Joe Jonas is ditching his brothers for a solo album, according to E! News.

A source tells the site that Joe, who is currently recording in the studio, "wants a more dangerous sound" and is hoping for a "sexier, Justin Timberlake vibe."

In addition to changing his sound, the middle JoeBro wants to ditch his usual shirt and tie for a more rugged T-Shirt and jeans look. Knowing how sexy he looks in jeans, sounds good to us!

Joe's upcoming CD is being labeled as a "side project," and in no way means that the Jonas Brothers are breaking up.

As for when the album will be hitting stores, a rep for Hollywood Records confirms, "We are planning for an early 2011 release."
