At the Billboard Music Awards tonight, Nick Jonas did double duty. Not only did the JoBro host the award show, but he also joined his brothers for a performance of their collaboration with the masked DJ sensation Marshmello, “Leave Before You Love Me.” Nick is balancing his musical career with the band he has with his brothers Joe and Kevin, and the three obviously have the juggling act down pat now, having just released his own solo album, Spaceman.
Even if things between the brothers weren’t always as easy as they are now as they grew up in the spotlight and experienced tremendous fame together, it’s evident from this show that they are stronger than ever. This song is a sweet and slow ballad, punctuated by an earworm chorus, with Marshmello rocking out on keys the whole time, departing from their more conventional pop sound.
Closing out the show with their performance of “Leave Before You Love Me,” with Marshmellow, that song leads into a mashup of “Sucker,” “Only Human,” “Remember This,” and “What A Man Gotta Do.” For their performance, the band was introduced by none other than Kelsea Ballerini, who is going on tour with them this summer for an epic country crossover.
