Yes, you heard me right. The Jonas Brothers are back, and arguably they have given us their best song yet. Released six years after the boys decided to pursue solo careers, ‘Sucker’ is an edgy love song about the loves in their lives.

Undoubtedly, the boys have grown up a lot since they last released music as a trio. With Kevin and Nick married, and Joe seemingly deeply in love, the boys are able to present a new dimension of love in this recent single, as opposed to the romantic songs they released in their teens and twenties. Whilst there aren’t many subliminal messages behind the creation of this song, the lyrics, and the accompanying video, clearly display the happiness the boys feel in their lives today, especially due to their ladies.

Famously, Nick married Priyanka Chopra in December of last year hence the lyric in the first verse ‘I’m feeling heat in December when you ‘round me’. As the rest of the song unfolds, it’s clear the boys were keen to dedicate this work to the women in their lives. For Kevin, this would be his wife of almost 10 years, Danielle; for Joe, his fiancé Sophie Turner. This is further emphasised by the aforementioned video, filmed in Hertfordshire, which features all three of these leading ladies in a slightly goofy, yet charming, depiction of an extravagant game of love.

Perhaps aptly release and the commencement of Women’s History Month, it is easy to say the boys have succeeded in leaving behind their image as teen icons with this edgy hit that has already earned its place on many people’s playlists. Give it a listen, and you won’t regret it; you might even feel like you are 10 years old again.

So Am I
Ava Max I ATL/WMA

"So Am I" is a song by American singer Ava Max, released on March 7, 2019, as written by Amanda Koci, Henry Walter, Maria Smith, Victor Thell, Gigi Grombacher & Rollo Spreckley & Was Produced by Cirkut."So Am I" was the most added song on radio the week following its release. "So Am I" is This Week's Hot Debut entering the Hot 100 at #52.

Ava Max’s all-conquering “Sweet But Psycho” is nothing short of a phenomenon. The perky electro-pop anthem reached number one in more than a dozen countries, racked up more than 400 million Spotify streams and is still climbing in the US. Now, she’s ready to do it all again with “So Am I.” Like her breakthrough single, the banger was produced by Cirkut and has a very relatable message. “Do you ever feel like a misfit, everything inside you is dark and twisted,” the 25-year-old sings on the chorus. “Oh, but it’s okay to be different, ’cause baby so am I.”

“[The song] is about loving yourself, being different, being an outcast and not fitting in the format that society wants to put us in - just celebrating what really makes you different,” Ava explains. “Whenever I’m feeling down, I remind myself that my flaws make me perfect, because in reality there is no perfect.” I asked the rising pop star if the message is based on real-life experience. “Definitely! I was expelled for standing up to a bully and I would do it again today,” she reveals. “It’s important for us all to celebrate our inner misfit.”

That experience explains her decision to set the video in a high school. “That’s where bullying begins and where we start feeling like we need to conform,” Ava elaborates. Another impressive element of the visual is the choreography, which was absent from the “Sweet But Psycho” video. “I love that form of self expression,” the hitmaker says in reference to dancing. “It gives me a way to speak in another language.” Oh, and as for that all-Albanian collaboration with Bebe Rexha, Dua Lipa and Rita Ora? Well, nothing has come of it yet. “We are all so busy!”
