As my regular readers know, I have no problem owning up to my guilty pleasures. Britney Spears? CHECK. Pop-star-era Mandy Moore? CHECK. Cascada? CHECK. One train I have not yet jumped on board with is the Jonas Brothers express and I am confident that things won’t change. What I CAN’T promise you is that I won’t fall, head-over-heels in love with Joe Jonas.
I’ve been hearing rumors and bits about Joe Jonas‘ upcoming solo album for a while now, including word that he’s going electropop for his new sound. This is extremely exciting for me, as I just couldn’t get into fellow Jonas Brother Nick Jonas‘ solo project, Nick Jonas and the Administration. Electropop is my genre of choice and I am confident that Joe Jonas will do it well (and look super hot in the music videos). First single, “See No More” was co-written and produced by Chris Brown and Brian Kennedy, the team responsible for Rihanna‘s #1 hit “Disturbia.” Sounds hot.
While the single isn’t out until June 13th, Jonas has released a teaser which you can check out below. The video features footage of Jonas from photo shoots and possibly video shoots. He’s lookin’ as hot as ever and the short snippet of song sounds equally as steamy. The album is expected out on September 6th via Hollywood/Columbia Records and has been called everything from “European” and DJ-friendly to “the love child of MGMT and Justin Timberlake” {SOURCE}. While I’m not sure if those two sounds go together, if nothing else, I’m intrigued. Jonas has reportedly worked on material with Rob Knox (of The Y’s – Rihanna, Ciara) and Danja (Britney Spears, Ciara) as well as other talented songwriters and producers. Frankmusik was also working with Jonas on material for his solo album, however it looks like those tracks won’t make the final album. Disappointing but the project still sounds potentially hot. As far as I’m concerned, Joe Jonas + electropop = GOLD. Download “See No More” on iTunes June 13th and check out the hot teaser below for a taste.
