DNA es un álbum de Backstreet Boys, publicado en 2019. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Don't Go Breaking My Heart», «Nobody Else», «Breathe» y «New Love».
Antecedentes: un regreso triunfal
Tras el éxito de su gira de 20º aniversario y una popular residencia en Las Vegas, los Backstreet Boys experimentaron un nuevo resurgimiento en popularidad. "DNA", su noveno álbum de estudio, fue el resultado de esta renovada energía. El título del álbum, "DNA", refleja el concepto del disco: explorar las influencias musicales que componen el "ADN" de cada miembro del grupo y fusionarlas en un sonido cohesivo que es inequívocamente Backstreet Boys.
El álbum fue precedido por el sencillo "Don't Go Breaking My Heart", que se convirtió en un éxito sorpresa y les valió una nominación al Grammy a la Mejor Actuación de Dúo/Grupo Pop, la primera en 17 años. Esto generó una enorme expectación por el álbum, posicionándolo como su lanzamiento más importante en más de una década.
Proceso de grabación y ecléctica paleta de sonidos
Para "DNA", el grupo adoptó un enfoque único: en lugar de buscar un único sonido, invitaron a una variedad de productores y compositores de diferentes géneros a que les presentaran canciones que reflejaran su propio estilo. El grupo luego seleccionó las canciones que más les gustaban y las "backstreet-izaron" con sus características armonías.
Esto dio su álbum más ecléctico hasta la fecha. Trabajaron con compositores de la talla de Shawn Mendes y Ryan Tedder (de OneRepublic), y con productores de EDM, country y R&B. El álbum fusiona el electropop moderno con el country pop, el R&B de los 90 y baladas a capela, mostrando la increíble versatilidad vocal del grupo.
Análisis musical y temático
"DNA" es una celebración de todo lo que son los Backstreet Boys. Es un álbum que honra su pasado mientras mira firmemente hacia el futuro. La producción es moderna y fresca, pero el núcleo del sonido sigue siendo sus armonías de cinco partes, que son más prominentes y complejas que nunca. Canciones como "Breathe" demuestran que, incluso después de más de 25 años, su talento vocal sigue siendo su mayor activo.
Líricamente, el álbum se centra en el amor y la familia. "No Place", por ejemplo, es una conmovedora oda a la vida familiar, y su vídeo musical presenta a los cinco miembros con sus esposas e hijos, ofreciendo a los fans una visión íntima de sus vidas personales.
Análisis de las canciones principales
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart": El sencillo principal es una brillante pieza de electropop con un bajo pulsante y un estribillo irresistible. La canción fue un éxito comercial y de crítica, y la nominación al Grammy revitalizó la carrera del grupo, demostrando que podían competir con los artistas de pop actuales.
"Chances": Coescrita por Ryan Tedder y Shawn Mendes, esta es una balada de pop-rock con una producción grandiosa. La canción se convirtió en el segundo sencillo y destacó por su melodía cinematográfica y su mensaje sobre el destino y el amor.
"No Place": Una balada de country-pop que se convirtió en el himno familiar del álbum. Es una de las canciones más personales que han grabado, y su vídeo, que muestra sus vidas en casa, conectó profundamente con sus fans de toda la vida.
"Breathe": Una impresionante pista a capela que cierra el álbum. Es una demostración de pura destreza vocal, un recordatorio de que, en su esencia, los Backstreet Boys son un grupo vocal de primer nivel.
Rendimiento comercial y gira mundial
"DNA" fue un éxito comercial rotundo y un regreso triunfal a la cima. El álbum debutó en el número 1 del Billboard 200 en Estados Unidos, su primer álbum en alcanzar la cima en 19 años (desde "Black & Blue" en 2000). Este logro fue un testimonio de su longevidad y de la lealtad de su base de fans.
El DNA World Tour, que comenzó en 2019, se convirtió en su gira de estadios más grande en casi dos décadas. La gira fue un éxito masivo, con entradas agotadas en todo el mundo, y celebró tanto el nuevo álbum como su increíble catálogo de éxitos, consolidando su estatus como uno de los grupos de pop más duraderos y exitosos de todos los tiempos.
