News On New Backtreet Boys Projects
Posted by Mitch Michaels on 07.25.2008



Backstreet Boys Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean are continuing to work on their first solo projects even as the group has started work on its sixth studio album.

Howie says "A.J.'s about done" with his album, while he is "probably close to halfway there." He's been working with Jon Secada and George Noriega on an album Dorough says will explore the Latin roots of his mother's family, which hails from Puerto Rico.

"I've always embraced the Latin rhythms, the Latin sounds, just the music itself," says Dorough. "It's just such a feel-good music, and I've always looked up to people like Jon Secada, Ricky Martin, Enrique (Iglesias), who have done a good crossover."

Dorough describes his album as "kind of Latin-ish, English, Spanglish. It's just a mixture of my American roots in pop music meets my Latin roots. It's gonna be a good, kind of eclectic mixture."

The release date is still unknown for the solo albums. "Obviously Backstreet's always gonna be number one," Dorough says. "It's a matter of timing, when we feel each of us wants our record to come out so that we're not competing with each other or taking time away that we could be working ... as a group."

The group, in fact, has already started working on its follow-up to last year's Unbreakable, recording some new material while on tour in Europe.

"We're looking at getting back into the studio quite quickly," says Dorough. "We want to hopefully have something ready to go or at least be heavily into it by the end of the year and have something out towards the beginning of next year."
