Jonas Brothers

The road to new music for the Jonas Brothers began a little more than a year ago, with discussions about what form a reunion might take. But before those discussions could get too far, some healing was necessary. The trio announced a split in 2013, after four studio albums, two Disney TV movies, two seasons of a TV series, and non-stop touring had made them into a phenomenon that more often than not drowned out the music itself. But though all three agree good things have come from the split, there were still a lot of feelings to work through. “We were having conversations we’d never really had,” says Joe. Adds Nick, “We did a lot of healing as a family. Healing that was long overdue.”
