A new pop album is no longer only in Debbie Gibson's dreams.
of her chart-topping"Lost in Your Eyes" as a duet with New Kids on the Block's Joey McIntyre, with whom Gibson will be co-headlining Las Vegas shows during August and September.in a lot of ways," Gibson tells Billboard, referencing her double-platinum sophomore album from 1989, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and launched three top 20 Hot 100 hits, including"Lost In Your Eyes.
But Gibson is quick to assure that, at 50, she's not trying to revert to her teenage self either."What does make it feel like it's been a long time is the richness of things I have to write about now," she explains."I've lived a lot of life up to this album, and it's all reflected here. There are chapters and chapters of other songs I've written, especially in the last 10 years.
The new"Lost in Your Eyes" does hail from Gibson's past, but with more recent context. Gibson and McIntyre performed the song together during NKOTB's Mixtape Tour in 2019 at his suggestion. As Gibson was putting material together for"Literally one of the questions I get asked the most on social media is 'When is the 'Lost in Your Eyes' duet gonna get released?'" Gibson says."It's so special to me. I grew up with New Kids.
The collaboration also provided the juice for the duo's shows at the Venetian Resort Las Vegas -- with Sept. 16-19 added after the initial Aug. 26-29 dates sold out."Joey was like, 'Y'know what? If we record it, how about if we also do some shows together?'" Gibson recalls."It snowballed into this engagement that's gonna be so much fun.
"I really wanted to tell the truth about who I am, my life, and the truth about my voice, which sometimes is super slick and sometimes has rough edges," Gibson says."I had a chapter of my life and my career where I did a lot of Broadway and I wanted to prove to myself and other people I could use the legitimate part of my voice and sound super slick and have all this control. But I'm a rocker at heart in the sense that I have a rawness when I sing.
