I don’t know about you, but I always looked at the Jonas Brothers as these rich-bratty brothers who got in with Disney early-on because of their parents, and that they are just kind of robotic, puppet-like people in general…but hottest brother Joe Jonas just might be cool according to his interview with MTV.

Jonas told MTV that he is working on a new solo album, and it’s not what you would expect at all. Jonas said that he is inspired by musicians like Daft Punk and Justice, and that he wants his album to have an “electro” sound. Jonas said, “I think for me the biggest influences are Daft Punk,” he explained to MTV News in the middle of a recording session, with music producer “Danja” by his side. He added, “I love their music. There’s a guy, Frankmusik, out of London, a lot of electro DJs out in Europe are doing some cool stuff right now.”

In order for Jonas to obtain this certain sound, he hired on producer “Danja” for the new album, who produces cutting-edge tracks for all of the hottest artists. Jonas lastly admitted that he firstly planned for the album to be more organic and adult-contemporary like, but then after he saw “Tron: Legacy”, he felt the vibe to change his album into a new direction.

Although he going in a totally new direction with his sound, Jonas still wants the messages/lyrics to be revolved around his life, he wants to be himself, and he wants to tell his own stories and just be honest. “When people hear it, hopefully they’ll be able to dance to it and have a good time” Jonas said.
