With a little
more than a month standing between fans and the next Backstreet Boys album,
the Boys are putting the finishing touches on the effort and are also looking
to their sizable fan base for help in marketing it.
Jive Records
confirms that the heartthrobs have lined up the track listing for "Black
& Blue," which is due to arrive on shelves on November 21. Besides
the single "Shape Of My Heart," Backstreet followers should also expect
titles like "Get Another Boyfriend," "I Promise You (With Everything I
Am)," "The Answer To Our Life," and "How Did I Fall In Love With You" when
the CD hits stores.
The group is
also taking a page from the underground promotion handbook and putting
together an online Backstreet Boys street team to get the word out about
the new release. Fans who visit the official Jive Records Web site (at
www.jiverecords.com) are extended an invitation to join what the label
hopes will be a massive online street team. Backstreet devotees who enlist
are promised news updates and gifts as well as additional surprises.
The group recently
unveiled the first video from "Black & Blue," for the ballad "Shape
Of My Heart," and B-Boy A.J. McLean has said that the rest of the album
will boast various influences, from rock and R&B to hip-hop and country
(see "Backstreet's A.J. Dishes On New Record").
The disc will
also find the Boys once again teaming with pop mastermind Max Martin, who
produced the group's first two albums as well as tracks for 'NSYNC and
Britney Spears.
When "Black
& Blue" arrives on November 21, here's what you'll find:
"The Call"
"Shape Of
My Heart"
"Get Another
Boyfriend"
"Shining Star"
"I Promise
You (With Everything I Am)"
"The Answer
To Our Life"
"Everyone"
"More Than
That"
"Time"
"Not For Me"
"Yes I Will"
"It's True"
"How Did I
Fall In Love With You"
