All Around The World
In just the past few years, teen-pop/R&B quartet Mindless Behavior have opened up sold-out shows for the likes of Justin Bieber and Janet Jackson, taken the stage at two White House events, and backed up their hit-packed debut album with a national tour that's soon to be the subject of their own feature-length documentary and concert movie. In the midst of all that action, Mindless Behavior's Prodigy, Roc Royal, Ray Ray, and Princeton have dedicated untold hours to meeting up and interacting with their international fanbase, a rapidly multiplying network that includes more than 500,000 mobile fan-list subscribers, millions following their social media profiles, and the thousands of fans who turn up at each of the group's famously frenzied in-store appearances. So when it came time to create their follow-up to #1 Girl (a top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart), Mindless Behavior ditched the standard approach to album-making and started recording songs while still out on the road. Deftly capturing the frenetic energy of its recording locales including Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles All Around The World (Streamline/Conjunction/Interscope Records) finds Mindless Behavior pushing deeper into the high-powered, hook-laden pop/R&B/hip-hop hybrid that made their debut so instantly irresistible and won the group so many intensely devoted fans throughout the globe.
For help in building a bigger, bolder sound on All Around The World, Mindless Behavior teamed up with a host of A-list producers that represent the most vital elements of today's pop landscape. With its infectious mix of club-ready bangers, uptempo urban anthems, and stunningly soulful love songs, the album features production from hitmakers like Sean Garrett (Usher, Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj), Team S. Dot (Diddy - Dirty Money), Walter Millsap (Beyoncé, Timbaland, Alicia Keys), Rob Wells (Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert), and Ester Dean (Rihanna, Katy Perry). Not only showcasing each member's ever-elevating vocal work, All Around The World represents a new level of sophistication in Mindless Behavior's song content.
