Review: Backstreet Boys release captivating new studio album ‘DNA’ (Includes first-hand account)

Their new CD opens with their catchy radio single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which instantly lures the listeners in this collection. It is followed by the crisp and smooth “Nobody Else,” and they showcase their glorious harmonies on “Breathe,” which is utterly fantastic.

They pick up the pace with the mid-tempo “New Love” and they will make their audience clap along with them on “Passionate,” prior to soothing them with “Is It Just Me.”

In addition, their songs “Chances” and “No Place” stand out by a mile, for all the right reasons. “No Place” is warm, nostalgic and heartfelt.

After the sultry “The Way It Was,” their album closes with the mid-tempo “Just Like You Like It,” and on an optimistic note with ”
Ok.”

On January 26, 2019, as Digital Journal reported, the Backstreet Boys hosted a listening party of their DNA album at 95.5 PLJ’s Hackensack Meridian Health Stage 17 in New York City.

DNA is available on iTunes and on Spotify.

The Verdict

Overall, Backstreet Boys deliver on their new studio effort, DNA. There is something in it for everybody. It is safe to say that the Grammy-nominated group is back stronger than ever, and they are still at the top of their game musically, 25 years into their career. Backstreet Boys age like fine wine. This collection garners an A rating.
