Joe Jonas Filled With Angst In "See No More"

Joe Jonas acts out the heartbreaking end of a romantic chapter in the newly released debut video for his his first solo offering "See No More," the lead single from his upcoming solo debut, "Fast Life," is set to be released September 6. Yes, this is the first musical foray the middle of Jonas Brother trio is going it alone and he seems to be taking on a mature role to his new solo style both naturally and literally. He opens up in his new tracks, singing about life in the spotlight and the ups and downs of his relationships.
The 21-year-old penned the vulnerable break-up track with Chris Brown and Brian Kennedy, which surprised some as their backgrounds on the face of it are very different. However, Brown and Jonas both started out as teen stars before graduating to more adult material. Jonas said of his new work, "I think it's more so about how the emotions and the feelings that you are going through and how you're dealing with them and just displaying them in physical actions." He went on, "So it'll be the first really thought-out video that I've done."
The slickly produced, R&B-inflected track expresses Jonas's frustration at having to wait for his beloved to catch up with him, metaphorically speaking. "See No More" finds Jonas steering his solo career more toward urban-pop, hip-hop and electronica than his pop-rock past hits with the Jonas Brothers. The heartbreaker who inflicted all this emotional damage on our poor Jonas makes a couple of interpretative dance appearances, but other than that, Jonas is just going to have to work through the pain on his own. Not that there aren't plenty of girl folk out there who would be willing to help him through.
As you can imagine from the anguished lyrics, the steamy new video for "See No More" has the poor Paper cover guy looking upset over the betrayal he faces at the hands of his object of affection. It features Jonas wanders throughout an empty house haunted by a past relationship, and searching for a lost love. Ultimately, he burns her dress and the house he's in becomes engulfed in flames, as he walks the earth, braves the elements and moves on from a broken heart. When the album releases this fall, Jonas will have his moment to shine, and fans who grew up with the band will be able to see the young pop star in a new, adult light.
