L.a. Blue

It's obvious that Joey McIntyre poured his heart into the first single from his upcoming album, "8:09." The former Boston-based New Kid penned the poignant lyrics to "L.A. Blue" soon after leaving his hometown. Revealing a mature sound that's closer to adult contemporary than mainstream pop, it seems

as though McIntyre is finally making strides in distancing himself from an image he has been trying to shake for years. But it's unlikely—and unfortunate—that anyone other than die-hard fans will get the chance to be acquainted with his more melodic side. These days, such a deeply personal song will likely get lost in the shuffle.—KK
