Date: Dec 08, 2004 CHRIS JONES - Associated Press FRANKLIN, Tenn. - Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell signed a deal Wednesday with the Christian label Provident Music Group's Reunion Records. "This has been a dream of mine every since I was a little boy, singing in church in Kentucky," said Littrell who was accompanied at the signing by his wife, Leighanne. Littrell, 29, said that singing with the Backstreet Boys was a "12-year stepping stone" to making this decision, and he hopes the Backstreet Boys fans will realize through his music "that standing up for what you believe in is what's important." Littrell will release the single, "In Christ Alone," on an upcoming WOW Christian Music compilation album next year. That will be followed in fall 2005 with the debut of his solo album on the Franklin-based label and concerts. Littrell also plans to tour with The Backstreet Boys, who are scheduled to end a three-year hiatus with a new project in March 2005. The five-member group's last album was "Black and Blue," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2001. Their manager, Johnny Wright, said that the group isn't breaking up but just taking an opportunity to do solo projects. Nick Carter is the only member to release a solo album, "Now or Never" which came out in 2002. A.J. Maclean also has expressed an interest in singing Christian music, Wright said. The other members, Kevin Richardson and Howie Dorough, are leaning more toward film and TV.
