The Down Under dates will wrap in time for the band’s 30 th anniversary in April. After taking their “DNA World Tour”back to the U.K., Europe and South America, the group are hoping third time’s the charm for their New Zealand and Australian run, which was twice postponed amid Covid-19 and will commence in February. The Backstreet Boys action won’t stop there. He also plans to write more songs in the vein of recent Jimmie Allen collaboration, “Easy.” I’m over-the-moon and proud of this entire record.”Ĭarter also has solo music cooking, having recorded an unreleased track “Good Times” with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Krayzie Bone. “I’ve got a great team of writers and an amazing producer. “I’m in the right place and writing these songs was effortless,” continues McLean.
Now, I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, look the best I’ve ever looked and sound the best I’ve ever sounded.” I was still learning who I was, coming off of being sober for the first time and trying to find my way. “’Have It All’ was a great album, but every song sounds like a Backstreet record,” says McLean.

Meanwhile, aside from the “ DNA World Tour” and “A Very Backstreet Christmas,” McLean is preparing to release “Electric,” from his forthcoming solo album, “Sex and Bodies.” He premiered the project’s first single, “Smoke,” on Variety, alongside a raunchy video directed by longtime friend and collaborator Rene Elizondo.ĭescribing “Sex and Bodies” as soulful, funk and R&B, McLean worked with Killa B plus Edwin Honoret and Brandon Arreaga of boy band PrettyMuch on what marks his first solo album in 12 years (following 2010’s “Have It All”). “We’re fans of his and he’s fans of ours and that’s great.” “It was two types of musicians, different styles and different generations coming together, showing appreciation for each other and proving that the boundaries of music aren’t what they used to be,” offers Carter. Reflecting on the show-stopping moment, Carter says it illustrated how music has no boundaries. Days later, McLean teased a possible collaboration with the rapper to Variety, saying “there are now conversations being had.” Of course, it was another musician who stole the show during one of the group’s recent concerts - Drake, who helped perform “I Want It That Way” in Toronto. The act is currently opening the “DNA World Tour ,” with a lineup including Aaron Space, DJ Lux and Canadian singer-songwriter Francesco Yates – best known for 2015 Robin Schulz collab “Sugar,” which recently reached 1 billion Spotify streams. McLean also has an EDM side project ATCK (All the Cool Kids) with DJ Lux, which features rotating musicians including *NYSNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick. JC Chasez has meanwhile written tracks for both McLean and the Backstreet Boys. McLean and Carter teamed up with *NSYNC’s Lance Bass and Joey Fatone for a 2021 Pride Month event dubbed “Back-Sync,” then McLean, Carter, Fatone and Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris headlined “ The After Party” in Las Vegas. Taking inspiration from Timberlake isn’t too shocking given the various projects members of the two boy bands have embarked on in recent years. My wife’s like, ‘This will be on repeat in our house.’ She starts playing Christmas music in July.”
It’s the best we’ve sounded as a group in years. “It’s very mature and the vocals sound incredible. “This is Backstreet in its truest form,” McLean continues.
“We never mention Christmas in that one, so it could also be for New Year’s, a party or anything.” “With another one of the new songs, we wanted something that was Marvin Gaye/Otis Redding old-school vibes,” McLean said. The record sees them covering classics they loved during their childhoods, like “White Christmas,” and “Winter Wonderland,” alongside the new tracks, “Christmas in New York,” “Together,” and “Happy Days.” The group, which is are currently on their “ DNA World Tour,”also worked with musicians including Beck’s father, David Campbell, who conducted “incredible” string arrangements. McLean and Carter cowrote the new tracks with Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell. It was like, ‘Let’s put some positive stuff out there,’ so we wrote ‘Happy Days.’” Especially with the way the world is right now. Justin wrote a really great song and we wanted to write a happy, uplifting song that had the same feel.

“He wanted that really happy, funky vibe.”Īdds Carter: “It’s funny because there’s all this stuff about Backstreet versus *NSYNC, but we’re all about good songs and good movies and ‘Trolls’was a movie we watched a lot with our kids. “Nick would be the first to tell you he really wanted ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!’ to be the inspiration for one song,” McLean says, referring to Timberlake’s 2016 dance smash from the “Trolls” soundtrack.
