In the past, the Jonas Brothers have been "Burnin' Up" and calling for an "SOS" when it came to their love lives — er, we mean, singles — but now the guys are just plain "Paranoid."
And on Tuesday, they Tweeted that they recently finished work on the video for the new song, the first single from their upcoming album Lines, Vines and Trying Times. "And that would be a wrap on the 'Paranoid' music video," they wrote, adding a picture of themselves on the set, looking quite happy with their work.
The video was directed by the Malloys, who worked with the brothers on their "Burnin' Up" music video. The song is set for radio release on Friday with the video premiere sometime after that, reports Aceshowbiz.com. A 30-second snippet of the song that leaked to the Web shows the song's similarity to their others — it's another catchy, pop-rock tune, this time with the boys singing about, well, being paranoid.
The boys have said that the new album, set for release on June 16, is their most personal work so far. "We're really proud of it. It's a good step for who we are as musicians," Joe Jonas told MTV News. "As we get older, so does our music. There's a lot more horns, and it's really fun. I think people are going to be able to jam out to it in their cars or their mom's cars ... or their boom boxes."
The group got a publicity boost from an unexpected source this week, when dance-pop singer Lady Gaga compared the frenzy surrounding the JoBros to the one brought about by the Beatles back in the 1960s. "[The Beatles] were responsible for the birth of the sexual revolution for women," she told British tab the Daily Star. "Now we have the Jonas Brothers representing the return of the superfan."
