Backstreet Boys Want To Work With Chainsmokers, Timbaland and Diplo

(Radio.com) If Backstreet Boys have their way, the boy-band legends will be lighting up dance floors with high-energy EDM beats. During a new interview with ET, the band expressed a keen interest in working with some of dance music's biggest names for their upcoming tenth studio full-length, including Chainsmokers and Diplo.

"We're reaching out to people who we were always inspired by or who may have been fans and we didn't even know," said AJ McLean. "We've all made friends with different people. Nick's been talking to Steve Aoki, Howie talked to Zedd, who's been a big, big fan [and] Diplo, we've also talked to. We've also done stuff with The Chainsmokers and those guys are amazing and out in Vegas with a residency as well, so who knows."

The group is also talking to hip-hop mega-producer Timbaland about possible collaborations after making the connection through Nick Carter during the film of the Boy Band TV show.

"We're all huge fans of him and we've never had a chance to work together, so we were just talking and vibing to see if it might make sense to [record] together," Howie Dorough explained. Read more here.
