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.”

New Kids on the Block haben sich wieder zusammengefunden und bringen ein neues Album raus.

Ende der 80iger und Anfang der 90iger Jahre waren diese fünf Jungs ein echtes Pop-Phänomen. Heute gelten Jonathan, Jordan, Joey, Donnie und Danny als der Boyband-Prototyp. Sie waren sozusagen wegweisend für den Erfolg von Gruppen wie den Backstreet Boys oder Take That.
