The Nick Jonas single: it takes a few listens

  • February 5, 2010
  • Popjustice

As you may have read elsewhere, Nick Jonas has a solo single coming out. It's called 'Who I Am' and it's one of those ludicrous but semi-catchy "ooh listen to me 'n' my serious tunes I'm more than just an idiot out a boyband" numbers.

As you can see from the sleeve below, Nick has 'risen above the madness of the city' (ie he is away from all those screaming girls — he is a musician!) and is now just a wandering minstrel.

Observe:

» The scarf!
» The beaten up leather jacket!
» The guitar!

We're in deepest, darkest troubadour territory here, readers. 

But how good is the song?

So good they've put it on the CD single FOUR TIMES IN A ROW.

We love how it's the radio edit three times, then the album version just to mix things up.

GAME IDEA:
'NICK JONAS ROULETTE'
Put the CD on in random shuffle mode.
When the album version comes on, perform a forfeit. 
The End. 

Could this be the format to save the music industry?

No.
