Nick Jonas discussed his upcoming album during his recent speaker session at Cannes Lions. According to the "Jealous" hitmaker, the new method of music consumption gave him artistic freedom.

Nick explained, "At first there was a little fear in this new, very progressive way that people were receiving and listening to music, how it was going to affect us in compensation as artists, as songwriters, as producers but also how it would change the traditional album model."

"I can sort of experiment with different things and sort of jump around a bit and be a bit of a scatterbrain creatively, which is exciting," he continued, "I think this new age in music is something to embrace and it just empowers everybody."

Nick's next album will be a more upbeat sound. "I think for the fan experience coming to the shows where the songs are a bit more uptempo and brighter will be better than the breakup album I released last year. It's time for some positivity, I think," he shared.

Nick released two solo albums, including "Nick Jonas" (2014) and "Last Year Was Complicated" (2016).
