1st Single - Paranoid

Jonas Brothers' highly anticipated new album Lines, Vines and Trying Times is scheduled for release June 16, and the ramp up kicks off May 8 with the release of the first single, "Paranoid." On May 8, "Paranoid" will roll out to radio and online worldwide, and on Verizon for ring tones. The single will be available for digital download on iTunes staring May 12. The video for "Paranoid" will be directed by The Malloys, who previously worked with Jonas Brothers on their smash hit single and video "Burnin' Up."   

Lines, Vines and Trying Times showcases an incredible musical journey by the Jonas Brothers, as well as their growth as songwriters and musicians. They've incorporated horns into several songs, as well as harmonicas and peddle steel guitars. The first single, "Paranoid," is a guitar driven dance evoking song, and the entire CD is a veritable smorgasbord of pop and rock gems. "World War III" is a funk metaphor for a confrontational relationship. Written by Nick Jonas, he asserts, "This is a personal experience for me. 'World War III' deals with the challenge of a girl who keeps attacking you, provoking you, trying to fight you, but all the while she's the only one fighting." "Fly With Me" which is also the end title credit for the upcoming "Night At The Museum 2" film (due in theaters May 22), was written by Jonas Brothers and their bass player Greg Garbowsky, and is sure to become a love song for the ages. On "Poison Ivy" Jonas Brothers added a horn section. In their summer music preview issue, Rolling Stone described the ultracatchy "Poison Ivy" as a "Weezer-ish tune about a toxic girl that you can't resist." "Hey Baby" is a classic "she done him wrong" song written entirely by Jonas Brothers. "We wrote this song for the last record while on the road and felt the old school sound was more cohesive with our present style," explains Nick Jonas.   

With all these themes, it's easy to see how Jonas Brothers came up with the title Lines, Vines and Trying Times. Says Joe Jonas, "Lines are the "proverbial" lines people will feed you, and vines are obstacles that get in your way." Adds Kevin Jonas, "Trying Times can be relationships, or anything personal to you. No one is alone in that; we all go through it."

Nick's new blog entry

Hey everyone. I thought I would check in from my vacation, we were able to take a few days and relax before heading out on our world tour. Earlier in the month we put the finishing touches on our new CD! I am very proud of the work my brothers & I created. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

A couple weeks ago we did a show at the Atlantis in the Bahamas. We go back there for another performance in early May as well. My family just loves it there. In Addition to going back to the Bahamas, the beginning of May has some great things scheduled. May 1st, be sure to check out my appearance on the TV show “The Doctors”. It is a great segment about diabetes. Then on May 2nd our TV series JONAS debuts on the Disney Channel! It was a lot of fun filming that so we hope that you enjoy it. The rest of May I will be rehearsing for the upcoming world tour and then the first stop of the tour is in South America. We are going to some places that we have never seen before so we are really looking forward to it.

Bayer & I kicked off the NicksSimpleWins.com creativity contest this month and before I go I wanted to tell you that I am so impressed with the submissions we have received thus far. You all are truly a creative bunch of people and have so many different ways of expressing your talents. If you haven’t seen it, make sure you go to NicksSimpleWins.com to check out all the great submissions and vote for your favorite! We are picking a different winner each month.

Hey everyone!

Hope you are all doing great.  We have finished our new CD and TV show.  We are now enjoying some much needed time off.  It is amazing to stop and rest but we can't stop thinking about how much we want to sing and perform our new songs for you this year.

Next week will be the premiere of our new Disney Channel TV show, JONAS.  We really hope you love it.  We worked hard on it.  

There will be a lot of new stuff coming your way in the next few weeks.   There will be some real surprises.  Keep checking back for updates on MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, SayNow, etc.
