Nick Jonas is showing off a sexy new look to match his sexy new sound for Flaunt Magazine ‘s Grind Issue, where he channels Calvin Klein ‘s 90s campaign starring Mark Wahlberg .
Inside, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter speaks on going solo, his forthcoming self-titled album and more.
Check out a few interview snippets and photos from his Yu Tsai – lensed shoot below.
On how right now is both a thrill and a little scary:
“I don’t want a day off. I want to keep pushing through. There are moments when there are things happening around you that you’re missing, but that’s life! It comes in seasons, and in waves, and you just gotta ride each one.”

On his upcoming album:
“I really try to be aware of the purpose of each song. There are songs on my record that I want people to have sex to, and songs people can listen to when they’re pissed off. And I think that’s the beautiful thing about music: that in those moments, you hear it and it elevates the scenario. Like, there’s something for every feeling and every emotion in life.”

On his advice from Michael Bland:
“Prince’s Michael Bland was talking to me one time on tour, and I was telling him a story about something, and he was like: ‘Oh, he was giving you chin music?’ It’s like, what? What are you talking about? And he was like, ‘It’s when someone gives you attitude. They give you that chin music.'” I went online and there are like 50 different definitions. The most popular one is baseball: someone throws something high inside it’s chin music. Kind of telling the batter to back up. I loved that as the best representation of the feeling in the song. You’re sorta like, hey, back up a little bit, when someone’s being too, you know, excited about your girlfriend.”
