The album is available now in multiple formats, including Deluxe CD with exclusive photos and interview, vinyl exclusives, and a “Still Kids” themed Deluxe CD box set – click HERE to view the options.
The album release comes alongside a new Blockhead Fan Video for featured track, “Magic”. Blockheads submitted videos showing how they are still kids at heart, and in celebration of the new album, the band has released a surprise video compilation to accompany the song “Magic”.
Still Kids also features fan lauded and critically acclaimed lead single “Kids” (listen HERE). The track was written and produced by David Stewart, (BTS, Jonas Brothers, Jack Harlow, Shania Twain and more) and Luke Batt (Katie Melua). With press describing the song as “a euphoric pop banger…” (People Magazine), “upbeat… bouncy” (Billboard), “…youthful banger…” (American Songwriter), and “revved-up” (iHeart).
This morning, the New Kids took over Good Morning America (7:00-9:00am ET) as their “House Band” to kick off their album release day. The band performed multiple times including a high energy performance of “Kids,” as well as iconic hits like “You Got It (The Right Stuff)”. They even joined “GMA” lifestyle contributor Lori Bergamotto for her “The Right Stuff” segment. Check out the appearance on https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/.
On the all new album, members Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood channel the New Kids’ beginnings, even as it pushes them into new territory as songwriters and as a band. The album features 14 new tracks including the lead single, “Kids,” and is full of pop anthems, dance tracks, love songs, and grooves that will become fast favorites for the Blockheads.
“It’s the most mature album we’ve ever made,” says Donnie Wahlberg, who co-wrote seven of the tracks onStill Kids with longtime collaborator Lars Halvor Jensen and his production company DEEKAY Music. “Yet it’s the most fun and most comfortable album we’ve ever made.” Wahlberg is also credited as creative director on the album.
Joey McIntyre – who co-wrote another six tracks with songwriter and producer Sean Thomas—echoes the sentiment: “It says a lot about any band to make a record that has energy and passion and lightness and fun and depth – after almost 40 years together? It’s crazy.”
“This album, more than any other, is bringing the New Kids and the fans full circle,” Wahlberg concludes. “It’s about hope and possibilities and being ourselves.”
New Kids On The Block will celebrate the new album and classic hits with Blockheads across the country on their upcoming Magic Summer 2024 US Tour, kicking off on June 14, with special guests Paula Abdul and DJ Jazzy Jeff. Tickets are on-sale now atticketmaster.com. Reimagining the smash 1990 tour of the same name, NKOTB are so excited to bring back the magic and relive it with their fans.
