They're back - but no longer boys. The Backstreet Boys have a new single out and are readying their new album, This Is Us. With a new single that brings back memories of the original days of boy bands - sans purity rings - the men of Backstreet are back. "Straight through My Heart" is the first single off the album, a collaboration with producer RedOne along with longtime pop master Max Martin. For the album, the first since Kevin Richardson left the group, the quartet also worked with T-Pain, who Brian Littrell said to MTV News "is the hottest thing since sliced bread."
The album, he notes, is "BSB doing what we did when we started together, when we made a name for ourselves we were a vocal group. There are no boy bands left other than us and we're going back to the vocals. We're going to showcase how well we can sing." Following the October 6th release of the new, 11 track set, the boys will be heading out supporting their new vocal harmonies via an international tour through Spain, Portugal, Singapore, the UK and others, so if you're ready to head overseas for an unforgettable concert, go online where Backstreet Boys tickets are always available!
"We're really excited to release this new album and know that our fans are excited too," Nick Carter said in a press release. "We worked with a group of amazing artists and producers that we've never worked with before, exploring new sounds and territory and know the final product turned out incredible." Fans are already ecstatic about the return of BSB, as little has been heard of the boys since their last hiatus. While a North American tour has yet to be announced, the boy band plans to tour Europe through early December, with North American dates revealed later.
It's been a while since the Backstreet Boys were truly "back" on the scene, though they never really departed from their boy band days. The first "break" appeared in 2000 after seven straight years of touring and promotion and a rather disappointing million seller in Black & Blue, after which Littrell became a father, Richardson worked on Broadway, Carter released a solo album and AJ McLean made gossip headlines for his stint in rehab. Following two more BSB deemed flops via 2005's Never Gone and 2007's Unbreakable, Richardson left the group later that year, leaving speculations that the end of the BSB reign was in the foreground.
Rather, the boys have since returned and are ready to amp up their profiles with what will hopefully become another diamond. "To still be around feels amazing," Howie Dorough says on their website. "So many artists, boy bands and rappers, that started when we did have disbanded. We look at artists like the Eagles, the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith, where everyone has done individual things, but they are still able to come back together. I admire that kind of staying power."
Forming in 1997, the boys' first two albumd, Backstreet Boys and Millennium, each sold more than 10 million copies certifying them Diamond and helping to create a phenomena known as the boy band era. The latter album, released in 1999, went number one in 25 countries and has helped BSB earn a total of more than a dozen top forty hits. "The pop bands of yesteryear that don't exist anymore were centered around one or two central vocalists," Littrell adds.
"What has allowed us to keep going is that we were always a team of well-rounded singers, with a similar vision. We've been through so much together, on equal terms, and that either tears you apart or brings you closer. When we took a break from 2002 to 2005, it was such a blessing to step outside of our own spotlight and focus on the value of something other than being a pop star. We needed to go through that character building in order to maintain respect for what we all have as a group."
