    A joyous and undeniably fun album. Jonas has developed into a deeply self-aware and confident performer whose brightly hued and clever musical taste is on display throughout DNCE.

    Thankfully, the group ultimately finds its groove with retro, funk-heavy tracks like new single “Body Moves” and “Blown,” which is about exactly what you imagine it is. It’s better for the band—and everyone else--when they don’t overthink it.

    DNCE's greatest strength is never taking themselves too seriously--an underrated quality in pop music--and in the end, they find that of all the throwback funk, R&B and bubblegum sounds they try on, "fun" is ultimately the genre they have completely mastered.
