Despite having sold a staggering 4.5 million albums around the world over the past five years and headlined his very own US tour, this teen terror is still only really best known in the UK as Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's pipsqueak brother.
True, wee Aaron has enjoyed a handful of minor hits in the UK but when you're competing with such homegrown talent as Westlife or Blue, why would our well-scrubbed teens choose to idolise someone who doesn't only sport a sickly, all-American smile but is also their own age?
Happily, Leave It Up To Me is finds Aaron taking a musical step in the right direction, away from such earlier dreadful early singles as Crazy Little Party Girl or Crush On You.
In fact, it kind of sounds like Aaron's been listening to some Lil' Bow Wow or Da Brat, as the pint-sized popster has started bustin' rhymes on the mic! Well, almost. It's rap but not as Snoop Dogg or his ilk would know it!
That said, this sugary specimen is light, frothy and kinda catchy. As Leave It Up To Me is featured on the soundtrack to smash Hollywood flick Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, it may just permeate the noggins of pre-pubescents across the UK, thus really kickstarting Aaron's career on this side of the pond.
