J Music: Nick Jonas Performs Acoustic Version of “Jealous” on Elvis Duran

Even though I now have the privilege of listening to my books on tape during my morning commute (new car!), I caught the tail end of Nick Jonas’s interview with Elvis Duran last week, followed by his acoustic performance of “Jealous.” I have to say, after growing up on the Jonas Brothers I was a bit surprised by the R&B influences in the performance, but I also thought he sounded incredible, particularly at around 8 o’clock in the morning.

Here’s the full audio:


The acoustic version of the song plays up his wholesome tone, and is a bit of a contrast to the studio version which has more of an electro-pop feel. Check that out below.

I know the cynics will scoff at Nick Jonas latest release from his upcoming album, but am I allowed to say it’s fun?
