American pop sensations Jonas Brothers release their first single from their third album 'A Little Bit Longer' as a double a-side here in the UK. The single consists of 'Burnin' Up' and 'When You Look Me In The Eyes'.
'Burnin' Up' is a very dance pop-rock song and shows the trio filling a gap in the market that Busted left open, (Jonas Brothers even covered Busted's 'Year 3000'). It's not overly cheesy like their previous single 'S.O.S', it's fun and seems to be in a similar style to artists such as Hilary Duff, who manage to get the mixture of dance and pop-rock just right.
Second track 'When You Look Me In The Eyes', which is taken from their second self titled album, lets the double a-side down. The cheese level shoots back up for this smoochy ballad, which may appeal to younger female fans.
The band have the potential to do well and are already huge in the US, it just depends on how much publicity they do elsewhere to see if the Jonas Brothers Hype will travel the seas!
