Howie Dorough [Howie D] boldly steps into new territory for his solo debut, Back To Me. As one-fourth of The Backstreet Boys, Howie helped build one of the most formidable legacies in pop culture history, selling over 100 million records worldwide, yielding numerous top ten singles, garnering various awards, and encouraging one of the largest and most devout fan bases ever. However, Back To Me is the next phase of his own personal legacy.

Across the album, the singer and songwriter infuses his sultry and soulful melodies into a danceable sound that’s equally ready for the clubs and arenas. The music bounces from Euro electro chic into propulsive modern pop, generating tunes that’ll get everyone dancing. First single, “100,” transforms from slick, sexy synths into an unforgettable hook as Howie's voice takes hold. Set for a November release in Japan with worldwide release immediately following, Back To Me sees him shining like never before.

Incorporating a myriad of styles, Howie slides outside of the box. About Back To Me's sound, he explains, "The whole objective was to show people my individual personality. When we come together in Backstreet Boys, our individual sounds create an unbelievable group sound. At the same time, we've all had aspirations of doing solo projects for many years. This is finally my chance to get out there, step up to the plate, and show everyone what I got."

The album's first single, "100," will definitely move anyone that hears it. Produced by Canadian duo The Kuya Brothers, the track is a vibrant anthem that can proudly stand alongside his catchiest cuts. It officially hits radio and video outlets in May, and it's the perfect prelude to the album. "For me, the song is about giving one-hundred percent," reveals Howie. "When I work on anything, a project or a relationship, I have to give it my all. People can relate to that in many different ways."

On the other end of the musical spectrum, "Lie To Me" sees Howie reaching new heights as a vocalist, while showcasing his balladeer heart. "It's one of those infectious ballads that sticks in your head," adds the singer. "I'm a very heartfelt guy, and the song explores wanting someone who's not right for you. It was a fun challenge for me to try different styles of delivery and add new dynamics." Then there's "Pure" another entrancing and engaging cut. Howie actually wrote the song with Backstreet Boys cohort Nick Carter, and it brightly illuminates their chemistry together. "It was a lot of fun to work with Nick," exclaims Howie. "He and I both bonded over the song, and it fit Back To Me perfectly. It's another track that I'm extremely excited about."

Just like "100" says, Howie never stops giving his all, whether he's making music in the studio, performing on stage, shaping young artists, working with charities, or even taking care of his family. As a result of that work ethic, Back To Me is some of the purest and most powerful music he's recorded.
