AceShowbiz - Backstreet Boys star A.J. McLean is hoping to "disrupt country" by recording a new solo album full of Chris Stapleton-type tunes.

The boyband veteran admits his group's 2017 "God, Your Mama and Me" collaboration with Florida Georgia Line had a big affect on him and now he wants to score a few country hits. "I want to come in and I want to disrupt country," the singer tells Entertainment Tonight. "I want to shift. I want to shake things up just like FGL did."

Editors' Pick

McLean prepared for his new musical adventure by joining the Country Music Association and announced his arrival in Nashville, Tennessee with a press release that read, "There's the AJ McLean you think you know: the trendsetter and member of one of the most successful groups of all time... Then there's the real AJ McLean, the ultimate trendsetter and a raw singer-songwriter, an artist dripping with soul and bare emotion."

Pressed for more details about his country sound, A.J. claims his new music has a "soulful kind of Chris Stapleton/Sam Hunt vibe."
