Album Description:
Produced by John Fields (with Jon Lind and Kevin Jonas, Sr., serving as executive producers), 'A Little Bit Longer' covers much musical and emotional ground, kicking off with the joyful jam 'BB Good.' Says Joe of the track, 'It's a big sing-along song, and it's fun.' The funky and danceable debut single, 'Burnin' Up,' keeps the party going, with Big Rob, the brothers' hefty security guard, rapping midtrack. 'It's about this girl,' adds Joe. 'Maybe she's at a party, and you feel that immediate connection. You both know it's there.' Though relentlessly upbeat, most songs on 'A Little Bit Longer' explore star-crossed standoffs and missed romantic opportunities. Songs like 'Shelf,' the hard-rocking 'Pushin' Me Away' and 'One Man Show' survey love's unequal playing field, bad break-ups and the defiant isolation that follows. ''Shelf' is one my favorite songs on the record,' says Nick. 'Basically, it's about a girl that has a gallery of hearts.' Other songs take a light-hearted look at the craziness of fame and fortune. 'Video Girl' paints a portrait of the shallow wannabees dotting the entertainment landscape (' Move to L.A., got no talent/Not even like you won a Miss Teen pageant'), while 'Lovebug' starts out as sweet-tempered acoustic love song before ending up a crashing Queen-like rocker. Of course, the brothers made sure the album breathes. The power ballad 'Sorry' features classic JB harmonies and an eternal message of forgiveness. But the song that will have people talking is 'A Little Bit Longer,' Nick's stunning account of his struggle with diabetes. With strings underscoring a plaintive piano/vocal, he sings about his battle ('A little bit longer and I'll be fine/Waitin' on a cure/But none of them are sure'). Recalls Nick, 'I was having one of those days where I was discouraged. So I went into this empty hotel ballroom and wrote this song.' Adds brother Kevin, 'Nick sings this song every night and it brings people to tears. It's amazing.'
