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 singles “Chains” and hit single “Jealous”.

Other highlights include the emotionally resonant “Avalanche,” a duet with long-time friend Demi Lovato (Jonas served as Creative and Musical Director on her recent Neon Lights tour), and the hip-hop-tinged “Numb,” which Jonas co-wrote with Mike Posner (Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz) and which features rapper Angel Haze.
