At the height of his fame, when his three headed do-gooding sibling monster was rampaging through city streets lined with screaming tween fans, Joe Jonas was one of the most desired young men in show business. And he had the lady friend track record to prove it. Most famously, and then infamously, was his relationship with the then-budding superstar Taylor Swift.

That pairing, of course, ended quite swiftly, with what became the 27 second phone call heard round the world. Which led to the pair’s first collaboration, of sorts — the song “Forever & Always” is allegedly about the split. Which beget their second “duet”: the Jonas song “Much Better,” on their “Lines, Vines & Trying Times” album.

Now, a few years later and embarking on a solo career, Joe says he’s ready to put the past behind him and work on a song with Swift — one on which they actually team up, not take shots at each other.

“I think there’s a great opportunity for that to happen,” Jonas said in a new interview with Bliss Magazine (via Anything Disney). “We’re friendly, we’re not enemies. People like to think that once you’ve dated, that’s it and you can never be friends again. They see it in a very black and white way. But there’s a middle-ground in that situation.”

That situation, Jonas said, takes time to hash out.

“I’d have to say that in order to save a friendship, you need to be yourself,” he explained. “Sadly it’s not always possible, but I was brought up to be a good guy and I hope that shows. These things take time too. You can’t be friends with someone immediately after a break up. It’s not an overnight situation. Everyone needs some time to heal and figure it all out.”

If they are indeed at that point, well, it would be sweet to see them reach a new stage of musical maturity and team up like that. Wouldn’t be bad publicity for his new solo album, either.

Joe Jonas’ ‘Just In Love With You’ Video Will Leave Fans ‘Shocked’
Singer says he was ‘really comfortable’ with his leading lady on set.
By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212)

Joe Jonas was recently in Paris shooting the music video for “Just in Love With You,” from his solo debut Fast Life, due in October. He made his way around the City of Lights for the clip and told MTV News at the New Jersey Femme Fatale Tour stop that he always wanted to have the chance to film one of his videos in the European city.

“I think they didn’t know what was going on, ’cause I didn’t announce I was doing a video,” he said of fan response to the upcoming clip. “I love Paris — it’s one of my favorite cities — and so to shoot a video in Paris was a dream come true.”

While he got to cross something off his bucket list, being on set wasn’t as easy as he would have liked. “I was the only one who spoke English on the whole set,” he recalled. “So many times I’m like, ‘Are we going?’ It was a lot of fun. I think fans are going to be shocked and excited to see the video.”

The middle JoBro caught fans’ attention when he was spotted getting romantic on the “Just in Love With You” set with a lovely French model. “She’s really sweet,” he said of his leading lady. “She lives in Paris. Her name’s Angele. Really great, really nice. We were really comfortable with each other on camera.”

The video will follow up Jonas’ fiery clip for “See No More,” but he said there was a time when it could have gone the other way around. “It’s the right follow-up [because] for a while, it was between [the two for first single] and I struggled with which one to go with for a while,” he said. “But I feel like ‘See No More’ is a good setup and ‘Just in Love With You’ is a fun-vibe song.”

Are you excited for more music from Joe’s solo debut? Let us know in the comments!

It looks like we’ll have to wait a little big longer for Joe Jonas’ solo debut Fast Life.

The album was original scheduled to drop in September but it looks like we’ll now have to wait until October. Joe tweeted this morning, “This just in… I will be performing at the @BritneySpears concert in NJ on Aug 5. and get ready for #FastLife in stores Oct. 11.”

While we have to wait for the album, how cool is it that Joe gets to open for Britney?!?! Congrats Joe!

Joe has been one busy guy lately. Not only has he been promoting his single “See No More” all over the world, but he just filmed his music video for “Just In Love With You” in the most romantic city of all…Paris! We can’t wait for that video!

Fetch me my fainting couch, y’all, ’cause I’m about to passsss outttt over here. Joe Jonas is currently in Paris filming the video for his upcoming single “Just In Love With You,” and shockingly, he looks super handsome while doing so. He also managed to find a little time to get fresh with his co-star, BUT WE’RE NOT GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT (or acknowledge that it happened). What we are gonna talk about is the fact that Joe Jonas is hella reminding me of Jon Hamm in “Mad Men,” and about how dreams really do come true.

From what we can gather from the video set, “Just In Love With You” is based in the 20s (did they have cars then LOL) or some other olden day times that involved hats and mustaches and people calling cops “the heat” and stuff like that. In other words, this is my ultimate fantasy! Modern day sensibilities mixed with old school fashion and design?! JACKPOT. Keep this up, Joe Jonas! For the love of all that is holy, keep this up.

The solo JoBro says hello.

Joe Jonas has gone out on his own and released See No More into the waiting arms of the world. With his debut solo album Fast Life to follow later this year it’s only natural that we should have a catch up with him to see how he’s doing.

He’s in the middle of shooting his new video in Paris, but has to remain pretty hushed up about it.

“I can’t give anything away!” he protested when we tried to (probably not so subtly) squeeze some information out of him.

“The biggest clue is that it’s in Paris.”

Alright Joe, we’re imagining you chomping on a croissant and swinging from the top of the Eiffel Tower wearing a beret and a string of onions. Not to be stereotypical or anything.

The JoBro also told us that he was really chuffed with See No More and the response to it from his fans.

“I wasn’t so much nervous as I was excited before I put it out,” he told us.

“I’d been working on it for so long I just couldn’t wait to see the reaction, and now with the Internet you can get one so quickly, it’s great.”

“Chris Brown co-wrote the song and it was really great working with him, I’d love to work with him again – but would also love to work with people like Adele and Tinie Tempah.

“I think my music fits in the urban, dance scene.”

Well love, apparently Adele and Tinie Tempah will be collaborating with each other soon so all you’ve gotta do is get yourself invited along to that party, squeeze yourself in the middle and hey presto. You can sack your manager now and hire us if you want.

Joe’s single See No More is available to download from August 7th, and you can watch the video for it here.

There are some things you don’t expect Joe Jonas to say – things like the lyrics to Love Slayer, for instance.

Maybe you’ve already heard that track; YouTube clips of the electropop jam have been circulating since the middle Jonas brother debuted it live at a showcase in Chicago this summer. (The song’s expected to turn up on his solo debut, Fast Life, a club-geared work in progress that’s due to arrive in September.) And the tune is all about “that one girl who, I guess, is the bad girl. You know, that everyone at one point might wants to be with, or is attracted to,” the 21-year-old cheerily explains during a July trip through Toronto.

So how does a 21-year-old man – one known to plug purity rings – react to such a brazen hussy?

“Most likely, I’ll be on my worst behaviour,” he sneers in the chorus. “She’ll keep you up all night, but I’m ready to stay up.”

Innuendo, anyone? A new wardrobe of distressed designer denim and leather jackets? Solo Joe Jonas seems to be out to play the good-boygone-bad.

“That’s kind of my idea for the record,” says the singer, a member of his staff keeping close watch over the polite conversation. “I kind of like to shock people sometimes, because I feel like – I feel they have expectations of what I’m supposed to sound like.”

And those expectations would be?

“I figure, just pop music. Just very standard pop music,” he says. “I’m going from Disney to a more mature record, and having that experience, I think a lot of people might think, OK, this record might be a little bit – bubble-gum pop.”

Certainly, you could call his past output with the Jonas Brothers as much. After forming the group with younger brother Nick (now busy with his own blues-rock solo project, Nick Jonas and the Administration) and older brother Kevin, the trio released four albums, were nominated for a Grammy, inspired their own Disney TV series (JONAS L.A.’s final season wrapped last year), starred in two Disney Channel Camp Rock movies – to say nothing of the merchandising.

The Jonas Brothers have been on temporary hiatus since last year, however, although Jonas suggests he and his brothers will return. And when he was initially faced with all that new-found me-time, Jonas says he opted to go into the studio.

“At the beginning of last year, I was working on a project with a totally different sound to it,” he says. “It was a very Michael Buble-esque record, and as the time progressed, I just started writing on my own and realized I could go on a route that was the kind of music I’d been listening to, which was a lot of stuff that DJs are doing these days, or some of my favourite artists – kind of that urban dance music.”

Jonas lists off his faves, some of the more boldfaced names of the indiepop sphere: Temper Trap, Foster the People, Chromeo.

Justin Timberlake, however, would seem to be the more obvious influence – at least going off the few Fast Life songs previewed to music and media types the day before this interview. And that’s not just because of the career (and wardrobe) similarities. The title track is a slice of dance-pop that would seem to owe much to Timberlake’s FutureSex/ LoveSounds (2006).

Fast Life’s production team – frequent Timbaland collaborator Danja and Rob Knox – have both worked with Timberlake (Danja on that aforementioned JT disc; Knox is a member of production group, The Y’s, with Timberlake). But whatever the sum of Fast Life’s parts proves to be, Jonas is clear that this album is all about him – and the experience of growing up pop.

“I feel like it’s a little bit of an older record, a coming-of-age record, and it talks about real stuff that I’ve been going through, and (I hope) an older audience will be into it,” he says.

“I wrote songs about girls, a relationship with a girl who doesn’t speak the same language as you,” he says of an “Latin feel” album track called Body Language. The title song, he says, “was inspired by L.A., just the busy city, running around, having fun. New York: I think that was where more of the romantic songs (were written), just the kind of slower songs. It all started out there. New York can be a romantic city.

“On my own, I could really just speak about everything: from good to bad relationships, to the fans, to travelling, my perspective of what life was about,” says Jonas of the experience of making the album, his first without his brothers/bandmates’ input.

Jonas describes the songs as “honest” and “therapeutic” a few times, though he draws a distinction between being honest and over-sharing.

The songs on Fast Life won’t name names, as confessional as they are, he says. “Some songs, some people name names, and it’s the best song in the world. In my mind, I try to be the kind of artist who doesn’t name names, because it gives the audience a way to really relate to the song,” Jonas says. “I wanted people to say, ‘I’ve been in that situation and I gotcha.’

“It’s just fun,” says Jonas of the album, “just a lot of fun.”

Sexxxy innuendo? A new wardrobe of distressed designer denim and leather jackets? Solo Joe Jonas seems to be out to play the good boy gone bad.

Sure, those “Love Slayer” come-ons don’t approach the same levels of coming-of-age scandal as 99.9 per cent of what other former Mouse Housers have had hacked off their iPhones. But “shock” can be a relative term — and shock is what Jonas says he’s out to do with a track like that one.

“That’s kind of my idea for the record,” says the singer, bright-eyed — a member of his staff keeping close watch over the polite conversation. “I kind of like to shock people sometimes because I feel like — I feel they have expectations of what I’m supposed to sound like.”

The songs on Fast Life won’t name names, as confessional as they are, he says. “Some songs, some people name names and it’s the best song in the world.

Joe Jonas says that he wasn’t worried about working with Chris Brown, despite the R&B star’s controversial reputation.

Speaking to Monkey from Orange, the Jonas Brothers star admits that they “stuck to the music” while working together and that he admires the Yeah 3x singer’s musical talents. He said: “Luckily me and Chris just stuck to the music and he’s a talented musician. He’s incredible when it goes to making music… (so we just) focussed on that.”

He added: “I’m really fortunate to be able to work with him.”

Brown helped Jonas write his debut solo single See No More, a track which Joe says reflects what was going on in his personal life at the time. He explained: “I was going through a break-up and I wanted to be able to find the right things to say in the song. It’s that feeling of seeing everything that reminds you of that person. It could be an article of clothing, something she left at your house or… the way somebody smells… it’s hard to escape that memory. So you just don’t wanna see anything anymore.”

Check out the full interview on the Monkey from Orange website to hear Joe talking about his new look, what it’s like going it alone and the obscene number of shoes that he owns!
