THE GTA LINKS

The GTA's connection to the New Kids on the Block reunion is far more significant than being the kick-off site of their world tour: Donnie Wahlberg credits the genesis of the quintet's relaunch to the song "Click Click Click" written by Scarborough's Nasri Atweh, who has also co-written four other tunes on the group's new disc.

"He had gone down to New York to try and make it as a songwriter and an artist, and he passed the song on to a music attorney who just happened to be the New Kids' old music attorney," Wahlberg explained.

Wahlberg happened by the lawyer's office on a lunch break while shooting Righteous Kill with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and was handed an envelope with the CD in it.

"He said `I haven't heard it, but give it a listen; this kid's supposed to be a good songwriter.'"

Wahlberg did listen, about a week later. "I had no expectations at all; I certainly wasn't looking for a song for the New Kids; and I heard it and I was instantly taken by it.

"It struck me immediately: if the New Kids were ever going to do a song together, this would be the kind of song we need to do. I played it for Joey and Jordan, and they agreed. And then I pulled out my cheque book and we got to work."
