LONDON (Reuters) – Nagbabalik si Joe Jonas, dating miyembro ng Jonas Brothers, kasama ang bandang DNCE, na ang adult lyrics at funk-pop tunes ay malayo sa kanyang pinaggalingang teen boy band sa Disney Channel pop rock trio.

Ang DNCE ay binubuo ni Jonas bilang lead singer, kasama sina JinJoo Lee bilang gitarista, bassist at keyboardist Cole Whittle at drummer si Jack Lawless na nakatrabaho ng Jonas Brothers.

“Our sound is definitely different from anything I think we’ve all done before,” pahayag ni Jonas sa isang panayam kasama ang banda. “We’ve all really kind of agreed upon funk, dance and kind of rock music and that’s where we pull our biggest inspiration.”

Pumasok ang debut single ng DNCE na Cake By The Ocean sa No. 9 ng Billboard Hot 100 chart at kasalukuyang binubuo ng banda ang kanilang album.

“The record is going to be… a handful of 10, 12, 13 snapshots of just… what the DNCE world is,” ani Whittle.

“It’s romantic, it’s fun, it’s messy, it’s party, it’s sexual, it’s ‘Animal House’ the band,” aniya, tinutukoy ang comedy film.

Ang Jonas Brothers na binuo nina Kevin, Joe, at Nick ay nagsimula noong 2005 at mabilis na sumikat sa kanilang upbeat pop rock songs. Nagkawatak-watak sila noong 2013.

Simula noon ay nag-solo na lang si Nick at naging bida sa pelikulang Goat na ipinalabas sa film festival ng Berlin nitong nakaraang buwan.

“It’s very difficult to… reinvent yourself or come back with new music in this music industry,” ani Jonas. “So the fact we’ve got our own audiences and fans and we both have our own things going for ourselves, we definitely feel proud.”

Nang tanungin kung posibleng magkaroon ng reunion ang Jonas Brothers, ayon kay Jonas: “I think if the time found itself in a creative way, maybe.”

“I don’t think you can say never because you never know. I think we’re both so focused on our individual paths and DNCE is just getting started… we have a long road ahead of us.”
