“S.O.S!” The Jonas Brothers are “Burnin’ up” all the social media feeds as they announced they were reuniting after their six long year break up. They dropped the news unexpectedly, and surprised their fans with their new single “Sucker” at midnight on March 1st. I bet you all the college girls were popping champagne when the clock struck twelve. This was a celebration of a new and improved Jonas that we all been waiting for. The humorous brothers uploaded a nostalgic Instagram post where they recreated their famous “Oh how the tables have turned” meme. The party confetti burst and the banner that writes “Hello again” rolls down which officially confirms their reunion.
Warning! Don’t let your teenage dreams run too wild since it will just lead to disappointment. The title of Mrs. Jonas have been taken and seems like the boys are happy with their decision. Along with the Jonas Brothers we have their wives, Danielle Jonas, Priyanka Chopra and Sophie Turner feature in the Alice in Wonderland inspired music video. The former Disney stars are now more mature and no longer singing about lost love and break-ups. They left behind their more edgier power pop sound and replaced it with an R&B/ pop vibe. Which gives me the Maroon 5 feels. Nick’s falsetto and pillowy soft voice took centre stage, while Joe took over the catchy chorus. This song was definitely meant to be placed on the top 40. I mean the pop hooks, hand claps and whistling are the perfect recipe for a catchy tune. Their cheeky lyrics would have been scandalous for such pure boys to sing 6 years ago. They are now given the freedom to express their emotions without being monitored by Disney. The fans who also grew up with them can also appreciate their more risque lyrics, and not be so concerned about their purity rings.
Nick confessed in James Corden Carpool karaoke that this comeback was kept a secret for 8 months. This bomb that they dropped on us definitely brought back some good old feels, and childhood memories. It’s good to finally have all the brothers playing music, and harmonizing back together again.
