The world's biggest manband, with sales of more than 100million under their belts, called up Moroccan- Swedish producer-songwriter RedOne, real name Nadir Khaya, to give them a new sound. And the first single Straight Through My Heart, released on September 27, is "poppy as hell". Nick Carter told me: "We racked our brains to rediscover who we were. We had to do something different but still familiar. RedOne really wanted to be on our Black & Blue album - he said he studied us, and he's written songs tailor-made for Backstreet Boys." Unlike GaGa's filthy Poker Face, there's nothing sexual on the seventh BSB collection This Is Us, released October 5. Nick chuckled: "Lyrically, it's an album about love, not sex." Such fans of Blighty are the lads - Nick, 29, AJ McLean, 31, Brian Littrell, 34, and Howie Dorough, 35, - they have decided to take their This Is Us tour to the UK before their homeland of America. November 3 will see them descend on Newcastle - but can they rival Take That's mechanical elephant? Nick insisted: "I don't know about that but we've got our own tricks. "We're spending more money and dancing more than ever and have worked really hard to come up with something which our peers can see and say to themselves: 'Wow, that was amazing.' " Nick is still reeling from the death of his pal Michael Jackson. He said: "He was a really great, misunderstood talent." Daily Star

The singer, who has been working with artists including J.C. Chasez and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, told DS that he was nearly finished on the long-awaited record. "I've been making my record for about four years, it's been a lifetime in the making!" he explained. "We finished [the new Backstreet Boys] record about three weeks ago, so now I'm wrapping up on my record. The album will be out in November, the single will be out in September but it won't hit you guys until spring next year." The 31-year-old went on to say that he was "really excited" about the "amazing record" and that he had received the full support from his bandmates. "It's a pretty awesome record and I'm really proud of it," he added. "I wrote the majority of the record along with some amazing writers and it's kind of me introducing me to the world as myself." McLean previously hinted that the album would have a "Southern rock vibe" and promised that fans would be "surprised" by the direction of the record. Digital Spy

Posts: 1006 07/27/2009 10:23 PM	New Interview: AJ By Lara Martin, Entertainment Reporter It seems horribly clichéd and oh-too-easy to revert to the old Backstreet's Back line... but it's true! The '90s heartthrobs-turned-suave foursome are returning with their "best album since Millennium" (their words) and a frankly fantastic lead single straight from the RedOne school of stuck-in-your-head-and-won't-ever-get-out pop anthems (our words). More than a little excited, we called AJ McLean from the group to find out more. 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." How did you come to work with RedOne, who's obviously Lady GaGa's producer? "Well, it was really down to me and Nick because we're friends with a couple of guys who work with RedOne. I kept bringing up GaGa because I have a crush on her, so Nick called the guys we know and finally we got through to Red. Then it sort of fell apart and didn't happen and we lost hope. Then, just when we thought we were done making the record, we got a phone call from our management saying Red had three amazing songs for us. We did them and we got our first single!" Did you have another lead single lined up beforehand then? "We had a few options before we worked with Red, but then we heard 'Straight Through The Heart' and knew it was meant to be. It hits the nail on the head. It's Backstreet Boys. It's dance, it's pop, it's urban, it's current, it's fresh, it's new. We actually had a good problem, which was having five or six options for the single. We made this record hit for hit and we honestly believe it's our best since Millennium." You've worked with Max Martin, your Millennium producer, on the album. Was that a conscious decision to try to recreate your classic sound? "We met with him while we were touring the last record just to see if he was even interested. Obviously he's busy with Pink and Kelly Clarkson and people like that. He sent us a track called 'Bigger' and we loved it - it's like the new 'I Want It That Way'. He's one of the reasons why we've had the hits that we've had." 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!" Some tracks from the album leaked earlier this year. How did you deal with that? "At first we were P.O.ed because we were trying our hardest to keep this record a secret, but it was actually a good thing in the end. It was interesting because we got to see which songs were more popular than others. The ones we thought were better weren't necessarily the ones the fans liked - it was a 50/50 thing, which is good." This is your second album without Kevin. Was it any easier as a four-piece this time around? "Definitely easier. It's been almost four years now. What was a little bit nervewracking is that this record is exactly what Kevin wanted us to do before he left. He heard some of the songs when we were demoing stuff and he loved it. We're still contracted for one more record, so hopefully - maybe - he'll be back for the last one. That would be pretty awesome! Since he left, we've told him the door is always open. He's family." You're touring later this year - what can we expect from the show? "We want a true Backstreet Boys show with lots of cool little gags - not over-the-top, just a well-performed show. We'll be doing a couple of really old songs like 'Get Down' and 'We Got It Going On', but they're going to be remixed which will be pretty cool." Do you still remember the old dance moves? "We do, but we're getting a brand new choreographer so we're going to start from scratch. It's about time we got rid of the hat routine from 'All I Have To Give'! We might do the signature 'Backstreet's Back' move for the fans though, but for most of the songs it's all going to be new. We'll be in dance rehearsals for six weeks which will make for an amazing show!" Speaking of the old routines, what do you think when you look back at some of your earliest videos? "Oh dear God! Some of them we can live without! Not the video, but the wardrobe, which only really made sense in that time and era. Hands down the worst of the worst was 'Quit Playing Games'. We were in the rain with fluorescent shirts showing our pecs and stuff. It was like 'OK? Really? Seriously?!'" Backstreet Boys release 'Straight Through My Heart' on September 29. The album This Is Us follows on October 5. Digital Spy

Set for an October 6(th) release on Jive Records, This Is Us is the seventh studio album from this groundbreaking and chart topping group that redefined the modern musical landscape, ushering in a chapter of pop culture that commandeered the world's radio airwaves, broke music and concert sales records, and launched a new generation of teen idols. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean collaborated with a powerhouse suite of producers and songwriters on This Is Us that included T-Pain, Max Martin, RedOne, Soulshock and Karlin, Jim Jonsin and Claude Kelly. 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. The 11 songs that make up This Is Us are the sounds of four skilled singers with a similar vision, who have dealt with the trials and tribulations that accompany fame at an early age and who came out as one of the most successful groups of all time. From the undeniable dance floor ready lead single, "Straight Through My Heart" (click on link to stream) to the reflective soar of "Bigger," from the hook crazy "Bye Bye Love" to the romantic yearning of "She's A Dream," This Is Us shows remarkable growth as songwriters and continues to give us songs that has made millions smile. "We're really excited to release this new album and know that our fans are excited too. 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," says Carter. Backstreet Boys plan on spending the second half of 2009 and all of 2010 on the road. A European tour has already been announced and a full North American headlining tour will be announced shortly. Tour dates can be found on the group's official website www.backstreetboys.com. 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.

For the album, the guys worked with producer RedOne on the single and hooked up with longtime collaborator and pop mastermind Max Martin. They also worked with T-Pain, and Brian Littrell talked to MTV News about working with the rapper (much) earlier this year. "T-Pain is the hottest thing since sliced bread," he said, adding that the album 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." So in honor of the release, we are counting down our favorite BSB singles of all time. 10: "Incomplete": It's Kevin's last single with the group. And we are forever incomplete. 9: "Larger Than Life": We're just saying Lance Bass may have seen this video and stolen an idea or two. 8: "The Call": Hello? This song rocks! 7: "More Than That": Because we love them more than NSYNC. Yeah, we went there. 6: "I'll Never Break Your Heart": We love any song that showcases Kevin's undeniable ability to talk in a seductive manner. Kevin, we will miss you. 5: "All I Have to Give": I gave them all my mom's money in high school. And they gave me beautiful music. 4: "Shape of my Heart": It just so happens that x-rays of my heart reveal that it's in the shape of A.J. McLean. 3: "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)": Exactly. It's almost like they could tell the future. 2: "As Long as You Love Me": Dear Boys, I still love you. 1: "I Want It That Way": Because we always want it that way ... whatever that means. Honorable Mention goes to "10,000 Promises," and if you don't know this song, you're not a true fan. I'm just saying. MTV
