Nick Jonas and the Administration Who I Am / Who I Am Jonas Brothers’ fans, don’t be alarmed: The group isn’t breaking up. Nevertheless, guitarist/vocalist Nick Jonas doesn’t do too badly in his solo project’s first single. While not a quantum leap forward,’ ‘Who I Am’ is an effective pop-rock song with ample portions of harmony and passion.

While this works as well as it always has, when the song prescribes to meter shifts and complex harmonies in its bridges, the result feels distinctly superfluous. Luckily, with a running time less than three minutes, the combination of old and new keeps the Campesinos’ mania interesting. ‘
