Backstreet Boys turn to hitmaker behind Lady Gaga for new album
July 26th, 2009 - 4:36 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, July 26 (ANI): Backstreet Boys have collaborated with the hitmaker behind Lady GaGa for their new album.
The group team-up with Moroccan- Swedish producer-songwriter RedOne after struggling to find direction when they started work on their seventh studio disc This Is Us.
RedOne, real name Nadir Khaya, worked on a number of songs for GaGa’s debut album The Fame, including the chart-topping singles ‘Just Dance’ and ‘Poker Face’.
However, the boy band insists that they aren’t following in the footsteps of Lady Gaga for their new material.
“We racked our brains to rediscover who we were. We had to do something really different but still familiar. RedOne really wanted to be on our Black & Blue album - he said he’d studied us, and he’s written songs tailor-made for the Backstreet Boys,” the Daily Star quoted band member Nick Carter as saying.
Playing down comparisons to GaGa, he added: “Lyrically, it’s an album about love, not sex.”
‘This Is Us’ will be released on October 5. (ANI)
