I love the show. I started watching if for Nick but I actually love the entire cast and premise.

Last week it climbed up to #32 on the album charts and looks to be staying there or moving up. :)

My Review of Nick Jonas
The overall sound of this album is contemporary R&B-inspired pop music. The production is strong and some songs remind me of OneRepublic, Justin Bieber, and Trey Songz while vocally he's definitely done his homework on Prince, Miguel, Ne-Yo, and Maxwell.
1. Chains - 8/10 * This is a great album opener. The production and lyrics are ace. I like his vocals. I believe it was released as the first single or maybe as a heater track over the summer, but will be pushed as the next single. I have no doubt that it'll be successful.
2. Jealous - 9/10 * I have not gotten tired of this song. The catchy chorus remains this song's strong point. One of the album's highlights.
3. Teacher - 7/10 * This song is cute. I like the production, very disco and funk inspired. The lyric video to this is one of my favorites of the year.
4. Warning - 7/10 * Another cute song, reminds me of a OneRepublic song.
5. Wilderness - 6/10 * This one is OK, a little more adult contemporary than the rest. It's very OneRepublic once again. Like something I'd hear in Aeropostale and Hollister.
6. Numb - 6/10 * I liked this song at first listen, but for some reason it's worn off on me and I find myself skipping it. The production is really good. I don't care for Angel Haze's rap.
7. Take Over - 7/10 * This song is short, but it's a decent listen. This song is hard to explain as it has a few different musical influences in it.
8. Push - 9/10 * The falsetto here...very tender and emotional. I love this song. It has an ambient, relaxed, sensual, romantic vibe.
9. I Want You - 10/10 * MY FAVORITE!! The song reminds me of Prince's work from Controversy and 1999, Nick said that Prince was his biggest inspiration for making this album and I think it's a nice homage to his greatness.
10. Avalance - 8/10 * Demi and Nick sound really great together. The production compliments their vocals well.
11. Nothing Would Be Better - 8/10 * This is definitely one of those songs I can imagine being played at weddings. One of the better adult contemporary songs on this album.
12. Chains (remix) - 5/10 * The remix is unnecessary and the original is much better. Skip it.
13. Santa Barbara - 6/10 * Nice, laid back, and relaxed. It feels like something I'd hear in the background of a teen show. Completely different from the direction of the rest of the album.
14. Closer - 9/10 * This could fit right in with contemporary R&B radio and could definitely be played at the clubs, production is great and I love the chorus. I would love if this became a single. Mike Posner should definitely rap more and sing less.
Album rating = 7.5 - it's a decent listen, not a perfect album, but still worth purchasing for songs like "Chains", "Jealous", "Push", "I Want You", "Avalanche", "Nothing Would Be Better", and "Closer".

I saw Nick last night in Charlotte, front row. He was great! Sang "Chains" "Teacher" "Wilderness" "Numb" "Jealous" also "SOS" and "Feliz Navidad." He was co headlining with Jessie J at the KISSmas event at the Filmore here. His live vocals and stage energy were perfect. This album plays so well live in a music club. Oh yeah Jessie J was really good too!

Warning & Chains I couldn't pick between them, but I consider these 7 to be the best songs from the album! :)

Thanks daaahling will check them out. Jealous is cute, the remix is not needed but the rest of the album had no idea. Hopefully he gives me JT feels.

I love this album! I recommend it to anyone who ever thought the Jonas Brothers sucked. This will change your mind at least about Nick.

And I love the slight lisp he has on his s's. And he kinda slurs his words at points. It's enough to make him unique for me... and kinda sexy for some reason. The album doesn't bowl me over, but it shows a lot of promise. My six fav are: 1) Jealous 2) Push 3) Teacher 4) Wilderness 5) Numb 6) Warning or Closer

Nick Jonas did an interview in GQ magazine along with a photoshoot of him in various suits. A Single ManThe hit off his self-titled solo album is storming the charts and his abs are storming the blogosphere—all the proof you should need that Nick Jonas is poised for a huge 2015 BY LINDY WESTPHOTOGRAPHS BY PEGGY SIROTA February 2015 The hit off his self-titled solo album is storming the charts and his abs are storming the blogosphere—all the proof you should need that Nick Jonas is poised for a huge 2015. You're transitioning from "boy celebrity" to "man celebrity"? Which is better?I think that this stage in my life is really, for a lot of reasons, pretty incredible. Being a solo artist and trying to take these bold steps on my own. Do you feel more pressure?I don't know if it's more pressure—both come with their own pressure. But, like, before, if something went wrong, you could just be like, "Yo, that was Kevin."It's definitely a lot more on your own, taking on all the responsibility. More responsibility, but also more rewarding?Definitely. I think anytime that you push yourself, it's more rewarding. It makes being on my own that much sweeter. Do you ever get jealous of your abs for hogging the spotlight?[laughs] You know what? If my abs drove them to the music and got them to access the other projects I'm doing, it's all good. It's all worth it. I asked my 13-year-old what I should ask you, and she said, "Ask if he's single." So—and I want you to think very carefully about your answer—are you open to dating my 13-year-old daughter?
[laughs] No, I'm not. That is correct.It would be highly illegal. But I'm flattered.

Nick Jonas Signs Global Publishing Deal With UMPGARTICLESBUSINESSPOP-SHOPNEWS By Colin Stutz | January 23, 2015 9:30 AM EST Nick Jonas signed a global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group this week, the company's chairman and CEO Jody Gerson has announced. "I'm so thrilled to be a part of the Universal family, I'm looking forward to being a part of this amazing year to come," said Jonas in a video. The news comes as the pop star's hit "Jealous" topped the the Mediabase Pop Airplay Chart this week. Through the deal, UMPG will represent Jonas' songs on his Nick Jonas album that was released in November, handling creative, administration and licensing services worldwide. "Jealous" is among his six writing credits on that set. "Nick Jonas has a long future ahead of him, not only as a major pop star but as a really inventive songwriter and producer," said Gerson. "We're delighted to be working with him and our label partners at Island/Republic, and extremely proud of his well-deserved No.1." Source
