What is the Jonas Brothers' album about?
Aftermany ups and downs in their career, the Jonas Brothers told TODAYthis album reflects where they are as artists today. “I think this one does a good job of embodying kind of where we are as fathers, where we are as husbands and just brothers,” Nick said.
“We set out to just say, if you’re gonna listen to any one of our albums we think this is the album you should listen to,” he added. “This is the one that is the most quintessential Jonas Brothers.”
Kevin added that the album showcases how the brothers have found the perfect balance with their music, including letting themselves have more fun. “I do think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves when we were younger to get it all right,” Kevin said. “I think now we just kind of do what we need to do to have fun and continue making music that we love, and I think that’s why it’s working.”

What genre is the Jonas Brothers' new album?
“They were a huge influence in our lives, growing up and listening to them with our father,” Kevin said of the band known for hits such as “Stayin' Alive” and “You Should Be Dancing.” He continued, “Obviously, as we grew up being three brothers in a band, we definitely understood similarities.”
In addition to having a ’70s sound, Joe added that “there’s a lot more acoustic guitar and real organic instruments that tap into a bunch of different influences” on the album.
“We’re aware of the fact that we’re not a country act,” he said of their new sound. “Jon flipped it on its head — he’s got a modern edge to everything he does, even if it has really classic elements.”

Teasing some of the upcoming songs on the album, the brothers revealed that their respective spouses andparenthood largely influenced their new lyrics.
“‘Vacation Eyes’ is based on how my relationship started withmy wife [Danielle],” Kevin toldVarietyof his favorite track. “We met on vacation — and continuing that love story every single day is how I want to live my life. It makes me want to be on the beach! It’s just such a fun song about enjoying life.”
As for Nick’s favorites? “I’m torn between ‘Little Bird,’ which is a song about parenthood that will affect people in different ways, and ‘Waffle House’ … [which] was a last-minute addition. At first, it was a bit of a head-scratcher, but the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. I think it really encapsulates a moment in time for us. Musically it taps into some of my favorites: Doobie Brothers and Bee Gees, and others from that era. It’s a really, really, fun song. We can’t wait to play it live.”
When will the Jonas Brothers' new album be released?
The album was originally scheduled to be released on May 5, 2023, however,the Jonas Brothers moved the date back a weekto May 12, 2023.
“Sometimes the best projects take a little bit longer than originally planned. We’re moving THE ALBUM release date back one week to May 12th and releasing it on vinyl too,” the group wrote on Twitter.
