In a World Like This is the eighth studio album (seventh in the US) by the Backstreet Boys. It was released on July 30, 2013, through the group's own K-BAHN record label,[2] under license to BMG Rights Management, and distributed by RED Distribution. Although it serves as the follow-up to This Is Us (2009), it is the first album since Never Gone (2005) to feature Kevin Richardson, who left the group in 2006 and rejoined in 2012. It was also their first independent album since leaving their old label Jive Records in 2010. The album debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, making the Backstreet Boys the first act since Sade to have nine US top 10 albums and the only boy band to do so.

On May 20, 2013, the group released "Permanent Stain" as a promotional single, which was co-written by band member Nick Carter. A free song download was offered with a ticket for their In a World Like This Tour.[3] The first single from the album, also titled "In a World Like This" premiered on Z100 New York on June 18, 2013[4] and was released on June 25, 2013.[5]

Background and recording

[edit]

On May 25, 2010, Backstreet Boys, still a quartet without Kevin Richardson at the time, left their long-time label, Jive Records.[6] The group then was looking to sign with Interscope Records, but the members couldn't agree on whether to take a one-album deal or a three-album deal. In June 2010, Nick Carter revealed that they had started working on new material for the next album,[7] and Brian Littrell said in a separate interview that they were planning to release the album in early 2011.[8] However, in late 2010 they teamed up with New Kids On The Block for a joint tour called NKOTBSB, planned for 2011, so they had to push back the release of the album as they had to find time to work on the album in between tour dates. In March 2011, during a press conference in Vietnam, the band stated that for the first time, they had complete creative control because they were no longer with Jive.[9][10]

This is the Backstreet Boys' first album with Kevin Richardson back in the group since their 2005 album Never Gone.

In November 2011, after the US leg of the NKOTBSB tour ended, Carter said in an interview that they hoped to get a single out in the spring of 2012 and the album in the summer of 2012.[11] However, Carter's sister Leslie's unexpected death at the end of January 2012 made the group once again postpone the recording until the end of February 2012 to give him time to cope with his loss. Howie Dorough stated later that month that they would not rush the album and would try to release it in 2012 or 2013 at the latest.[12]

In April 2012, a week before the European leg of the NKOTBSB tour started, the group, along with original member Kevin Richardson, went to London to meet with producer Martin Terefe and to write some songs.[13] On April 29, 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently[14] and in July 2012, all five members moved into a house together all by themselves in London to work on the new album.[15] Besides Terefe, they also wrote songs with Sacha Skarbek and Craig David while in London,[16][17] and in the US they worked with Morgan Taylor Reid, Mika Guillory, GoodWill & MGI,[18] Lucas Hilbert, Geo Slam, and Porcelain Black.[19][20] On July 27, 2012, the group held a lottery for fans to win a chance to hear rough mixes of their new album at their studio in London.[21][22]

On April 20, 2013, during their 20th-anniversary celebration event, the group previewed eight new songs, "Soldier," "In Your Arms," "Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)," "Trust Me," "Permanent Stain," "Hot, Hot, Hot," "Try," and "Breathe".[23] The following day, they posted a video containing the previews of six of the new songs on their YouTube channel. On May 15, 2013, the group performed a song from the new album, "Permanent Stain," for the very first time on Good Morning America. On GMA, they also announced that the purchase of each ticket for their In a World Like This Tour would include a free download of "Permanent Stain." They released a lyric video of the song on their YouTube Channel the following day.[3]

Writing and musical style

[edit]

In July 2012, Richardson stated in an interview that the album would be authentic and personal and that they hoped Terefe would produce the entire record.[13] They also wrote a lot on it, and many songs were based on their own life experiences.[24] Carter said that the band didn't want to make a traditional boy band album and record songs that they didn't write themselves.[25] Richardson also revealed that he wrote a song about his son. "We want it to be a personal album about what's happening in our lives now. A.J. is getting ready to be a father. Howie, Brian, and myself are fathers already. So we’re just trying to make it a personal record."[26]

In an interview with Clizbeats, Carter talked about reinvention and drastic changes, and he said that he didn't feel that the group was at that point anymore.[27] The album itself is a mixture of modern pop, adult contemporary, and dance music, with a hint of singer/songwriter genre as demonstrated on "Try," "Madeleine," and "Trust Me."[28]

In a World Like This received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 60, which indicates "mixed or average reviews," based on 11 reviews.[46]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic found it "far more interesting" sonically than the two last albums and stated, "In a World Like This is a surprisingly mature and fine record from a former boy band that seems unafraid to act its age."[47] MUZU.TV's Pip Ellwood opined that In a World Like This finds the Backstreet Boys continuing to mature with their sound. The album's title track sees the group working again with long-time collaborator Max Martin. The track keeps the Backstreet Boys’ sensibilities, allowing their strong harmonies to come to the fore on the chorus and giving each member vocal parts. Musically, the song is an acoustic-driven mid-tempo number that is as recognizable as them but different from anything they’ve done before.[48]

In a mixed review, Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian opined that "their last record, released 2009, recreated the dance-pop of their golden era; this time, perhaps goaded by fear of looking foolish, they've abandoned the beats for mid-tempo adult pop."[39]
