2014 Nick Jonas Self Titled DEBUT LP Vinyl Deluxe Edition includes "Chains" & 3 Bonus Tracks.  Island Records UPC 602547035653  BRAND NEW SEALED.

Nick Jonas announces himself as a brand-new artist on his self-titled solo debut. The album is a stellar showcase for the 21-year-old singer and songwriter’s powerhouse voice, which can slide into a soaring falsetto on a dime, and his dark-hued soulful pop songs, many of which he co-wrote. Jonas signals his current musical direction with the album’s sultry first single “Chains” and its surreal video, both of which he feels set the tone for this next phase of his career. “The song is about letting go of the past and things I was fearful of before,” he says. “It's saying ‘I'm going to take these next steps forward without looking over my shoulder and worrying about who I'm offending or who I'm pleasing. This is who I am now, and I'm proud of that.’"

Who Jonas is now is a multi-talented artist stepping out on his own and re-inventing himself after achieving worldwide fame with The Jonas Brothers. The Grammy-nominated group sold 20 million albums and toured the globe several times over before calling it quits in October 2013. Its youngest member has lived a lot of life in those years and his experiences are reflected on the album. “One of the interesting things about this next step was embracing another thing I love about singing, which is storytelling,” Jonas says. “On every song, I have a responsibility to tell the story and connect it to the listener.”

On “Jealous,” which he co-wrote with Nolan Lambroza and Simon Wilcox, Jonas expresses a vulnerability he says most men feel but are often afraid to express. “Warning” touches on allowing oneself the freedom to step into something without fear. Other highlights include the emotionally resonant “Avalanche,” a duet with long-time friend Demi Lovato and the hip-hop-tinged “Numb,” which Jonas co-wrote with Mike Posner (Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz) and which features rapper Angel Haze.

Jonas attributes the album’s darker overtones partially to the fact that while he was recording, he was also shooting the gritty television show Kingdom - a mixed martial arts family drama that premieres on DirecTV's Audience Network in October. Jonas plays an MMA prize fighter who holds his cards close to his chest. “He’s reserved, but an animal in the cage, where he comes alive in a way he doesn’t anywhere else,” Jonas says. “Tapping in to a character who carries a lot under the surface definitely influenced what I was doing in the studio.”

Jonas’ life-long passion for music has driven him to approach every stage of his career with “open eyes and an open heart,” as he puts it. “I’m always looking to see how I can learn and do better,” he says. “I had a pretty amazing run with my brothers and experienced some truly incredible things that I will always be proud of. At the same time, I view this next step as a chance to do that over again, but really enjoy it and not be worried that it's going to go away, or that if I close my eyes, I'll miss something. It's about knowing that every phase of a career has really high moments combined with low ones. Staying in the middle and surrounding yourself with people who make you happy and who you can enjoy it with is the most important thing.”
