Multi-platinum '90s non-threatening boy band Backstreet Boys try their luck with 'Unbreakable'.
Thanks to autotune, Nick Lachey's songwriter and soft lighting, it's like the '90s never ended for the Backstreet Boys. In fact, the only way to tell that the single 'Inconsolable' is a song from 2007 is the conspicuous absence of Zorro look-alike Kevin Richardson.The lack of innovation hasn't stopped Backstreet Boys scoring chart positions, even nudging top ten in Lithuania. But they'll be hoping for a little more upon the release of 'Unbreakable', their sixth album, on October 30. The only time they sold less than ten million copies of an album was their 2005 comeback album 'Never Gone'. 'Inconsolable' has been their worst US charting single ever.
Things aren't looking too promising, with a mostly inactive website and a myspace launched in August this year that features less than 12,000 fans worldwide, less than unsigned Californian tween Jessica Lombard.
