MTV.COM NEWS
大意：Savage Garden的Darren幫新好男孩寫歌 不過這篇裡面還提到不少合作的藝人
底下我只翻一些跟新專輯本身比較相關的消息..
BEVERLY HILLS, California — Backstreet Boys fans determined to find out
details about the group's comeback might have "Incomplete" information.
Since some radio stations began playing a leaked song called "Incomplete"
last month, many have assumed it's the first single from the group's
as-yet-untitled new album, but that may not be the case.
新好男孩上個月從電台流出一首"incomplete"的歌
一般認為這會是他們的新專輯的第一張單曲
但是其實這目前還沒確定（按：其實...已經確定是"incomplete"了XD)
While participating in various Grammy-related events recently, the Backstreet
Boys revealed they are still deciding between "Incomplete," "I Still" and
"Weird World," written by Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik.
"incomplete"、"i still"、"weird world"由Five for fightin的John Ondrasik所寫
Fans will find out March 18, when the single will be officially released to
radio stations. "Whatever it is, it's going to shock you," Nick Carter
promised.
The group finished recording last month and is now narrowing down a list of
43 completed tracks to the 15 or so that'll make the album "It's going to be
a hard process, but I think we have our favorites," Howie Dorough said.
錄新專輯的過程中總共錄了43首歌..大概正式發行的時候會挑出約15首出來
"The [best songs] reveal themselves," Kevin Richardson said. "You just kind
of keep cutting and the cream rises to the top. All we wanted to do on this
record is explore — we recorded some heavy urban R&B tracks, we recorded
some kinda heavy rock tracks, and we kind of found a place in the middle."
The Backstreet Boys worked with Boyz II Men, acappella masters Take 6 and
former Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes, as well as producers the Underdogs,
John Shanks, Billy Mann and veteran teen-pop songsmith Max Martin.
這次新好男孩的合作對象包括Boyz II Men、Acappella團Take 6、
Savage Garden的Darren Hayes、還有節奏藍調製作人 Underdogs（Tyrese）、
民謠/搖滾製作人John Shanks（Michelle Branch、Sheryl Crow）、
流行製作人Billy Mann（Jennifer Lopez） 以及流行樂名作曲家
Max Martin（Britney Spears,'N Sync）
"Max is actually the one that kind of made us shift and turn from going more
urban and R&B more towards the [rock]," A.J. McLean said.
A.J提到作曲家Max讓這張新專輯比較從原來的都會/藍調
轉而傾向帶點搖滾曲風的類型
"Our whole album, we feel like this time, has a more organic sound,"
Richardson added. "We have more live instrumentation than in the past albums.
We're using a lot of sequencers and synthesizers and stuff. I think it's safe
to say it's on a kinda rock/pop/alternative vibe."
Kevin提到這張專輯較往常使用更多的現場演奏以及合成器之類的東西
這張專輯大約是搖滾/流行/另類的感覺
It took the group more than a year to make the album because "we were kind of
lost for a little while," according to Richardson.
"Things were moving so fast," he said. "We have perspective now. We're all in
a great place. A.J. is doing great, two and a half years sober now. Brian's
got a baby boy. The batteries are recharged. We've had a chance to step back
and soak it all in."
Being at the Grammy events, especially at the MusiCares tribute to Brian
Wilson, where they sang "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)"), got the guys extra
stoked about returning to the spotlight.
"We're anxious to get back onstage," McLean said. "[MusiCares] was just a
little taste, and now it's just like, 'God, I wanna get on the road again!' "
While their album is scheduled for a summer release, the Backstreet Boys are
planning a warm-up club tour to kickoff next month. So far three dates have
trickled out: March 24 at the Avalon in Boston, April 1 at the NorVa in
Norfolk, Virginia, and April 2 at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina.
