Movie Reviews: 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.
Once again the Backstreet Boys have worked together, minus Richardson, to bring us their seventh, and said to be best, album yet. “This Is Us” is scheduled to be released by RCA Records, in the European areas, on October 5th. The United Stated release, by Jive Records, is scheduled for the following day.
Trying to regain some of their lost momentum since their incredible Millennium album hit the charts in 1999 with hits like I Want It That Way and All I Have To Give, they are once again collaborating with producer Max Martin who was responsible for the I Want it That Way hit track.
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.
