Joe Jonas has announced his second solo album.
The Jonas Brothers star will release 'Music For People Who Believe In Love' on October 18 via Republic Records, following up his solo debut 'Fastlife', which came out more than a decade ago.
Head below to stream the poppy, empowering first single from the project, Work It Out, which offers a catchy, upbeat chorus and marks his first new music since his split with Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner. It was co-written alongside collaborators Jason Evigan, Victoria Evigan, Blush, and Kane Ritchotte. Announcing the album, Jonas said:
"I am thrilled to share my new solo album with you – 'Music For People Who Believe In Love'. This album is a celebration of gratitude, hope, and love. These songs reflect on my life from a bird’s-eye view acknowledging the many blessings around me.
"When we take a moment to breathe, pause, and reflect on the positives, my hope is that we can find acceptance and ultimately peace in the present moment. It’s okay to cry and mourn a loss – it’s part of the process to take care of ourselves and eventually enables us to be there for the people we care about.
"This album speaks to the experiences of being a father, being a friend to oneself and others, and the happiness I’ve found in doing what I love for a living. I feel incredibly fortunate to travel the world and connect with people through my music, as well as having had the opportunity to work with some of the most talented musicians, songwriters, and producers on this project.
"A director I once worked with had a handwritten note above his camera during filming that asked, “What do you want them to feel?”. This question still resonates with me every time I step on stage or create new music. The ability to perform, connect deeply with an audience, and evoke positive emotions, or even healing, is a gift I cherish.
"This album is a reflection and celebration of life. I hope it brings you as much joy as it brought me creating it. Please enjoy!"
On the new cut, he continued: "Work It Out is a personal anthem for when I have intrusive or ruminating thoughts; to help break their spell and bring me back to living in the present. It’s only human to experience uncomfortable feelings; no one is 100% happy all the time. This is a song about getting out of your head and back to the person you really are."
Back in April, Jonas Brothers rescheduled their UK and European tour dates due to some "exciting projects", with the sibling trio now set to begin the European leg of The Tour in Belfast on September 9. Original tickets remain valid.
They released their most recent LP, 'The Album', in May 2023.
