Barry Weiss from Jive has given out some info about the BSB's upcoming album. Naturally nothing is set in stone, but sounds good to me. The fourth and final single off the now record setting ,ten time platinum "Black and
Blue" will be different depending on where you live.
Though final plans have not yet been made on which single will be released in what country, you can
count on hearing either "Not For Me" or "Get Another
Boyfriend" on your local pop radio station, and of course a new video to keep Nsync running for their
money on Total Request Live (at least here in the
states).
As of Tuesday, July 24th, Backstreet Boys have completed only one song for their up coming fourth US album, which was penned by none other than Aj McLean. Aj entering rehab for personal problems put a damperon the band's returning
to the studio full time for a week to try and cut four possible tracks for the still untitled fourth album. "We get a better sound with all of us being in the
studio together", stated Littrell last Thursday at a
local charity benefit for Pediatric Aids. "We could each record our parts on our own, but we feed
off energy from one another, plus we don't want Aj to feel left out of the creative process." The new album street date for the US as of now is 4/20, of course this is only if recording goes according to plan.

The track finished a week prior to July 4th was writen by AJ and produced by BT (Nsync- "POP", Britney- "Take Me Home") has been titled "Dirty Little Secrets". Barry Weiss (Jive Records exec.) recently talked to MTV ASIA about
the song, and the new Backstreet Project. "You know how they say, You can't judge a book by it's cover? In this case you can't judge the song by it's
title. When Aj 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&B- Anything
but 'Pop'. I've talked with each of the Boys and they are aiming at a new style of music. They are
dealing with a lot of new things at this point.
Brian and Kevin are married, Nick is dealing with personal issues,and of course AJ is too. We are looking at
putting together a 20 track release, maybe more.

They are wanting to callaborate like there is no tomorrow. 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, you know where I'm going with this." We've also been
told there might be a cameo appearance by one of the ex-girlfriends. Shaping up to be one "BAD" *** album (get it?).

Oops!...We didn't say that!
