Fall is looming its cool and crispy head around the corner, but Nick Jonas made sure to slip his fans one last summer anthem.
After weeks of grueling teaser after teasers from the singer-songwriter, including a mini clip of "Levels" released yesterday, Nick has finally released the full-length track for fans. The disco and funk tinged pop track is definitely a toe-tapper if not dance anthem. The song delights in a fun bouncy medley, sure to listeners out of their seat.
"Levels" features the various ranges of the 22-year old singer, especially in contrast to the bass-line and the underlying beat-boxed rhythm a-la Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk."
Nick's same sexy falsettos and higher octave notes, which resonated with listeners from his previous chart-topper, "Chains," are highlighted in "Levels."
With lines like, "Get on my elevator, baby we're going up/ Give me that now and later, I can't get enough/ So much to discover, please don't stop me now - don't stop me/ Every time I touch you, you lift right off the ground," are sure to have the ladies swooning while the funky beat is infectious for all ages to hit the dance floor.
The song blends 70's funk and modern pop music. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly earlier this year, Nick touched on the importance of being able to capture the ear of a varied audience. "The great thing about songs that a large group of people can connect to is that, it sort of breaks down some of the walls of feeling like they can't like it for whatever reason," he confessed. "That's been the big goal this last year and a half, to break some of the perceptions down and rebuild."
The nearly 3-minute bouncy summer song will be featured on his upcoming LP. If fans can hang on just a little bit longer, they an expect a full length music video on Aug. 30, plus a performance of the new single at MTV's Video Music Award on the same day.
After all that teasing and a double whammy of Nick Jonas, goodness! Fans, seems like Aug. 30 is a day for the books.
