Who wants to bet his first single will be called "Vampire Sweetheart"? After months of speculation, E! Online has confirmed that Joe Jonas will be following in the footsteps of younger bro Nick, as he plans to release a solo album sometime in 2011. Who would have thought the singer had any time to pen tunes with all that Ashley Greene lovin' going on?
E! Online spoke to a source at Hollywood Records who said Joe is working with "various writers and producers on music," adding, he "wants a more dangerous sound," much like a "sexier, Justin Timberlake" vibe.
In fact, it sounds like Joe will be changing his look to match his new sound, eschewing the band's dapper suit-and-tie ensembles for a rougher T-shirt and leather jacket look.
The solo album is just the latest project on Joe's schedule, which also includes several TV appearances, among them "90210" and an untitled Tom Hanks project.
Fans of the brother trio need not worry, though; the source insisted that the Jonas Brothers are "here to stay."
