‘DNA’ will be BSB’s 10th studio album and has a January 25 release date.  AJ says, “After 25 years, to be played on the radio and get as much love as (“Heart”) has gotten, is still overwhelming.  We feel extremely blessed to know that the past 5-7 years of us doing everything we can to rebuild the brand and get us back to this place has definitely paid off. This (song) has really been setting things up perfectly and we’re about to be off to the races soon.”  ‘DNA’ will be the followup to their 2013 album ‘In A World Like This’.

Their new single called ‘Chances’ was co-written by Shawn Mendes and Ryan Tedder from OneRepublic.  And you guessed it – their new song is about love and finding the love of your life in an everyday scenario.  As AJ explains, “You don’t necessarily have to be set up on a date or go on a dating app to meet that special someone.  You could literally miss your train and happen to lock eyes with this person, and just lose yourself in that moment and go to whatever lengths to actually be with that person.”

Now let’s talk about this tour.  BSB will head out on a 69-date world tour (their first in 18 years) and it’ll kick off in Washington DC on July 12.  Following their North American leg, BSB will then tour for two months on a European run.  And in case you were wondering about their Las Vegas residency – after two and a half years, the boys will end come next April, “We have to go big.  The show will have a live band, as opposed to dancers, and run 1½ to 2 hours.  You’ll get to hear all the hits and probably half of the new record, with some little surprises sprinkled in as well. We just locked in the stage design recently and it’s going to be mind-blowing,” says AJ.
