Los Angeles – Die Boygroup-Zeiten sind für New Kids On The Block endgültig vorbei.

Das sollen ihre Fans auch auf ihrem kommenden Album “10” zu hören bekommen. Sänger Joey McIntyre sagte im Interview mit “Digitalspy”: “Eine Menge der heutigen Popmusik richtet sich an ein jüngeres Publikum oder wird für jüngere Künstler geschrieben. Aber von einer Band, deren Mitglieder alle in den 40ern sind, erwartet man, dass sie über Dinge singen, die bei einem selbst nachhallen. Unser letztes Album war ein wenig urbaner und eher was für Clubs, während dieses eine erwachsenere Stimmung hat.”

Das neue New Kids On The Block-Album “10” kommt hierzulande übrigens am 5. April in den Handel.

“I like the new you,” Donnie Wahlberg croons on “Remix I Like The”, the first single from New Kids on the Block’s, 10.

He could very well be talking about his group’s latest record. 10 feels unequivocally and undeniably “new”. It’s not the work of a pop juggernaut reaching for past glories; it’s the epic vision of five musicians whose feet are firmly planted in the future and are still leading the pack. That’s the most magical and marvelous thing about 10. It’s New Kids On The Block’s best album to date and a 21st century pop milestone.

“We Own Tonight” builds elegantly from orchestral production into a swooping refrain. It’s an a propos opener to the epic to follow. Then, there’s “Remix I Like The”, which stands proudly alongside the Boston quintet’s hottest hits. Joey McIntyre exudes effusive swagger as he delivers each note with the bombast and brilliance of a legend. He and Wahlberg volley back and forth seamlessly as the beat pulsates beneath them.

New Kids On The Block have explained that their new album has a more “mature vibe” than their previous material.

The boyband will release new collection 10 next month and teamed up for the project with production group DK Music, who catered for their older tastes.

“A lot of pop music nowadays is centred to a younger audience or written for younger artists, but for a group who are all in our 40s, you want to be singing about stuff that resonates with you,” Joey McIntyre told Digital Spy.

“I think this music does. Our last album The Block was a little more urban and club-driven, whereas this has a more mature vibe to it.”
