When the Backstreet Boys crafted their first Christmas album, they aimed for a balance of emotion – blending the festive spirit of the holidays with the inevitable pensive aspects. “A Very Backstreet Christmas,” which arrived in October stocked with the angelic harmonizing of Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean and Brian Littrell, adeptly navigates the scope of sentiment.
From “White Christmas” to “Last Christmas,” “Winter Wonderland” to “Same Old Lang Syne,” the 13 songs – including three originals – are woven with BSB’s trademark vocals and an alluring sheen.
The album, which made its debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart, was actually ready to roll in 2021. But supply chain issues with vinyl and CDs, coupled with a few missed deadlines for promotional opportunities, prompted the quintet to delay a year.
