Back in September of ’09, the Backstreet Boys returned with their latest album, This is Us. The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard album chart and has since fallen off, which is unfortunate because the track “Straight Through My Heart” is a fantastic song.

Here’s what the Boys have to say about their album and tour…

Backstreet Boys – “Straight Through My Heart”

Howie Dorough says he’s proud of the record…

“It feels great, you know. We feel we put together a great body of work that really truly represents the Backstreet Boys, with our signature sound, with our pop melodies, our harmonies and a little bit of pop R&B, a little bit of Euro-electric kind of sound. And we feel like it’s one of our best bodies of work to date. It’s very reminiscent of the style of records that people knew back in the day, like the Millennium album, the Black and Blue album.”

And Nick Carter says there’s no place he would rather be than on tour…

“We’re definitely ready, especially to be on tour in the States. You get a chance to be on a bus and just travel the country and see the places that we’ve been traveling since we were… for 17 years… in the very beginning, because that’s where we started, was in the States, and that’s the country that we had to first get our feet on the ground and get our music out there, so touring here is definitely special to us.”

The Backstreet Boys’ This Is Us tour rolls into Broomfield, CO tonight – and the boys will be rolling through NYC on August 26th at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
