nick jonas: s/t

Didn't know where else to put this, but he sings the hook on this Sage the Gemini song and overall it's pretty great. It was hard to find. Guessing it leaked and they pulled it to polish it up because it sounds a little unfinished in parts.

Every time it hits the prechorus, I get "You Oughta Know" stuck in my head

yes this was my first thought too

There's something really charming and idiosyncratic about his music, but I'm not sure it's going to translate into the commercial success he's aiming for. If he wants to keep writing weirdo pop odes to his wife that's fine by me though, I like them a lot.

gotta have Meek Mill on the remix

would be better as an avicii sample

i love this song :/

which one, "levels"?

it's really catchy but has enough bad ideas in it that i feel kind of dumb when it gets stuck in my head

it kinda didn't really take off huh

his top 40 run may have just been an amuse-bouche for the weeknd's

actually, double-checked and "levels" is still rising up the charts - moved up from #56 to #46 this week. can't count it out yet.

yeah it's getting a lot of pop radio adds right now, i don't think it'll be as big as "Jealous" or anything but i think it'll do alright and keep things moving for him

yeah it's not a flop or anything but it's been a slow mover

when i first heard it i thought it might have put him on a sort of second album ariana grande track but i guess not

i was wondering recently what's up w/ him cuz "jealous" was huge & he has fame credentials but he still was stuck doing the vmas preshow as tori kelly did the mainstage and his first ever tv performance of "levels" was on seth meyers and not the tonight show

hard out there for a pat boone at #8 when little richard's at #1

dude's got some hooks but does anyone actually buy his "now i'm dark & sexy" shtick for a second?

i don't but i don't think he even really inhabits it enough for ppl to see the failure

yeah he's pulling off tindr&b well enough to have some hits, but he can't even compete with Sideshow Schlub in the charisma dept. somewhere deep down he just wants to make lite funk with the new power generation again.

This is very Drake, take that how you will:

omg those moves are shameless

meekly raises hand

i'm going to pretend like that new song doesn't exist though

i.e area code

We thought "Levels" was overall lame. I tend to think there are few things worse in pop than failed lightness, i.e. a guy who wants to be Bobby Brown but sounds like Glenn Medeiros.

based on the way things are gaining it does look like "levels" will be a hit

kinda surprised tho b/c it sounds so... weak

going to disagree with you there

the announcement video for the single's upcoming premiere was better than the single

RIP Nick Jonas' shred career

lol at how 'area code' just dropped off the end of the earth

and lol ^ at the above. he really is such a plank of wood.

he'll run for office one day; calling it now.

i don't think "Area Code" was ever worked to radio or anything, it came out while they were still pushing "Levels" (which got a big push and stiffed for real)

Well it had a video!

Levels is so good

Pro tip: It is too high to sing at karaoke if you are a baritone
