Der er også et liv efter en Disney-sitcom. Miley Cyrus smed Hannah Montana ud og og sprang ud som sexkilling, men mindre kan også gøre det. Jonas Brothers var hus-band i "Camp Rock", men som soloartist er den 23-årige amerikanske sanger vokset med opgaven. Det her er Nick Jonas' tredje album, og som titlen antyder opsummerer det Nicks år 2015, hvor han brød med Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, efter et toårigt forhold. Den Justin Timberlake'ske stil er blevet raffineret, men vi befinder os stadig et sted imellem pop og r&b - og tættere på klubbens dansegulv end i de intime, smålumre lagner, andre mandlige r&b-kunstnere excellerer i. Det er en formel der virker for Nick, også når en Tove Lo synger for eller Ty Dolla Sign gæsterapper. Et personligt og varieret album fra en sanger med ubrudt teenage-appeal.

"We are dealing with a star whose looks and talent became mutually exclusive, and the package is so perfect that it has to live on every shelf, in every store, in every city, in every country. It's a little disappointing for fans who thought he might actually let things get a little, well-complicated".

"Nick Jonas is talking up his third full-length as a look back at his two-year relationship with former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, which fizzled out last June. As on any breakup album, regret and frustration predominate, and there are even flashes of bitterness, but the rhythms here are too brisk to give Jonas a chance to sulk ... And his supple falsetto, sounding wounded or seductive as required, allows him to stake out his own patch of territory on the border between pop and R&B".
