Back in April we excitedly learned that Kevin Richardson had rejoined the Backstreet Boys to work on a new album after he realized he was nothing without them (the latter part of that sentence is our own opinion).

Now we know they’re currently in the studio!

While announcing that the original five would reunite for a concert on Good Morning America in August, they also revealed they’re currently in a London studio working on the new album!

Details are still scarce, but we hope to see this new project released by the end of the year or early next. We could imagine the boys performing one of their new songs at the aforementioned August show.

The Backstreet Boys are working with producer Martin Terefe on the new album. Terefe has worked with Mary J. Blige, Train and Jason Mraz in the past.
