[情報] CBS:最後一個男孩團體將出新輯

[Flower07 (1234567)]

Let's just get it over with and say it: "Backstreet's back - alright!"

The last '90s boy band standing is releasing a new album, "Unbreakable" on
Oct. 30. But the boy band label is getting harder to apply to the Backstreet
Boys now that the youngest member, Nick Carter, is a 26-year-old man.

But after suing their former manager, a trip to rehab, an unflattering
reality show and several solo ventures, the group, now minus Kevin
Richardson, is confident that it can stand the test of time. They are banking
on the notion that there is a secret Backstreet fan in all of us.

"I think unfortunately we just got - kind of got categorized...I think there
was a time period where people, like, didn't want to say they liked us,"
Carter said. "I just think you just kind of got to get passed that whole
stage and, you know, maybe people will start coming back around."

So far so good for the real life "man band." Their first single
"Inconsolable" hit No. 34 on the Billboard Charts. It's just another leg in a
journey that started in 1993 when the band was formed by Lou Pearlman, who is
currently awaiting trial on fraud charges and was recently the subject of a
Vanity Fair article which accused him of behaving inappropriately with some
of the young singers he managed.

"I think what has happened over the years - I think we've learned, too, and
also grown. We respect each other," Brian Littrell said. "We genuinely care
for one another."

Richardson left amicably, in order to pursue other opportunities and spend
more time with his family. The remaining four members - Carter, Littrell,
Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean - say Richardson's spot will always be there
for him.

"In his heart he just wasn't feeling going forward with making another record
right now," Dorough said. "Which we all know that, you know, in going into
recording a record, between writing, you know, recording, promoting, touring,
it's pretty much two years of your lives we're giving up."

With that intense commitment in mind, the group took to the studio to record
an album which they said is "classic Backstreet."

"You know, really good harmonies, really great melodies, great lyrical
content - just positive, really good pop songs," McLean said. "I mean, that's
the one thing that we've always strived to be good at, I think we are good
at."

McLean said their last album "Never Gone" lacked the harmonies that were
characteristic of so many of their early hits. The songs didn't lend
themselves to the dancing, another talent the Backstreet Boys are known for.
So this time around, expect a lot of choreography in their performances.

Writer Dan Mukala worked with the band on a majority of songs but one of the
most intriguing collaborations on the album is with a former rival, J.C.
Chasez of 'NSync. He and McLean worked together on "Treat Me Right."

"Obviously he’s coming from another vocal group just like us, so he really
understands the harmonies, the melodies, and the - the complex simplicity is
what he had mentioned to me once while we were in the studio - of what we
do," McLean said. "We told him, hey, if you want to come out for a couple
shows, come on out."

每一個所謂的工作都一樣 每一種解釋都顯的煩人
也許有一種掌聲 讓你可以不必勉強擠出笑容來回報
因為你所做的本身 就值得被世界回報
如果是 就不必在乎這個世界這麼多判斷的其中一種了
