| It is now basically confirmed that "Dirty Little Secrets" is one of the singles on the next album and that BSB will be doing a duet with Shakira. Barry Weiss of Jive Records had the following to say: "When A.J. sent me the demo disc, it has two tracks on it, I was expecting two new songs. I popped it in and track one was him explaining what the song meant to him, and then when track two came on, I instantly double checked the package to make sure he didn't give me the wrong disc. It's not a typical Backstreet song. It's techno, dance, R- Anything but 'Pop'. I've talked with each of the Boys and they are aiming at a new style of music. We are looking at putting together a 20 track release, maybe more. They all want to work with different people, so probably look for five guest appearances or maybe even more. Right now we have locked Shakira. No song has been picked...but that should definatly be hot. She is the latin Britney, only hardcore. Totally huge in the Spanish speaking market. We are also tossing around the idea of Maybe Missy Elliot...Lil' Kim." Brian, Nick, Howie and Kevin returned to the studio full time for a week to try and cut four possible tracks for the still untitled new album. At a local charity benefit for Pediatric Aids Brian said: "We get a better sound with all of us being in the studio together. We could each record our parts on our own, but we feed off energy from one another, plus we don't want A.J. to feel left out of the creative process." |
