Dorough tells Billboard.com that “A.J.’s about done” with his album, while Dorough is “probably close to halfway there.” He’s been working with Jon Secada and George Noriega (Ricky Martin, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez) on an album Dorough says will explore the Latin roots of his mother’s family, which hails from Puerto Rico.
“I’ve always embraced the Latin rhythms, the Latin sounds, just the music itself,” says Dorough, who even flirted with joining Menudo when he was younger. “It’s just such a feel-good music, and I’ve always looked up to people like Jon Secada, Ricky Martin, Enrique (Iglesias), who have done a good crossover.”
Dorough describes his album as “kind of Latin-ish, English, Spanglish. It’s just a mixture of my American roots in pop music meets my Latin roots. It’s gonna be a good, kind of eclectic mixture.”
Release dates for both his and McLean’s albums are up in the air, however. “Obviously Backstreet’s always gonna be number one,” Dorough says. “It’s a matter of timing, when we feel each of us wants our record to come out so that we’re not competing with each other or taking time away that we could be working … as a group.”
This is great news to everyone’s ears. Backstreet boys have always been great, love all their work. Its fabulous. Great to see they are coming back at large with all of them together. More news of them surely soon. Hold your horses guys, yes they are back!
