Joe Jonas is finally bringing his fans what they’ve been waiting for—a brand-new solo album! Nearly a year after first announcing it, his highly anticipated LP, Music for People Who Believe in Love, is officially set to drop on May 23. The Jonas Brothers star took to social media on Wednesday to break the news, giving his followers a sneak glanceat the album’s vinyl edition in a short but exciting video.
A Long-Awaited Release
Fans who’ve been eagerly waiting for new music from Joe can finally mark their calendars! The singer originally planned to release the album on October 18 last year but decided to push it back. Now, after months of anticipation, the wait is almost over. Jonas kept things simple yet heartfelt when he made the announcement, captioning his post, "Thank you for your patience. Music For People Who Believe In Love. May 23rd!"
In the clip, he carefully places the vinyl record on a turntable, letting fans see the physical album up close before it officially lands in their hands. He also included pre-save links and pre-order options for both CD and vinyl editions, building up the excitement for his upcoming solo project.
The Meaning Behind the Music
Joe Jonas isn’t just releasing an album—he’s sharing a deeply personal journey with his fans. When he first introduced Music for People Who Believe in Love last year, he described it as a heartfelt reflection on gratitude, hope, and love.
"The songs take a bird’s-eye view of my life, acknowledging the many blessings around me. It’s about being a father, being a friend to myself and others, and ultimately finding joy in doing what I love for a living," he shared in a statement.
This album holds a special place in Jonas' heart, marking a new chapter in his career that’s both introspective and uplifting. It’s a celebration of the love he’s experienced, the friendships he’s built, and the personal growth he’s embraced over the years.
From Fastlife to Now
If you’ve been following Joe Jonas’ musical journey, you’ll know that this isn’t his first solo venture. His debut solo album, Fastlife, came out in 2011, showing a different side of him after years of success with the Jonas Brothers. Following that, he shifted gears and formed the funky pop-rock band DNCE, which quickly became known for their massive hit Cake by the Ocean in 2016.
Of course, Jonas eventually reunited with his brothers in 2019 for the Jonas Brothers' comeback album Happiness Begins, which was met with overwhelming success. They followed it up with The Album in 2023, proving that their magic as a trio was still very much alive. But now, Joe is stepping into the spotlight on his own once again, giving fans a deeper look into his artistic vision.
A Star-Studded Creative Process
Creating an album is no small feat, and Jonas had an incredible team of collaborators by his side. While speaking on the Therapuss With Jake Shane podcast, he revealed that he worked with an impressive lineup of musicians and producers, including Alexander 23, Justin Trainor, Tommy English, MUNA's Josette Maskin, and Paris Carney, among others.
One of the most interesting aspects of the album’s creation? The speed at which it came together. "We made an album in two to three weeks," Jonas shared, emphasizing how the project flowed naturally in the studio. "It was just two rooms, all at once, and I'm just really excited. It's the most personal music I have ever put out."
Leading with Work It Out
Fans already got a taste of Music for People Who Believe in Love last summer when Jonas released Work It Out, the album’s lead single. The song gave listeners a glimpse into the vibe of the album—an emotionally rich yet upbeat sound that stays true to Jonas' signature style. While he’s experimented with different genres over the years, this project feels like the most authentic expression of who he is today.
What’s Next for Joe Jonas?
With the album just around the corner, it’s only natural to wonder what else Jonas has planned. Could a solo tour be on the horizon? Will there be more surprise singles leading up to the big release? While he hasn’t revealed all the details yet, one thing is certain—fans are in for a treat.
Joe Jonas is stepping into a new era of his music career, and he’s doing it with authenticity, passion, and, of course, love. Whether you’ve been a fan since the Jonas Brothers’ early days or discovered him through DNCE’s infectious energy, Music for People Who Believe in Love promises to be a soundtrack for anyone who values heartfelt storytelling and powerful melodies.
So, set your reminders, pre-save the album, and get ready to experience Joe Jonas like never before. May 23 can’t come soon enough!
