Nick Jonas - Chains

Review by Valent Mustamin

Chains by Nick Jonas: A Dance-Pop Gem That Still Bangs Alright, so let’s talk about Chains, Nick Jonas’ slick 2014 release under Universal Music Group and Island Records. This isn’t your average cookie-cutter pop album—it dives headfirst into club vibes with its danceable beats and infectious hooks. The genres blur between Pop/Rock and straight-up Pop, but the style screams Club/Dance all over. It’s like Nick took everything he learned from his Disney days, added some swagger, and said, "Let’s make people move." Now, I gotta shout out two tracks that stuck in my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk: the OG version of “Chains” and the wild remix by Just A Gent. Why these? Because they’re fire—simple as that. First up, the original “Chains.” Man, this track hits different. Written by heavy hitters like Ammar Malik, Jason Evigan, and Darold Ferguson Jr., it’s got this pulsing beat that grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go. The lyrics are kinda cheeky, talking about being tied down but loving every second of it. You can tell Nick was stepping into his own here, ditching the squeaky-clean image for something grittier. Every time I hear it, I’m instantly transported to some neon-lit rooftop party where everyone’s vibing harder than they should on a Tuesday night. Then there’s the Just A Gent remix. Oh man, this one flips the script completely. It takes the already catchy tune and cranks it up to eleven with glitchy synths and an electro edge that feels like your headphones just grew legs and started dancing around your head. If the original is smooth confidence, this remix is chaotic fun. Honestly, it’s the kind of song that makes you wanna throw caution to the wind and bust a move—even if you’ve got two left feet. What I love most about Chains is how unapologetically bold it is. Nick wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; he was just making music that felt good to play loud. And honestly? Sometimes that’s all you need. Whether you’re cruising through Helsinki or stuck in traffic in North America (yeah, Mexico counts too), this album has a universal groove that works. But here’s the kicker—the whole thing leaves me wondering: why don’t more artists experiment with remixes like this anymore? Back then, dropping multiple versions of a hit single felt fresh and exciting. Now? It’s rare to see someone take such creative risks. Maybe we need another wave of Chains-style madness to remind us how fun music can be when it stops taking itself so seriously. So yeah, give Chains a spin. It might not change your life, but it’ll definitely get your body moving—and maybe even put a goofy grin on your face while doing it.
