For more than 16 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the very finest pop music has to offer â€" tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies. The new "THIS IS US" showcases their preeminent pop mastery with a collection of indelible tracks that surely rank among their biggest and best hits. After mastering an organic, more adult contemporary flavor on 2005's "NEVER GONE" and 2007's "UNBREAKABLE," the new album sees Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and AJ McLean revisiting the groundbreaking dance-pop sound that first made them international superstars. Songs like "PDA" "Bye Bye Love," and the RedOne-produced first single, "Straight Through My Heart" are classic BSB, bursting with big hooks, unforgettable melodies, and high-energy rhythms that both highlights the group's classic sound and vision while also placing it squarely in the here and now.

"This record here," says Howie Dorough, "we reached back into what made us who we are â€" that's great pop melodies, great harmonies â€" and made it current and relevant."

"We made a conscious effort to go back to being ourselves," notes Brian Littrell. "It's important for the fans to remember what was, but it's also important for them to know where we're headed."

One of the most successful groups in music history, with countless #1s, record-setting tours, and worldwide sales in excess of 100 million, Backstreet Boys are also among pop's most influential. Turn on the radio and you're certain to hear massive melodies melded with Eurodance grooves, a modern pop style inextricably rooted in the group's innovative approach.

"When we first started," says AJ McLean, "the Euro sound wasn't really happening yet, but it led to Britney and 'N Sync and all those other people that came after us. Now music is going back in that same direction, with great pop songs that are just as rhythmic as they are melodic. That's what and who we are."

The "THIS IS US" sessions kicked off in April 2008, while the group â€" a quartet since 2006, when founding member Kevin Richardson left to start a family â€" was still in the midst of the "UNBREAKABLE" world tour. Backstreet Boys took a short pause in the itinerary and teamed with producer Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic fame) in a Manchester, England studio to record what would become the album's closing track, "Undone." The Boys were fighting fit from having been on the road and as a result, the song crackles with the same electricity the group puts out on stage every night.

"This was the very first time we were recording while we were touring another record," Littrell says. "We've always taken a year or so off to really get out of touring mode, but this time we wanted to try and get that energy from our live show onto the record."

Almost immediately upon the tour's conclusion, Backstreet Boys resumed recording at L.A.'s Conway Studios â€" "one of the most chill places to record," according to McLean. To truly put their own creative stamp on the album, the group personally reached out to some of their very favorite producers and songwriters, just about all of whom were thrilled for the chance to work with the Boys.]]></description>
