In A World Like This es un álbum de Backstreet Boys, publicado en 2013. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «In A World Like This», «Permanent Stain», «Breathe» y «Madeleine».
Antecedentes: la reunión y la independencia
"In a World Like This" es un álbum de punto de inflexións para los Backstreet Boys. Lanzado en 2013, coincidió con el 20 aniversario de la formación del grupo. Más importante aún, marcó el regreso oficial de Kevin Richardson, quien se había reincorporado a la banda en 2012, reuniendo la formación original por primera vez desde "Never Gone" (2005). Fue su primer álbum lanzado de forma independiente a través de su propio sello, K-BAHN, tras separarse de Jive Records, su hogar discográfico durante casi dos décadas. Este álbum representó una nueva era de control creativo y unidad para el grupo.
Proceso de grabación y documental
La creación de "In a World Like This" fue un proceso único y colaborativo. Por primera vez, los cinco miembros vivieron juntos en una casa en Londres durante el proceso de escritura y grabación. Esta experiencia, que buscaba reconectar al grupo tanto a nivel personal como creativo, fue documentada en la película "Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)", lanzada en 2015.
Trabajaron con una variedad de productores, incluyendo a su colaborador de toda la vida, Max Martin, en la canción principal, y al productor Martin Terefe (conocido por su trabajo con Jason Mraz y James Morrison). El grupo tuvo una participación sin precedentes en la composición, coescribiendo la mayoría de las canciones y explorando temas más personales y maduros.
Sonido y temática
"In a World Like This" es posiblemente su álbum más diverso estilísticamente. Combina el pop y el dance-pop que sus fans adoran con influencias del adult contemporary, el folk-pop y el rock suave. La presencia de la voz de barítono de Kevin Richardson añade una profundidad y una riqueza a las armonías que se había echado en falta en los dos álbumes anteriores.
Líricamente, el álbum es muy personal y reflexivo. Las canciones abordan temas como el amor duradero, la paternidad, la superación de la adversidad y la celebración de su larga carrera. Temas como "Madeleine", que trata sobre el acoso escolar y el suicidio adolescente, muestran una madurez y una conciencia social que nunca antes habían explorado.
Los temas más destacados
"In a World Like This": La canción principal, coescrita y producida por Max Martin, es un himno de pop optimista y edificante. Con su ritmo folk-pop y su estribillo contagioso, la canción celebra el poder del amor para superar los desafíos del mundo. Su vídeo musical, que intercala imágenes de eventos históricos importantes con escenas de los miembros del grupo con sus familias, refuerza este mensaje universal.
"Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)": Una balada poderosa coescrita por Kevin y AJ. La canción es un mensaje de aliento y empoderamiento para sus hijos y sus fans. Se convirtió en el título de su documental, encapsulando el espíritu de resiliencia de la banda.
"Breathe": Una impresionante balada a capela que muestra la fuerza de sus armonías vocales. La ausencia de instrumentación pone de relieve el talento vocal puro que siempre ha sido la base del grupo.
"Madeleine": Escrita por el cantautor sueco Sacha Skarbek, es una de las canciones más emotivas del álbum. Aborda el tema del acoso y ofrece un mensaje de esperanza a una joven que está luchando. Es un ejemplo de la creciente madurez lírica del grupo.
Rendimiento comercial y gira de aniversario
"In a World Like This" debutó en el número 5 del Billboard 200, convirtiéndose en su noveno álbum en el Top 10 y el primero como grupo independiente. El álbum tuvo un éxito notable en todo el mundo, demostrando que la reunión de los cinco miembros originales había reavivado el interés en la banda.
La gira de apoyo, In a World Like This Tour, fue una celebración masiva de su 20 aniversario. La gira duró casi dos años, con más de 170 conciertos en todo el mundo, y fue una de las más exitosas de su carrera, consolidando su estatus como un acto en vivo perdurable y querido.
