSB tour of arenas and stadiums prove there are still thousands of fans who would. Now, add to that a charitable angle and that’s some good dirt.

The Backstreet Boy has come up with a great way to preserve his prized sneakers and continue to help raise awareness about the destruction that mankind is reaping on the environment. And it just might lead to a permanent non-profit, Nick’s Dirty Kicks, somewhere down the road. But for now, it’s all about a pair of used shoes.

During a recent stop in Toronto to promote his solo album, I’m Taking Off, Carter told Samaritanmag that he just came up with the idea the other day.
