In a recent interview with pressofatlanticcity.com AJ talked a bit about leaving Jive and their plans.
Q: What’s next for the group, now that you’ve left your longtime label, Jive?
A: There’s the possibility of moving to a new label or doing a straight distribution deal. The upside is we have the freedom to do whatever we want, to be much more creative, as artists and as performers. We now have the freedom to do whatever we want. If we go with another label, we may have another outlook on the next 17 years for our career.
A lot of us have been talking about playing instruments again, maybe going the Beatles route. We have always emulated groups such as the Stones, the Beatles and the Eagles.
Who knows what could be the future of the Backstreet Boys? The concepts and ideas are infinitely limitless.

The recording took place before the group’s concert at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, VA.

Backstreet Boys will be Hosting the Grand Opening
Don’t tell Nick Carter that the Backstreet Boys are back. The lean, lanky pop singer will inform you that the group never went away.
When Carter released his solo album “Now Or Never” in 2002 and his boy-bandmates tried their hand at other projects, ranging from Broadway to parenthood, the Backstreet Boys were never far off the periphery. It was only a matter of time until Backstreet reconnected.
“We never drifted far from each other,” Carter says. “We always had [the Backstreet Boys] in our heads. We took a little break, and we’re loving every minute of it now that we’re doing our thing.”
Some boy bands pick it up again (New Kids on the Block) and others move on (‘N SYNC). Carter is thrilled to be in the former camp.

Concert review: Backstreet Boys bring back the 90’s on Memorial Day at Ruth Eckerd Hall
They’re certainly no longer boys, but the Backstreet Boys are definitely back. The boy band from Orlando — A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and Nick Carter (Kevin Richardson left the group in 2006) — will show why it’s sold more than 130 million records worldwide with its high-energy tour, which begins Saturday night at the AmericanAirlines Arena in downtown Miami.
Original member and South Florida homeboy Nick Carter talked to The Miami Herald about the tour, that YouTube video (you know the one), and why the Boys were really Never Gone.
Q: Why kick off the U.S. tour in Miami?
A: I was the one pushing to play a show in Miami for a lot of reasons. I’ve lived down in the South Florida area, in Parkland and down in the Florida Keys, so it’s kind of a home to me, and I really wanted to be able to play for friends and family. I feel like there are a lot of people who live down there who haven’t seen us in a while. Actually, funny enough, that’s one of the shows that’s doing the best as far as ticket sales. So we’re really happy.
