Following the media sensation that revealed their official reunion,
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK released their first new music on MAY 13, the single “Summertime,” is now available digitally on iTunes and anywhere music is sold digitally. Request it on your favorite radio station now!
For one thing, he's matured; for another, his debut solo album, Second Face Released in early 2003, was a soulful mix of R&B, pop, and alternative-tinged tunes that any serious musician would be glad to claim as their own (the album released one single stateside that charted on Billboard and another that climbed to the Top 20 singles chart in Germany).
But getting a proper hearing hasn't been easy when your past pedigree includes having been part of that late 80's / 90's phenomenon, New Kids On The Block; it's been more of a Stumbling Block.
Despite NKOTB's achievements (record-breaking live show attendance and sales; superstardom on a global scale and not to mention over 100 million albums sold around the world), the 'manufactured boy band' image continues to linger around the former members, which is a source of frustration for the talented Wood. "I will never complain about the ride and what I learned from it, but musically it definitely wasn't what I wanted to be doing," he says of that time.
Danny's sophomore solo release is entitled "Coming Home" (Damage Records / Essential Media Group) due in February 2008. The acoustic album features (16) new songs both written and produced by Danny himself. This was an album Danny worked on, while filming a reality tv show for MTV Networks called "Totally Boyband" in the U.K. Danny and three other former boyband members formed the super group "Upper Street", and seen the show get some of the highest ratings in network history. The group released "The One" in fall 2006 to both radio and retail.
Danny reunited with his brothers in NKOTB after 14 years.

Danny, Your new CD is awesome!!! I was so happy to get an autographed copy. Thanks for everything that you do for Komen and for your fans. We appreciate it! Love, Michele
A group of fans chipped in for a Live Autograph and put the signed NKOTB poster on ebay. 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation in memory of Danny Wood’s mother, Betty Wood (rememberbetty.org).

Danny, I love the new cd. My autographed copy came in the mail yesterday! I love all the songs--but the one I think I like the most is "I Can't Stop Thinking." It gives me tingles, sweetie. I imagine this is how most of us Blockheads felt about you guys at one time or another. Just can't stop thinking about you!! I love it. I can totally hear this being played on the radio. Love you!!! Kaprelle
I just got your cd yesterday and love all your songs! I was also very happy that it was autographed :) If you do another bubble tweet can I request either "stronger" or "why?" It's so great how involved you are with the fight against breast cancer. You are an inspiration. I heart you!
Just writing to say "Hello". I hope your family and yourself are doing fine. The cd is great and wish you the best. I hope your family and you a nice weekend and enjoy. Take care and be safe. Love and Smiles.:))xoxo
