Credo sia il miglior articolo in assoluto mai scritto sui Boys!

A lot of names are thrown out there, worldwide, in regards to who the “original” boy band was: New Edition, New Kids on the Block, Take That, and Boyzone. Hopefully, with their seventh studio album (worldwide) the BackStreet Boys can finally show who the real pioneers are.

A lot of other groups have reunited for hyped-marketed tours and merchandise, and outside of Take That’s success (two #1 albums in the UK since their breakup in the mid-nineties), no other has really achieved what they had done before nor stamped pop culture as BSB has. The funny thing about this whole reunion business is that these boys haven’t stopped since they got together back in 1993.

How would you describe 'Straight Through The Heart', the new single?
"I'd use two words - Backstreet Boys. Obviously we've worked with a current producer so it's got an updated sound, but the one thing that we were very adamant about, after hearing feedback from fans, was that we wanted to go back to being us. There was a formula that worked for us and this is exactly that."

Would you say 'Straight Through My Heart' is reflective of the rest of the album?
"It was actually the icing on the cake. We went into this album wanting to do pop and R&B, which is what we're known for, but we really pushed to have more uptempo songs so we could bring them to the live shows. My favourite song on the record is called 'PDA', which we did with Kevin Borg, who's the Black Eyed Peas' musical director. It's pretty awesome - definitely a club record. Before we got with RedOne, it was looking like the first single, so for all we know it could be the second!"
