NKOTB announces first album in 11 years — here are the details

The classic 1980s-1990s boy band announced on March 5 that it's gearing up to release its first full-length studio album in 11 years,"Still Kids," which arrives on the BMG music label on May 17.

The upbeat song features alternating vocals from the band's members — Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. Its catchy harmony-drenched chorus finds the NKOTB guys, now all in their 50s, feeling as youthful as ever. The band’s members will stop by “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on March 8 for a NKOTB episode takeover featuring a world-premiere performance of “Kids.”A press release explains the new album's 14 songs"channel the New Kids’ beginnings, even as it pushes them into new territory as songwriters and as a band."

McIntyre, who co-wrote six of the tracks on"Still Kids" with songwriter and producer Sean Thomas, echoed Wahlberg's sentiments. “It says a lot about any band to make a record that has energy and passion and lightness and fun and depth — after almost 40 years together? It’s crazy," he said.
