Supporting breast cancer awareness is pretty much a no-brainer. Who would be against such a thing? It shouldn't come as a surprise that a band with a release in Breast Cancer Awareness Month would do a promotion in support of the cause. The Backstreet Boys (with their new album This Is Us coming out on October 6th) will be at two special events, one in New York on Monday and the other in Los Angeles on Thursday, to raise money. Both take place at Hard Rock Cafes (Times Square and 1000 Universal Studios Blvd, respectively). For only $120 [...]
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Jamaican music legend Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson, half of the iconic production team of Steely and Clevie, died Wednesday morning of heart failure , which was brought on by pneumonia he contracted from kidney complications. Johnson, who was in his early '50s, played keyboards on Bob Marley and the Wailers ' 9th and final album, 'Confrontation', and produced an array of artists from Jimmy Cliff and Dennis Brown to No Doubt and Sean Paul . Johnson started his career as the original [...]

Be sure to check out the new music video from the Backstreet Boys for their song "Straight Through My Heart." As a song being featured on the group's forthcoming album titled THIS IS US (out October 6, 2009), "Straight Through My Heart" is a dance-ready club banger that showcases the guys' high-energy tendencies and skillful moves on the floor. Watch "Straight Through My Heart" video : The [...]

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive The Backstreet Boys are back, again. The boy band is releasing a new album this fall, and it probably will achieve international sales ranking in the millions and spawn several Top 40 hits. But Backstreet Boy AJ McLean , who counts Green Day and Hollywood Undead as some of his current faves, wasn't especially influenced by the boy bands that came before his. "I definitely grew up a 'rock' guy," McLean tells Spinner. "I definitely didn't [...]

5 e 6 ottobre: queste sono le rispettive date di uscita dei nuovi progetti di Shakira e dei Backstreet Boys . In questo post vi mostriamo quelle che dovrebbero essere copertine e tracklist dei nuovi album. Il nuovo disco della star latina porta il nome di "She Wolf" e dovrebbe avere al suo interno 13 tracce (la tracklist dopo il salto). Lei nella copertina appare in posa molto sexy con un "vedo non vedo" alquanto intrigante. Invece l'ultimo lavoro della boyband porterà il titolo di "This Is Us": le canzoni contenute dovrebbero essere [...]

The Backstreet Boys' video for the fantastically throwbacky "Straight Through My Heart" casts the boybanders in the role of do-goody vampires, protecting loft parties from women who look like they wandered in from a Cat People remake but who are actually creatures of the night themselves. The question that lingers, of course, is: Who would book the Backstreet Boys at a sweaty, fire-code-violating loft party... and can I maybe get on their guest list? Clip after the jump! Of course, when I think of "Backstreet Boys" and [...]
Dopo avervi mostrato l' anteprima del video di " Straight Trough My Heart (Soldier Down) ", nuovo singolo dei Backstreet Boys , adesso siamo in grado di presentarvi la clip definitiva. I ragazzi sembrano ringiovaniti: riescono perfino a ballare ancora nonostante la loro "veneranda" età...o forse sarà stata colpa degli effetti "benefici" del morso della vampira?
Let's go to a gritty club and be edgy, shall we?
In questo post vi presentiamo un'anteprima (backstage) del nuovo video dei Backstreet Boys girato per il nuovo singolo " Straight Through My Heart (Soldier Down )". A quanto pare i ragazzi sono ritornati adolescenti: l'impronta "teen" non è solo data dalla "svolta" (se così si può chiamare) musicale ma anche dalle coreografie e dall'immagine a cui i ragazzi si rifanno (elementi, ovviamente, rinvenibili in questa preview). Inoltre quei denti finti da "vampiro" che vengono mostrati nei dietro le quinte fanno venire in mente il primissimo video della boy band " Everybody (Backstreet's Back [...]

Backstreet Boys - Straight Through My Heart So, Backstreet Boys are releasing another album after the failure of 'Unbreakable'. When we received their new single ' Straight Through My Heart ' we weren't that bothered. However the lead single from their new album 'This Is Us' (out October 5th), is quite different from their previous stuff, in that it's actually danceable. We like the new single, we are getting a bit complacent of the RedOne sound, and this track reminds us a bit too much of Enrique Iglesias' 'Taking Back My Love' [...]
I have a love/hate relationship with cover songs. There are some that are as good if not better than the originals, i.e. "All Along the Watchtower" by Hendrix (Originally by Bob Dylan), but then again there are those that fall flat, i.e. "Downtown Train" by Rod Stewart (Originally by Tom Waits). So it's kind of a crap shoot on what you're gonna get. There are a million covers that everyone has heard so I decided to compile a list of songs that, while well known, are not always covered. It is quite something for an artist to do [...]

"Straight Through My Heart (Soldier Down)" è il nuovo singolo dei Backstreet Boys (prodotto da Redone ) che anticipa l'uscita del nuovo album "This Is Us", in uscita in Italia il prossimo 2 ottobre. La canzone riporta i quattro ragazzi indietro nel tempo in un genere di pop molto "adolescenziale" (quello che ultimamente ascoltiamo molto spesso) che ci fa rimpiangere l'evoluzione musicalmente matura che la band negli ultimi anni aveva avuto. Insomma: il passo indietro, qualitativamente parlando, è stato fatto e molto probabilmente ciò segnerà il capolinea per la carriera di questa gruppo il quale [...]

Backstreet Boys gear up for new album, 'This Is Us' Set for an October 6th release Backstreet Boys are very proud to announce the release of their new album, 'This Is Us' . Set for an October 6, 2009 release on Jive Records, 'This Is Us' is the seventh studio album from this groundbreaking and chart topping group that redefined the modern musical landscape, ushering in a chapter of pop culture that commandeered the world's radio airwaves, broke [...]

Hey, can someone check the calendar for me? Is it April Fool's Day, or am I about to legitimately be excited for the new release of a guilty pleasure? The Backstreet Boy are indeed back with a new album, This Is Us , which will be released by Jive Records on October 6. The four boys (Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006) will be collaborating with the likes of T-Pain, Max Martin, RedOne, Soulshock and Karlin, Jim Jonsin and Claude Kelly. The boys have yet to announce US tour dates in support of the [...]
Boy-band lifers the Backstreet Boys have yet another comeback single up their sleeves, the Red One-produced, lengthily titled "Straight Through My Heart (Soldier Down)." With synths lifted from Real Life's 1983 hit "Send Me An Angel," a strident beat, and a vague similarity to the Boys' own "Shape Of My Heart," this song is definitely built to bring them into the mold of current retrograde synthpop. I can't stop listening to it! And not because of some weird tech problem, either. Clip after the jump. [...]
![Throwback Thursdays [90s Love Songs Mix]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1876879_lg.jpg)
90s love songs were either really good, really corny or just really terrible. At that age, I didn't get what the songs really meant. But back then, I thought girls had "cooties" and that they "drooled" more than they "ruled." Anyway, check out the mix: MP3 :: The Cardigans - Lovefool MP3 :: Mr. Big - To Be With You MP3 :: The Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me MP3 :: Oasis - Wonderwall MP3 [...]

Il magazine " People " ha stilato la classifica dei 20 Migliori Show Live dell'ultimo periodo: a dominare è la fantastica Christina Aguilera la quale detiene lo scettro di voce più spettacolare dei cantanti dell'ultima generazione. Il suo "Back To Basics Tour" è stato decretato il migliore sbaragliando la concorrenza di artisti quali Madonna (questa sera in concerto a Milano ), Beyoncè , Britney Spears , Miley Cyrus e Lady Gaga . Il mix tra bella voce, sfavillanti scenografie e frizzanti coreografie ha permesso a Xtina di riuscire [...]

You can never know for sure how you're going to react to a song. I mean, yes, I would have probably predicted that the Backstreet Boys doing a song kind of like Chris Brown's "Forever" would win me over, but given that when the buzz around the Claude Kelly-penned "Bye Bye Love" started--up-tempo, possible single contender--I had hopes of a Backstreet song like "The Call" or "Get Another Boyfriend" (admittedly probably misplaced hope, but they're the songs I think of when I think of backstreet doing full-on uptempo well), the considerably gentler actual result could have felt like a [...]

La settimana scorsa vi avevamo proposto la lista degli album peggiori degli ultimi nove anni e mezzo. Oggi invece vi proponiamo la lista dei peggiori album degli anni '90. Ancora una volta il ranking è quello del sito/community RateYourMusic , che come vi abbiamo spiegato la volta scorsa, difficilmente sbaglia. Un po' come IMDb per quanto riguarda il cinema: magari si può essere poco d'accordo sul voto preciso ma è difficile trovare valutazioni completamente non condivisibili, un film bello nel 99% dei casi ha un bel voto, un film brutto nel 99% dei [...]
