NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK RELEASE “BRING BACK THE TIME” FEATURING SALT-N-PEPA, RICK ASTLEY & EN VOGUE
Co-written and co-produced by Donnie Wahlberg the song aims to uplift and inspire listeners. The song embodies the feel-good sentiment of their upcoming tour with Donnie saying of the song, “”From the second I started working on this song, I knew it could be a perfect anthem for the entire Mixtape 2022 tour! Sort of like a ‘Mixtape within a Mixtape’. When the other artists from the tour lineup responded with such enthusiasm, and were willing to take this nostalgic musical journey together, I knew it would be something for all of our fans. Hopefully, ‘Bring Back The Time’ captures a love of music, of making memories and of people celebrating the best of times. We plan on bringing that very energy to the stage every single night!”

We enlisted Ryan Bussard (director, analog visual FX) to bring more chaos into the fold by capturing our performance, manipulating and visually breaking it apart at its seams. Feign’s raw, melodic energy has quickly made it one of our favorites live.”
