Nick Jonas Is Really Going Through Some Stuff in the "Area Code" Video
Is the rapidly evolving Nick Jonas gunning for Future's spot, Drake's throne, both, neither? The trappy beat and Auto-Tuned debauchery of "Area Code" are whispering yesto most of the above. But this song's been sitting on Soundcloud for a month (the only other track on the JoBro's account is his cover of Kanye's "Only One"), so let's focus on the new video first.
Nick Jonas is filmed in black and white, in a hoodie, hair and beard hyper-trim, doing Aubrey-ish moves in the snow (rain?), eventually pounding his head in frustration a few times. It ends with him going onstage to a crowd of zillions and leaving in a helicopter. Fin.
