Why the Backstreet Boys are now better than ever
These are among the best shows the band has ever put on, and with good reason–they’re thriving personally.
Speaking to me in 2018, AJ McClean said, “We’re all married. We have children. The dynamic is much closer now,” McLean said. “We all have one common factor, which is being parents, being husbands.
Before, when two of us were married, or one of us had a kid, and the rest of us didn’t, it was hard to empathize with wanting to have more time off or wanting to have your family with you on the road. Now it is pretty much Daddy Day Care, and we love it. We have a newfound respect for each other.”
As they grow closer to one another, they have also grown closer to their music, much more involved than they once were.
“The whole music industry has changed so drastically; we’ve gotten better as writers, we’ve gotten better as producers,” McLean said. “We’re definitely a lot more hands on now with the creative process. (Earlier), everything was handed to us: ‘Here’s the song you’re going to do. Here’s your producer. Cut it.’ It’s more fun now.”
