New Kids on the Block Thank ‘Blockheads’ for Their Support in Video Announcing Release Date of Upcoming Album

Blockheads, rejoice!
New Kids on the Block have a release date for their new album. In a fun Instagram video jointly posted on their band account and member Joey McIntyre’s account on April 4, the boy band announced that their upcoming album, Still Kids, will be released on May 17.
In the clip, set to the album’s lead single, “Kids,” McIntyre, 51, goofed around with his bandmates Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. The upcoming album is New Kids on the Block’s first in more than a decade.
“Blockheads thank you for all of the love you’ve shown “KIDS”! Pre-save our new album ’Still Kids’ out on May 17th 🤖❤️ #StillKids #KIDS #NewMusic,” read the caption of the video. The band members all wore denim and dark shirts in the video as they lip-synced the words to their latest song.
According to the album’s press release, fans can expect “pop anthems, dance tracks, love songs and grooves” on the 14-track album, which follows 2013’s 10.
Still Kids will also feature fun collaborations with artists from the 1980s including DJ Jazzy Jeff on the song “Get Down” and singer-songwriter Taylor Dayne on “Old School Love.”
“Kids” was written and produced by David Stewart and Luke Batt, but per the press release, Wahlberg, 54, has co-written seven songs and is the album’s creative director. McIntyre is a co-writer on six songs.
The two bandmates each shared a statement in the album’s press release.
“It’s the most mature album we’ve ever made,” Wahlberg said. “Yet it’s the most fun and most comfortable album we’ve ever made.”
He continued, “This album, more than any other, is bringing the New Kids and the fans full circle. It’s about hope and possibilities and being ourselves.”
