Backstreet Boys: 'Straight Through My Heart'

It says something about how far the Backstreets' stock has fallen in recent years that they resorted to doing a promotional interview with Kate 'The Apprentice' Walsh for car-crash magazine show Live From Studio Five earlier this week. Watching Brian, Nick, Howie and AJ deal with the reality star's fits of giggles while approximately five hardcore fans stood waving banners made a rather depressing sight.

Fortunately, though the glitz and glamour may have faded somewhat, musically they appear to be undergoing a renaissance. If this RedOne-produced single is a fair representation, then their upcoming album may live up its billing as the band's best since 1999's Millennium. Fans who always preferred their banging pop tracks to the syrupy ballads will certainly be satisfied with this throbbing anthem, which has a chorus just begging for some old-school BSB dance moves.
