Nick Jonas On The Administration ALBUM

Nick Jonas On The Administration ALBUM

Nick Jonas & the Administration, which features former members of Prince's New Power Generation, will release their album, Who I Am, on Feb. 2. The group will make its live debut performing a single of the same name on the Grammy Nominations Concert Live! special Dec. 2 on CBS.

Nick told USA Today: 'I had written five or six songs that were on my heart, things that were just pouring out of me with this new and exciting sound. They weren't necessarily right for the Jonas Brothers, but I thought they could be perfect for something else.'

Nick made the album in eight days with producer John Fields, who also played bass. Additional members include drummer Michael Bland, keyboardist Tommy Barbarella, guitarist David Ryan Harris & Sonny Thompson.

Nick describes the sound as 'Heart & Soul. It's a cross between my roots in R&B and soul with a kind of rock/pop music behind it. We would set up in individual booths and play simultaneously. There are very few overdubs on the record. Some songs are full live. It has a raw, late-'60s/early-'70s rock/soul sound.'

Song titles inlude: The Rose Garden, Olive & An Arrow, Conspiracy Theory and State of Emergency, plays off of Nick's fascination with the presidency. World War III initially was intended as an Administration song. Who I Am includes a remake of the Jonas Brothers hit Tonight.

On breakup rumors: 'It's kind of funny when you hear the breakup talk and you're gearing up to have a really busy year.' Nick plans an Administration tour in early 2010.

Rich Port said:

i actually can't wait for this album. Nick is very talented and i think it was a good idea for him to do a solo. I like the Jonas Brothers too but i want to see how Nick would work alone. As for the breakup rumors i doubt they'll be breaking up anytime soon i mean they are at their peak right now! But of course sooner or later they will break up or fade away like any other band. So feb.2 can't wait!!! although that whole "Nick Jonas and the Administration" yea that band name really sucks lol

Yessss! He's the only Disney kid/young hollywood star I really actually find likable. I know a lot of people can't stand his voice--but I love it! It's odd and unique. Yea, he's different and he may be more in love with his music than he was with his past girlfriends, but god damn is he talented! LOVED the preview, cannot wait for the whole album.

It depends if his songs are upbeat and catchy because if their not i think some of the Fans will lose interest. He will sell good but not as good as Miley shes the HBICIN head bitch in charge including nick

i hate it when they put a picture of him next to a serious business article, because i end up just staring at the picture and not paying any attention to what's written.

but i digress.

i genuinely do think the kid is talented and i want to hear what he's put together. i like the jonas brothers but i can tell that this will be a different sort of sound, one closer to the music that i usually listen to. bring it on.
