For all the girls who grew up with boy bands like N*SYNC,
Backstreet Boys, and 98 Degrees, there’s some exciting news on the music front:
98 Degrees is back together. That much, at least is old news, since rumors
started last March and were confirmed in June. Then in August, MTV News hinted
that 98 Degrees would be bringing some new music in the New Year.
Now that speculation has turned to fact. The
group has announced that they are in the process of making a brand new album,
which will be released on May 7th. The album is appropriately titled
2.0 and will be the first studio
release since Revelation in 2000.
“We’re definitely going to get back into the studio and make
some new music. The next couple of months are kind of busy for us on different
levels, but we are going to get in the studio and start making new music and
see where the creative process takes us and then we will see what 2013 holds in
store for us,” said Drew Lachey. “We are listening to songs, writing songs, so
hopefully in the next couple of months.”
Shortly after the planned release for 2.0, 98 Degrees plans to take part in the Package Tour, which will
be full of other boy bands from back in the day. They will open for New Kids on
the Block, joined by Boyz II Men. The tour will last through the summer,
beginning on May 31st and ending on July 13th.
“We are really excited to bring our fans new music and get
out on the road,” said band member Nick Lachey. “This is a long time coming.”
Indeed, it’s been 12 full years since 98 Degrees has played
a show. Boyz II Men have not played a solo act in three years and have never
gone on an arena tour. Package
Tour will be the perfect opportunity for the boy bands to regroup, get back
in the game, and give fans a chance to reminisce about the good ol’ days.
