We reside in an more and more divided world, by politics and tradition and 1,000,000 different traces within the sand we draw between us and them. However espresso, it’s one of many few issues that unites us, that brings us collectively. And it has as soon as once more managed to name a truce and discover a widespread grand between the 2 best rivals of a era. I’m in fact speaking about blood feud between The Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC.
The 2 hottest boy bands of the ‘90s and early ‘00s have put apart their variations, with members of every band teaming as much as make The Iced Boys, a supergroup created to extol the greatness of Dunkin Donuts’ iced espresso. (Disclaimer: greatness for promotional use solely. Precise greatness might fluctuate.)
As reported by The Drum, The Iced Boys consists of *NYSNC’s Joey Fatone and The Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean. The duo’s first observe, titled “Iced Like My Espresso,” is a part of The Iced EP, a five-track album about Dunkin’ espresso obtainable solely on Spotify. Coming in at a decent eight minutes, the rest of the tracks have titles like “Refresher Season” and “SPARKD’ UP” and “All I Want is An Iced Espresso” and are carried out by Peyton Mackenzie and August Roads.
However in fact The Iced Boys are the celebs of the present, and as such “Iced Like My Espresso” is the lead single, with a music video as well. In it, Fatone and McLean are by no means too removed from an iced espresso, singing lyrics like “You bought me iced” and “Don’t dunk away my coronary heart once more,” which suggests that his coronary heart has beforehand been dunked away and that it was not a pleasing expertise.
The brand new album is a part of the Dunkin’Terns summer time advert marketing campaign created in collaboration with Artists Fairness, the manufacturing firm of World’s Most Well-known Bostonians Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
It simply goes to indicate the true uniting energy of espresso. If members of rival factions can put their variations apart over the love of espresso (and possibly a paycheck), maybe there may be hope but for the remainder of us.
