Kevin Cossom says he and producer Danja are giving the Jonas Brother ‘a lane’ of his own. By James Dinh Joe Jonas Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images Alongside his brothers, Joe Jonas captured the hearts and lungs of a legion of young female admirers in recent years. But his audience may change a little when the Disney star releases his first solo album, according to singer/songwriter Kevin Cossom. “We’re just trying to give him a little edge,” the on-the-rise Cossom told YRB magazine of working with producer Danja on Jonas’ music. “He’s getting a little older now, and I’m just giving him a little edge, but giving him a lane. The stuff is coming out really good. As you know, Danja, he’s so versatile as far as being a producer.” Having worked with chart toppers Britney Spears (“Gimme More”), Pink (“Sober”) and Diddy-Dirty Money (“Hello Good Morning”), Danja may be the man to help the teen star make a musical transition into adulthood. “[Danja’s] very versatile, so the sound is a mixture of a lot of different things, but it’s definitely something that’s coming together,” Cossum said of the solo Jonas LP “He’s definitely going solo, getting older.” In addition to Jonas, Cossum has work lined up for Keri Hilson, Justin Bieber and Mary J. Blige. He’s also finishing up work on his own debut album, LOVE (Levels of Various Emotions). Jonas has previously said he is working on “a

Britney Spears’ Next Album Will Be ‘Hard-Hitting,’ Danja Says

The producer reveals he’s in pre-production on pop star’s LP; Darkchild also teases Gaga-esque ‘hits’ for Spears, in new online video. By James Dinh Britney Spears Photo: Jeremy Cowart/ WireImage Britney Spears has kept quiet since wrapping up her Circus Tour, a 97-date extravaganza that took her around the world last year. But according to some of the producers helping to prep her next album, it won’t be long before we hear from the pop star again. In fact, a musical storm is brewing, and producer/songwriter Danja told Rap-Up TV of what to expect from Spears’ next project. “We’re getting things together,” Danja revealed. The pair have collaborated on Spears’ last two LPs, and Danja is the man responsible for giving Brit her comeback single “Gimme More.” “I’ve actually been doing tracks that I love, and I can’t wait to go into full production mode, but more or so [we’re in] pre-production than anything,” he said. Asked what direction the pop princess’ material will take, the producer said it was hard to tell; things tended to be unpredictable in the studio. “We can start one way and end up a totally different way, I really don’t know,” Danja told Rap-Up TV. “I’m definitely gonna do my part and try to make it hard-hitting, uptempo, high-energy. That’s what I think we need and that’s what I’m gonna shoot for.” While Danja has worked with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the producer revealed that the chemistry between him and Spears is “so easy and fun.” “It’s one of the easiest — probably the easiest — sessions I’ve had in my career, so I’m looking forward to getting back in,” he gushed. And after all the commotion that erupted after Spears’ demo version of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” leaked online, it’s maybe not surprising that Darkchild is also onboard for the singer’s next album. The hitmaker, who penned and produced the Gaga/Beyonc
