Backstreet Boys This Is Us They Are Back And Better Than Ever

The Backstreet Boys were put together back in 1993, by Lou Pearlman, when boy bands were all the rage and heard non stop on every radio station. Back then the band consisted of five talented members Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, who stole the hearts of teenage girls. In 2006 Richardson had left the group, with the hopes up starting a family; however his fellow band members still believe that he will make a comeback debut sometime in the future.

The Backstreet Boys (or should we say men) have a new album called This Is Us, which is set for European release on October 5th on RCA Records and for release in the US on October 6th on Jive Records. Said to be perhaps their best album ever this their seventh studio album and their second since losing band member Kevin Richardson, who is on a hiatus to begin a family shows great promise.

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.
