Pop Perspective: Nick Jonas & Tove Lo's "Close"
Our editors rate and review Nick Jonas and Tove Lo's new single "Close."

Nick Jonas and his guitar strike again. The 23-year-old, who went viral by missing the mark with a guitar solo at the American Country Awards, tried to put the gaff behind him on today’s (May 9) episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He strummed away during the intro to rising hit “Close,” but it still looked (and sounded) a little off. Perhaps, the singer should just let it go because the rest of the performance was great.

Duet partner Tove Lo couldn’t be there, but Nick carried the song without her — showing off his underrated vocal chops. “Close” is definitely a grower, so hopefully the performance will bring more people around to the slinky anthem. The Mattman & Robin-produced track is the first taste of the heartthrob’s new LP Last Year Was Complicated, which documents his break-up with ex-girlfriend Olivia Culpo. Watch him in action up top.
