Joe Jonas: 'Solo LP is dance-inspired'

Joe Jonas has revealed that his upcoming solo album is influenced by dance music.

The singer, who is working on his first record away from sibling trio Jonas Brothers, said the LP is inspired by the European electro scene, including Daft Punk and Frankmusik.

Discussing the DJs, he told MTV: "I love their music. There's a guy, called Frankmusik, out of London. A lot of electro DJs out in Europe are doing some cool stuff right now.

"I just listen to a bunch of stuff you dance to, kind of electro-based. A lot of stuff that's so amazing [that] you can create on the computer."

The star also revealed that he is working with producer Danja on the LP, who has previously worked with Britney Spears, Bjork and Nelly Furtado.

He explained: "To be able to go on a musical journey for a while and finally with finding Danja and working with him, we've been able to collaborate on something that really works for me.

"And to find me and not try to mold it into something it's not, to try and be myself and my music and kind of tell stories and be honest and just have something. When people hear it, hopefully they'll be able to dance to it and have a good time."
