The Jonas Brothers keep foisting bops upon us, and it’s only been a month or so since they made their comeback. They’re back once more with an exciting new single with a more laid-back vibe, which is rolling in like salty summer sea air. “Cool” is a breezy, summery anthem that’s exactly everything its title implies, and is sure to please JoBros fans around the globe. If you’re an ’80s baby or just a huge fan of that era, you’re going to absolutely love the Miami Vice -themed video, too. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of aerobic outfits, massive boomboxes, and plenty of cologne to top things off – because we all know that’s how they did it in the ’80s.

We absolutely agree you are cool and would love to buy the “moves” that you’re bottling for a dollar or two. If only that meant we could be on the same level (the...
