"The last year has just been so good for me. It let me calm down and figure out what I wanted and why I wanted it," says pop singer Joey McIntyre. With Stay The Same, Joey McIntyre has arrived on his own musical turf on his own musical terms.
Stay The Same is Joey McIntyre's debut album, and though his name might not be as instantly recognizable to some as, say, his former bandmate Donnie Wahlberg, he's still a venerable show-biz veteran with years of success under his belt. While other teenagers were jamming in garages or playing on the softball team, Joey was touring the world, singing and dancing with a little group out of Boston known as the New Kids On The Block. But since dropping the curtain on the New Kids, Joey has reinvented himself as a genuine musician, with a passion and talent that virtually guarantees his breakout solo success.
"You can never stop exploring and going places with your music and yourself, and there are still places in me that I hold back," explains Joey of the path that took him to where he is today. "These songs are just the beginning of my thoughts of growing up, of being a teenager and seeing my feelings through. This is all my angst up to this point."
Stay The Same, an album that excavates the heart and opens the mind, was snapped up by Columbia Records as soon as they got wind of the mayhem ensuing in Boston over the youngest of the New Kids. "Some of the songs speak of an independent kind of love, and others are needy ballads. I mean, I'm inspired by all kinds of things. I like to dance, I like to get down, I like to sing more traditional ballads," McIntyre explains of the varying sentiments and styles stretching throughout his debut album. "So this album has a little bit of everything, a versatility that can appeal to older and younger people. And at times, I'm very literal, so it can be very personal, but I believe that everybody has every personality inside of them. Everyone can relate."
"The more you just concentrate and focus on what you want to do and believe in yourself, the more you know it's gonna happen for you," Joey explains of his life and his song. "You just gotta hang in there and let the good things start happening."
On-stage and in the studio, good things are certainly happening for Joey McIntyre.
