Inconsolable

"Inconsolable" is the first single by the Backstreet Boys from their sixth studio album Unbreakable which was released on October 30, 2007. The single hit the U.S. radio outlets on August 27, 2007. It was premiered by Jive at Z-100 - New York's Hit Music Station on August 6. It was written and produced by Emanuel Kiriakou (Nick Lachey "What's Left Of Me", Katharine McPhee "Ordinary World"), and co-written by Lindy Robbins and Jess Cates (Backstreet Boys' "Incomplete").

Music video

The music video, directed by Ray Kay, is shot in Venice Beach, California. Like their previous hit Incomplete, the music video featured the Boys, now without Kevin Richardson, both individually and together. In the beginning, Nick Carter is shown lying on the beach at dawn; Brian Littrell is in his house looking out; A.J. Mclean is on the street with his car, much like in Incomplete. Howie Dorough is shown sitting with his back against a wall near the beach. At various intervals in between, when the chorus is sang, the four are seen together on the Venice Pier. After the leads are sung, the scenes shift between the Boys individually and together; at the end of the video, the sun breaks and they look above in wonder. The city wakes up and they walk towards the ocean together on the pier.
