If you are dying to find out what the Backstreet Boys have been up to
since their last album, here is something to whet your curiosity.
First of all, stop the speculation that they are breaking up. The
truth is, they are going solo with their music nowadays. Four of the
five members of Backstreet Boys are now recording their solo LPs,
which would imply that they won't be releasing a new album as a group
anytime soon. However, the 'boys' have announced that they have no
plans to quit the group just yet.
"It's important to point out that the group has not disbanded," Brian
Littrell's attorney Jordan Keller assured the music fans. "They
certainly intend to record as a group in the future, they just don't
know when."
As you faithful fans probably know, Nick Carter released his first
solo album "Now Or Never" last year. Currently working with his
producer Tommy Lee and co-writing his songs, Nick Carter is showing a
tendency for delving into rock music. A.J. Mclean too, is going in
the rock direction for his solo music.
While Nick and A.J. are indulging in rock, Howie Dorough is exploring
his talents in Latin music. He will be producing his songs in both
English and Spanish. He is currently collaborating with veterans such
as Emilio Estefan and Steven Morales, who are also the producers for
artistes like Enrique Iglesias and Christina Aguilera.
For Brian Littrell, he is hoping to integrate gospel music into his
musical undertaking, giving gospel music a fresh dimension amidst the
pop music today. Brian, who grew up singing in his church, sees this
as his desired direction in his musical path.
"There's a wide range in Christian music," Keller said. "From Michael
W. Smith to choirs, there's a lot of room to work with."
