![]() Joe: I was at the Nicks game the other day and Michael J. Fox at another game (Picture: James Devaney/Getty Images) Joe is counting on running into Michael J. The other night I was at the Met Gala which was super fun and it’s such a great ice breaker, just to go up, if you’ve seen someone’s work or you admire them in some way, just to say it! We’re all fans of each other and we’re all equal parts creative and artists, but also fans and consumers, so it’s always good to hear it from other people and we do our best to step outside our comfort zone and just say it. I got so nervous that I didn’t introduce myself, or meet him, or any of that stuff, but then I regretted it terribly for a long time and I said to myself, if I ever wanted to meet anyone ever again, I’d just walk right up to them, so I learned a lesson from that moment and it was good. I was a huge John Mayer fan growing up with the guitar, and we had a showcase early in our life when we were signed to Columbia, and he walked in the door. Kevin: Actually, one of my rules in life was to learn from this exact thing that happened. There are so many great songs over so many years that are huge influences for us, so we’re happy to be included! You’ve met a lot of fans over the years, but have you ever met one of your idols and had an awkward moment? Nick: Big boy band fans! Actually, we just saw on TikTok a mash-up of The 1975 and Backstreet Boys which was pretty fire, so maybe we’ll do something like that!īut I think it’s funny because we don’t really consider ourselves a boy band because we play instruments and we’re more of a man band, but we’re thrilled to be kind of lumped into that category. The Sucker hitmakers class themselves as a ‘man band’ nowadays (Picture: Jim Dyson/Getty Images) We set out with very clear intentions to make music that would translate live so things like Little Bird, Miracle, can’t wait to play that one, Summer Baby, are all feeling amazing and pretty special. ![]() But also, this new music is so fun to play live. Nick: Playing some of the old stuff is really special because it has a totally new meaning for our fans at this stage in all of our lives. You have five albums of material to perform now for fans, do you have favourite songs to sing live? It’s fun to reflect on it now the music is exactly where we are – we’re all meeting each other in a really similar place personally than we ever intended so it feels really authentic to where we are in our personal lives. And, as we’ve gotten older, our music has matured with us and it’s something we’re really proud of and we can celebrate those years now and we’re doing that on this next tour we’re going on. When we were younger, we sang about our early dating years, and we were singing songs that had words like ‘instant messenger’ and ‘high fives’ instead of ‘hugs,’ I don’t know! Funny, child, teen-like conversations around love and romance and dating. There have been songs we’ve played more frequently that make you think about the nostalgia of it all. Joe: It’s interesting because our fanbase has grown with us, which is something we’ve been looking at recently. When you compare The Album to your older material, how do you think you’ve evolved musically? You’ve been in the music industry for a long time now. It’s a really fun way for us to meet our fans in a place where they already are, right? It’s a way for us to really put music in their hands already and continue to just be Jonas ever-present, as we like to say. Kevin: Yeah my children are so excited, I think any time you can have a digital version of yourself it’s pretty fun, and this is just a feel-good thing. "I just find Ashley Graham so beautiful." Same, Joe.Īnd while YouTube can often be a platform for nasty misogynists to congregate - case in point: the dislikes bestowed upon the new Ghostbusters trailer - the comments section for "Toothbrush" has been wonderful, as fans explain how happy they are to see a woman with a body like Graham's in this context.The trio of siblings are all very competitive (Picture: Hamish Brown) "To be honest, we really only had one girl in mind," Jonas said. ![]() Jonas told Glamour that casting the gorgeous Graham, who also appeared on a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover this year, was a no-brainer. Miraculously, the song makes you think more about sex than bad breath, despite its title and refrain. In hazy light, Jonas and Graham cuddle, caress, make out, have a pillow fight, and generally give the impression that they're getting it on. ![]() Since its release, the video has been hailed as a win for body positivity and representation, thanks to a starring role for plus-size model Ashley Graham. Earlier this week, Joe Jonas' group DNCE debuted the new video for "Toothbrush," a jam about leaving that all-important self-care item at a lover's house.
