We need to talk about Nick Jonas, who’s joined the list of Disney stars who grew up hot.
Just five years ago, Nick Jonas was still wielding a guitar and wearing a purity ring as one-third of Jonas Brothers. Following the band’s split, Nick seemingly dropped off our radars until a couple of years ago, when he returned to the spotlight with the single “Jealous”, a six-pack, and a more grownup (read: sexy) image. So forgive us for being excited about his latest album, Last Year Was Complicated.
Featuring a stellar list of collaborators including Tove Lo, Ty Dolla $ign and Big Sean, it seems like this album is going to be packed with smooth vocals and sexy beats. This strongly reminds us of Justin Timberlake during his “SexyBack era” – and well, honestly, there’s no complaints there.
Last Year Was Complicated is due for release on June 10 on iTunes for $12.98.
ARIANA GRANDE – DANGEROUS WOMAN
Say what you want about Ariana Grande, but there’s no denying this girl is ultra-talented. If anyone needs further proof, please watch her musical impressions on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon or Saturday Night Live (that J-Law moment she mimics!). She might have played it safe with catchy, made-for-radio pop tunes on her last album, but we love that she’s leading this album with “Dangerous Woman” as the title track. Mark our words, this sultry ballad might just be the song of the year, even though it’s quite different from your usual formulaic, chart-friendly tune.

Avicii
STORIES
Avicii is one of my favourite artists to listen to when I’m trying to lift heavier weights. Try “Waiting For Love” to give you that extra push! Other notable tracks on this album include "The Nights" and "The Days".
Sam Smith
IN THE LONELY HOUR
Long runs and cardio sessions are my personal reflection time, and Sam Smith is my go-to singer. The vocals and lyrics are perfect for when I need to clear my thoughts. My favourite tracks are “Latch” and “Restart”.
Bruno Mars
UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX
The upbeat melody on tracks like “Treasure” makes this album perfect for HIIT sessions. That, and the song “Runaway Baby” from his debut album, have been on heavy rotation for me for the longest time.
