Still Backstreet Boys had time to record seven new tracks during their visit in Sweden.

- The songs are really unbelievable good, says Howie D. All the songs could be amazing singles.
Howie has taking a break from recording. His band members plays video games and recording.
Backstreet Boys have been almost three weeks in Sweden to record new material for the new album. Like on all the other BSB albums has the group worked with the swedish producer Max Martin and his colleagues from the Cheiron Studio in Stockholm.
- The best thing about working with Max is his creativety and his energy, says Howie.
- And he is also so funny.
All the members in Backstreet Boys are in a good mood. Kevin recently got married and camed to Sweden directly from his honeymoon. The rest of the band also had a long vacation. But after many late nights on Stockholm's nightclubs they are looking a bit tired.
- The night life in Stockholm are really great. In particulary the places around Stureplan, says Howie. We enjoys the city and all the beatiful people during our time off.

Will be back - on tour

Apart from that Backstreet Boys has swinged one or two cups night time have they also enjoyed the daytime. Kevin and Nick has played golf in a steady downpour and the whole band has been bowling.
Besides that Brian played basketball with guys from Lidingö Basket and Bodal Bulls.
- Both of them were pretty cocky, Brian was the best, says Jonas Ekman from Lidingö Basket.
Howie has however taking it easy with sports, besides that he exercises with the others in the mornings.
- I talk most of the time in the phone or sleeping when I have a day off.
- A typical day in the studio starts at 13.00. We go in in the recording room one at a time and record our vocals. During that time the others plays video gams or watch video.
They have seen all the "Alien"-movies. And when they havenīt watched TV they have had hair cuts by a hairdresser who camed to the studio. A.J. got a tatoo before the trip home.
What abot the album? Yes, they have been working too
- We have recorded seven fantastic songs. Three uptempo, two midtempo and two ballads. Itīs still to early to say what the whole album will sound like, because we are only halfway. But right now itīs as good as, or even better, than our last album "Millennium".
Are you going to play in Sweden soon?
- Yes. Itīs always wonderful to come here. Sweden was the first european country we camed to back when it all started in 1995. Hopefully we are back on a tour in the beginning of next year. They are so many good things about Sweden. We love the people here. And the wonderful weather during the summer...
