This Is Us (Backstreet Boys album)
This Is Us is the name of the seventh studio album from American Grammy-nominated international pop boy band Backstreet Boys. It will be their second album since becoming a four-piece band and is due for release on September 30, 2009 in Japan through Sony Music, October 5, 2009 in the UK through RCA, and October 6 in the US through Jive Records.
On the album the group have reunited with previous collaborator and producer Max Martin (responsible for the previous hit "I Want it That Way") to try and create their "best record since their 1999 worldwide smash hit album Millennium. They have reportedly worked with Ryan Tedder, Dr. Luke, Claude Kelly, Jim Jonsin and T-Pain for the album as well.
They have also worked with award-winning producer/songwriter RedOne, who was behind the number one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. RedOne produced the album's lead single "Straight Through My Heart". The music video has followed a vampire theme and has been premiered on US Weekly on August 27, 2009.
Conception and production
In an interview with Extra TV, the group confirmed the title of their seventh album to be This Is Us. In the official press release RCA/Jive Records describes the album as "a finely crafted R&B and pop album from four talented musicians who love what they do and who maintain the rare relevance in an industry that often disposes of pop acts. The 11 songs that make up album are the sounds of four skilled singers with a similar vision, who have dealt with the trials and tribulations that accompany fame at an early age and who came out as one of the most successful groups of all time. It shows remarkable growth as songwriters and continues to give us songs that has made millions smile."
On May 1, 2009, the Backstreet Boys management team expressed discontent at the fact that four recorded songs had been leaked on the internet. In an interview, AJ McLean said that the group were "P.O.ed that music had leaked especially since extra care had been taken to keep the record secret". In the end, however, the group used the feedback from the leaks to help guide the direction of the album and even the song selection by comparing fan reviews to what producers thought about the songs.[5] The album was described by McLean as being a mix of pop and R&B, but including more uptempo songs for live performances and the tour.The first single "Straight Through My Heart" was performed for the first time on August 15, 2009 at the KTU Beatsock in New York City.
Speaking of their collaborations with RedOne, McLean remarked that it had been largely a last minute affair. Due to timing, the group was not able to make any recordings with the in-demand producer; however, near to the album's turn-in date, RedOne revealed that he had worked on three songs for the group and was more than willing to collaborate. It was also revealed that there had previously been 5 or 6 singles in the running for the lead single, although a Kevin Borg production titled "PDA" was most likely to be released; however, the RedOne production felt like "it was meant to be". Like fellow label mates Jordin Sparks, Britney Spears and Ciara the group will simultaniously release the standard and deluxe editions of the album. The deluxe edition (limited first edition in Japan) will feature a DVD of bonus content but unusually no additional bonus songs.
