Joe Jonas released his long-awaited sophomore solo album, Music For People Who Believe in Love, on Friday (May 23) via Republic Records.
Preceded by singles “Work It Out,” “What This Could Be” and “Heart By Heart,” the studio set arrives nearly a decade and a half after the Jonas Brothers heartthrob’s first solo offering with 2011’s Fastlife.
The new LP also features swooning focus track “Honeyblonde” as well as guest assists from a diverse roster of collaborators including DOMi and JD BECK (opener “Woven”), Sierra Ferrell (the country-tinged “Sip Your Wine”), Louane and Tiny Habits (“Hey Beautiful,” dedicated to his two daughters), Luísa Sonza (“What We Are”) and his youngest brother Franklin Jonas (“Velvet Sunshine”).

In between solo projects, Jonas has remained hard at work on other musical endeavors, releasing 2019’s Happiness Begins and 2023’s The Album with Kevin and Nick as well as a self-titled album in 2016 with his other band, the party-ready pop collective DNCE.
Ahead of the release of Music For People Who Believe in Love, Jonas spoke exclusively with Billboard about creating the body of work under his own name and his hopes for how it will touch the lives of his fans.
“It was scary at times, and also freeing,” he said in an August 2024 interview. “I’m not trying to come for anyone on this album. I’m not trying to put stuff on blast. I have a beautiful life that I’m grateful for. I’ve got two beautiful kids. I’m a happy person, and the music needed to resemble that — but also, the journey to get here…At the core of it, if this [album] helps people through what they’re going through, that’s all I can really wish for.”
