Also being re to support each or in our individual lives, and what we care about, t think of it as a deterrent from group but part of it." He continued, "It kind of shows in video, we're bringing our family toger."
As Jonas Brors band disbanded, Kevin majorly tried to stay out of limelight and focused on his family, Joe continued to sing le songs with his band DNCE and Nick commenced on to have a solo career and married Priyanka Chopra in December last year
"It's kind of like coming out of retirement a little bit," Kevin said. "It took time to get back into music again, doing thing that was such a part of our life, but w it feels incredible to work toger again. I never thought it was going to happen because when people say, 'Things were b' y were. It's so cool to be supporting each or as individuals and to come back here w."
"re are things that are a challenge, like remembering certain lyrics, and or things, but what Joe spoke about too, magic, I can't stress that eugh too," he said. " benchmarks I've h in my career never ded up to what I h with my brors." He also mentioned that playing toger as a band just came back naturally to us.
According to m, 'Sucker' is just start of what y have in store for ir fans.
"We've got a lot of songs that are recorded," Joe said. "When we figured out what sound was going to be like - balancing Nick's sound, DNCE's sound, and Kevin bringing so much heart into it - has been really incredible. It was just really important to blend three. We have 30-40 songs that we are excited to release, so I think in next few months you're going to hear more."
"We're trying to mix it up, fuse all of our different sounds toger, and mix rest of our music with older influences like Bee Gees, Stevie Wonder and Fleetwood Mac " he said.
A buzz about reunion of Jonas Brors started back in January 2018 when Instagram account of same was reactivated after almost five years. Although re were photos, videos or snapshots posted until Thursday when y officially anunced ir return.
