Backstreet Boys Are Back - Alright!

By Patrick Daniels

In 1993, the Backstreet Boys were considered to be just another boy bad that Lou Pearlman put together. The group consisted of five talented singers, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell. Although Kevin Richardson has decided to opt out of this album, to start up a family, his band members are still foreseeing a comeback somewhere in this singers future.

Today, the Backstreet Boys have joined forces again, with the exception of Kevin Richardson, to put together their seventh studio album, "This Is Us". "This Is Us" is set for a European release on October 5th, from RCA Records and in the United States it will be released by Jive Records on the 6th of October. It has been said that this is the bands greatest album yet, and fans anxiously wait to see if the hype is true.

The Backstreet Boys have decided to take this album back to where they once were. They want to regain the momentum they had with hits such as "I Want It That Way" and "All I Have to Give"; therefore they have once again teamed up with producer Max Martin, who was the mastermind behind the latter of the two hits.

In addition to collaborating with Max Martin, The Backstreet Boys also recruited help from Red One, producer/songwriter. Red One was able to assist Lady Gag with her hit singles "Poker Face" and "Just Dance", so The Backstreet Boys wanted the same success. Therefore Red One worked with the band and produced the albums lead track, "Straight Through My Heart".

Although The Backstreet Boys have had many failed attempts at solo careers and albums, it is said that "This Is Us" is the album that will put them back on the charts again. With thirteen hits in the top 40 and over 100 million albums sold during their career, it appears that they are due for another hit sometime soon.
