Backstreet Boys
I know you might assume the Backstreet Boys are a cheesy pop band who belong in the 1990’s along with cycling shorts and the Spice Girls, but crikey; their new single made me go a bit weak at the knees.
Okay, so it sounds a bit like they’ve been hanging out with Basshunter for a little bit, but we can let them off for that as they’ve come back with someone relevant and wonderfully summery to get us through these drizzly days.
Released on September 28th, you might have a little while to wait until you get your hands on it, but I can guarantee that it will be blasting out of Radio One in the coming weeks, and it’s only a nugget of what’s in store from their new album, This Is Us. Set for an October 5th release. *Scream!*
Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean might not look quite a foxy as they did when I was 13, but the end result is an indelible and finely crafted R&B and pop album from four talented musicians who love what they do and who maintain the rare relevance in an industry that often disposes of pop acts.
Over the last 12 years, the Backstreet Boys have sold more than 76 million albums worldwide, have scored a dozen Top 40 hits and charted in the Top Ten in nearly every country making them one of the most successful groups of all time… so if that doesn’t make them awesome, I don’t know what will…
