Back in 2013, Nick Jonas appeared on the reversible cover of FAULT Issue 16 as part of ‘The Jonas Brothers’, but now he’s out on his own and has just premiered the music video for his single ‘Chains’.

Produced by Jason Evigan, the track crescendos from a soft intro into a full-fledged RnB ballad. Fit with a kick drum-led beat and high pitched ad-libbing, it’s clear that Nick is trying something completely different now he’s gone solo and, to his merit, it’s worked. Regardless of how the song is received (although currently all signs point to positive), one of the riskiest moves musicians can make when going solo is to steer clear of your previous musical direction and pray that your fans follow.

 

If this track is anything to go by, we’ll be hearing a very different Nick Jonas in the future, with the expected release of his new solo album on the way. While it has yet to be given a release date, news that it will feature a duet with Demi Lovato has already made headlines worldwide!

 

Let us know what you think about the track and look out for more of Nick’s recording partner, Demi Lovato, in FAULT this Fall!
