By Christina Garibaldi (@ChristinaGrbldi)Joe Jonas is gearing up for a very busy fall: He’s heading out on the road with Jay Sean for a 19-city tour; his first solo album, Fast Life, hits stores October 11, and then he’ll jet off with Britney Spears for the European leg of her Femme Fatale Tour. Though his single, “See No More,” has been out for months, and he’s been performing all over the place lately, there’s still a chance this Jonas brother’s new sound might surprise his longtime fans.
“The biggest difference is a little bit more urban and dance electronic stuff,” Jonas told MTV News at the mtvU VMA Concert to Benefit Lifebeat – Music Fights HIV. “I’ve been influenced by a lot of different artists throughout my life and this is my opportunity to kind of show the world a little bit more about what I like writing and what I like coming up with musically.”
If he’s delivering that kind of sound, fans will probably expect him to show off his dance moves onstage, and Jonas says he’s been working to perfect them for quite some time.
“It was a little bit difficult in the beginning to feel comfortable with it,” Jonas said of learning his dance steps. ” I’ve been rehearsing for a little over a year with Marty, who’s a choreographer I work with, and he’s made me feel a lot more comfortable onstage, a lot more comfortable in my own skin, which made the whole process 100 percent better.”
Just last week, Jonas unveiled Fast Life’s album cover, which he said is the perfect representation of the upcoming release.
“We had a couple of photo shoots trying to decide which direction we wanted to go in,” Jonas said of the album cover. “And just kind of came together with having a really cool background and explaining Fast Life.”
So what do those words mean for Jonas?
“I think my life has been so crazy busy for the past year and a half, and I kind of wanted to show people a little bit more of what my life is about, bring them into it a little bit more, so that’s been a fun experience.” Jonas said.

Joe Jonas and Jay Sean won’t commit to performing together when the two hit the road Sept. 6 in Boston for an 18-date North American tour. “There’s something to be said for surprises and not giving anything way,” Sean told reporters during a conference call to promote the co-headlining run.
But the idea of creating some music together does intrigue both artists.
“I think it would be awesome to come up with something on the road,” Jonas said. “There’s a studio bus I’ve used in the past. I can see getting on the road and us creating music together. I think that I’d definitely be open to doing something.” Sean added that, “I never say no to something. You never know unless you try… All I know is we’re definitely going to have a lot of fun on the road, so who knows?”
Regardless of what they do together, Jonas and Sean with both have plenty of new music to offer fans during the tour. Jonas’ first solo album, “FastLife,” comes out after the trek, on Oct. 11, but he’s already released the Chris Brown-featuring first single, “See No More,” and leaked a bit of another song, “Just Love.” He told Billboard.com that he’ll be “relying on YouTube” clips of early tour performances to help familiarize fans with the new material — as well as a Jonas Brothers medley that will be part of his shows. “Playing new music, people are going to be listening to it,” Jonas added. “It’s gonna be more watching than anything. Luckily with our day and age people are able to learn lyrics online from YouTube rather than having to steal it, which is always nice.”
Jonas described “FastLife” as “a bit more urban, hip-hop and dance stuff I’ve never really done with my brothers. I was able to go in a different route and try some new sounds.” Lyrically, he said, he tried to “challenge myself..to be more honest in my lyrics and taking that bigger leap.” Jonas said he worked on the album with a number of different producers, including Nate “Danja” Hills, and he also alluded to guest collaborations that he’s keeping “under wraps” for now but promised they’d be revealed “sooner rather than later.”
Jonas says that “timing” allowed him to work on “FastLife” outside of the sibling trio. “It seemed like an appropriate time for all of us to take off” from the group, he said. Jonas worked on the album for a year, explaining that, “I wanted to spend a little more time in the studio and discover something..I’ve always been intrigued to go on my own path to create something different I’ve always been into kind of dance music and electro music, hip-hop music. Once I found the time, I was excited to go for it. Luckily my brothers have been very supportive, and I’m pumped to release this content.”
As for the Jonas Brothers, Joe predicted that the group would probably work together again “in the next two years. It could be six months, it could be two years. It all depends on the success of this album and how far it will carry out.”
Jay Sean, meanwhile, will have one new release for the tour — a mixtape called “The Mistress” that comes out Sept. 6 — while his fourth studio album, “Freeze Time,” is due out later this year. ” ‘Freeze Time’ should be called ‘Too Much Time,’ to be honest,” Sean cracked about the follow-up to 2009′s “All or Nothing.” “It’s my fourth album, so I wanted to get it right. I wanted it to sound like a combination of songs that is timely now, today. I didn’t want it to get dated. While I was making it music was changing so much. I didn’t want to just have an album full of music that was just recent.” He said the set will have “uptempo, uplifting, positive songs…We’ve got that pop element in there, and also the heavy R&B backbone which is really my roots…’Freeze Time’ is going to be a mixture of pop and dance and R&B.” Pitbull is the only guest he mentioned, on a song he described as “absolutely a club smash.”
He considers “The Mistress” “a passion project” that he “could put out in the meantime for the fans to say thank you for the wait” for “Freeze Time.” “It’s not geared towards the charts or radio or fitting the current climate,” Sean adds. “It’s more of a grown-up project, a little bit more explicit, very, very super honest lyrics based around a theme of promiscuity, love, sex, love triangles.” “The Mistress” features Lupe Fiasco on “a neo soul sound…a whole different type of sound America hasn’t heard from me.”

Joe Jonas may be gearing up for a summer tour and the release his album FastLife, but it looks like he has big screen aspirations as well.
Joe has been developing the project for months and he tells E! News he was thrilled when he heard the film was financed.
He says, “I was in Mexico City last week and my manager called me and said, ‘The movie’s financed!’ I was, like, in tears.”
But he isn’t giving much away about the plot: “The storyline is still bare bones, but I will say he (my character) has a specific dream that he wants to accomplish, and it’s the good and the bad he has to go through to get there.”
The script is being written by Robert Munic, who co-wrote Channing Tatum’s 2009 movie Fighting.
COMMENT BELOW: Are you excited to see Joe on the big screen?

Joe Jonas is no stranger to touring and living life on the road. He’s been doing it for years with his brothers and now he’s getting ready to embark on a co-headling tour with Jay Sean.
Packing your life into a bus for anywhere from a month to a year can be very difficult. Some times you just have to pack the essentials. So what does Joe have to have on the road with him? When he dropped by our studio last week, we had to ask! Take a peek at the video for the answer.
Joe also did a live chat with Meaghan Martin on Friday and you can now check out all the highlights. And if you missed Joe explaining the meaning behind the name of his album Fastlife and more, you can catch up here.

Britney Spears and Joe Jonas are going to be spending a lot of time together this fall when he opens for the pop princess during the European leg of her Femme Fatale tour.
Perhaps going into the studio together could be next?
Jonas sure hopes so. He exclusively tells me…
He’d love to record with Ms. Spears. “I would be honored,” Jonas told me last night before going on stage at the House of Blues for the mtvU VMA concert benefiting Lifebeat (brother Nick Jonas was in the audience to support). “If the song was right, if the idea was right? Definitely!”
“It’s been a thought before,” the “See No More” singer continued. “It would be so cool. I think our music would work well together with what I’ve doing and what she’s been doing for so long.”
But for now, he’s got touring and his debut solo album Fast Life (dropping Oct. 11) to think about. He’ll soon kick off a 19-city tour with Jay Sean before jumping overseas with Brit.
“I love touring,” Jonas said. “I’m looking forward to getting on the road again. It’s such a fun process. I love it. You get into a routine: New city, workout, hang out with friends, sound check, chill a little bit and then do a show and get back on the bus.”
I’ve got much more for you from Mr. Jonas. Make sure to come back here later on to find out what he told me about, well, so many things.

Even with all the fierce fashion our favourite female style stars rocked at today’s MTV VMAs, it was hard to ignore what the boys brought to the table. Justin Bieber wowed in red pants and a classic blazer, Kanye West did double denim, Taylor Lautner looked sleek and sexy in his suit jacket, Ne-Yo played it cool in a v-neck sweater and fedora, and Joe Jonas dressed up his jeans with a smoking jacket. These handsome fellas gave us a lot to be excited about on the VMAs black carpet, so let’s hear it for the boys: which dapper dude gets your vote for best dressed of the night?
