For the first time since Kevin Richardson left the Backstreet Boys in 2006, the group has reunited as a full quintet on their new album, In a World Like This, set for release on July 30th. It’s a big time for the group, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a tour that kicks off stateside on August 2nd in Chicago.
The tour setlists will be full of fan favorites; the group tells Rolling Stone they will play every hit from their last 20 years. However, when it came time to make a new album, the five of them wanted to assert their independence and maturity; they touch on subjects like fatherhood, as four of the band members are parents. The beats and melodies suggest their familiar pop formula in “Show ‘Em What You’re Made Of” and also borrow from the current dance craze on “In Your Arms.”
Members AJ McLean and Howie Dorough were very enthusiastic to talk to Rolling Stone about the trip to London that shaped this record, breaking out old choreography and how A Tribe Called Quest and Metallica helped influence the upcoming BSB documentary.
AJ will appear on the show Best Ink on Oxygen June 5, 2013 at 10pm. The episode is called Full Body of Work.
