Nick Jonas Enlists Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, & Allen Iverson for New Album
Nick Jonas is back. Less than two years after unleashing his self-titled album, the pop heartthrob has revealed the title, tracklisting, and release date for its follow-up, Last Year Was Complicated.
In a lengthy Kanye-like Twitter announcement, Jonas explained that this project has been a trying labor of love and heartache.
“I’ve been making this record for a year and a half… Pouring everything I have into it,” he wrote. “When I first started making I thought I knew what it would be about… Then I had a breakup. It then became very clear what this thing would be about… And that I would need to dig really deep.”
Digging deep was apparently difficult for Jonas, but he pushed through.
And the title of my new album coming out June 10th is..

Shit is too real sometimes… Reliving some of these real life experiences through this music is hard.

But I know it's important that I do it. I want to be an open book in my art..

While Nick didn’t name the official first single, which is slated to drop tonight, he did provide a hint about what it will focus on.
“The first song you’re gonna hear tomorrow night is about how I literally can’t open up and be vulnerable with someone,” he added, before revealing the tracklisting by calling every song “personal and meaningful.”
.@ToveLo @BigSean @tydollasign @alleniverson thank you for being apart of this body of work.
