New Kids were awkward and enthusiastic on their 1986 debut, which wasn’t surprising considering that the oldest members were barely 16 years old. With their next album, 1988’s Hangin’ Tough, the group’s image had toughened up and they had the material to support it. From the saccharine ballad “I’ll Be Loving You Forever” to the title track’s stab at funk, the band had a seemingly endless streak of hits in 1988 and 1989; their Christmas album even went double platinum. New Kid mania continued with 1990’s Step by Step; even if it sold five million copies less than Hangin’ Tough, it still sold three million copies. But that was the end of the road for their short time in the sun — they were the subject of an endless amount of jokes and were getting no respect. Besides, their audience was growing up. In 1994, they returned with the Starr-less Face the Music, which actually showed a remarkable musical maturity — they were a credible urban R&B outfit — but hardly sold anything, even if they were packing theaters on tour.
