Nick Jonas interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Jonas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about when his fans can expect new music from him.

Here’s what I will say. Once I’m kind of up and running in the show and feeling comfortable I’d say that my brothers and I are definitely going to start writing again. It’s been a while. It’s going to have been three years at that point which is obviously the longest stretch we’ve ever gone without releasing [music]. But we’ll start writing, and get more into it and hopefully we have something out for our fans. If not later this year, maybe next year.

Chains

Music VideoSingle Release0 Comments

Jonas releases the first single off of his debut album as a solo artist. The song is given to Jonas by his label, Island Records:

So Chains I actually did not write. The way it worked was that I had about three or four songs ready for the record, so I sort of got the template of what I wanted it to sound like and then my new home Island Records said, “Hey we have this song that fits kind of with what you’ve been doing.” So I took it, made it my own a bit and immediately found a connection to it because I think for me it sort of took on a greater meaning of not letting things in your life hold you back from being exactly who you need to be and what’s important to you. So I connected with it in a major way.

Chains video

Jonas releases the music video for his single Chains. The video features Dylan Penn playing the girl he loves.

I’m talking about love, I’m talking about heartbreak, a big theme for me in this is trust, and fear. The story behind ‘Chains’ is basically that feeling that all people can relate to, it’s being trapped.

Ok Magazine interview

Jonas gives an interview to Ok Magazine about the meaning behind his single Chains.

I think what’s great about Chains and the reason I really connect with it is that anyone can make it about whatever chains are in their life. For me, it’s about trying to be a bold and fearless artist. So, to me, the chains are fear.

Nick Jonas interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Jonas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks him questions about the writing process for his new single, Jealous.

I was out with my girlfriend the night before I wrote this song … and I got heated. I was doing all this fighting training for this show I just finished up [DirecTV’s Kingdom], so I was ready to go. [But] I contained myself … and I came in the next day to the studio and wrote this song. I think it is true … a lot of people can relate with this, a lot of men, they don’t talk about it, it makes them uncomfortable. But I think vulnerability is good and it’s what makes us human.

Jonas talks to Seacrest about the meaning of his single Jealous during On Air With Ryan Seacrest:

I’m no guru at this point, but I feel like the biggest lesson I’ve learned as it relates to love and relationships…in any relationship is that full transparency is necessary to have a healthy relationship. There’s some truth to it, some heart, in it the fact that men don’t really address it.

Sex is such an important part of a healthy life, in the sense that it’s such an intrinsic part of who you are. When your sex life is not healthy you resort to other things as an outlet. And in terms of the show, that’s tough to watch.

I have been trained very well by some excellent fighters, so if anything ever went down I’d be worried that I would use the training and then get in trouble.

On Air interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Jonas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about hosting the Kids Choice Awards and being the shows opening performer.

It’s pretty wild. The people from Nickelodeon love slime more than anything else in the world. And they love watching people having to kind of deal with it afterwards. I’m going to be singing Chains and it’s a really incredible open to the show. I don’t want to give anything away, but I am sort of integrated in the beginning in some way. So be watching from the start. This is obviously going to be the biggest and best night of music. I’m thrilled to be a part of the show.
