Backstreet Boys
The debut “We've got it goin' on” in 1995 marked the start of a career that shaped boy band pop worldwide. Through collaboration with Swedish producers such as Max Martin, numerous international hits were created, dominating the charts in the late 1990s. Especially in Europe and the USA, singles like “Larger than life” and “Quit playing games (with my heart)” achieved high sales and received extensive radio play.
Backstreet Boys – Sound & Production Style
The production style of the Backstreet Boys combines multi-part vocal harmonies with electronic beats, synthesiser pads and catchy hooks. The songs were mainly produced by Max Martin and Denniz Pop at the Cheiron Studios, which defined the characteristic pop sound of the late 1990s. Typical features include the alternation between solo and group parts, as well as the use of drum machines and programmed percussion that set the rhythm.
