[新聞] New Kids Eyeing September For Reunio …
With a sold-out tour already on the books, the reunited New Kids On The Block
have penciled in a Sept. 8 release date for a new album, which will be
released by Interscope. The group performed first single "Summertime" during
a May 16 appearance on NBC's "Today."
"I discussed a lot of options with them, but in the end, it made sense to
create a partnership with a label," group manager Jared Paul tells Billboard.
"It makes sense for us to have someone to underwrite six weeks of rehearsal
and loss-leader shows like the 'Today' show; it makes sense to work with
people who have good deals with great songwriters and a strong online and
radio department."
Both the band and the label describe the deal as a "partnership." One source
close to the deal notes that the label will partake in merchandise and
touring revenue.
"We were driven by the music," group member Joey McIntyre tells Billboard of
the decision to reunite. "Donnie [Wahlberg] and I both live in L.A., and we
have had conversations about the offers we've gotten in the past. This time
around, Donnie was the loudest and pushed the hardest in terms of getting
going on the music. His excitement was really infectious."
"Our first goal was always just to make a great album," says Wahlberg. "We
wanted to work with the best, and have a great team in place so we could make
an album that counted."
"Our friends' kids are listening to the tracks, and they are excited," says
group member Jordan Knight. "We don't come across as old guys on the record,
and songs like "Summertime" have a great, '80s vibe that can be enjoyed by
everyone."
