About the album

Twenty years after Kevin, Joe and Nick first played together in New Jersey, the Jonas Brothers marked the anniversary with Greetings from Your Hometown, a bright, sunny pop rock record that looks back with affection and ahead with plenty of energy. It follows The Album from 2023 and keeps that record's warm, 70s-tinged sound while adding a bit more guitar crunch. A long list of producers had a hand in it, but it still sounds like the three of them in a room together. The harmonies are as tight as ever, and the songs have the easy confidence of a band with nothing left to prove and plenty still to say.

"Love Me to Heaven" and "No Time to Talk" are the big, radio-ready choruses, "I Can't Lose" opens the record in good spirits, and the title track is a sweet, wistful postcard from the road. Dean Lewis, Switchfoot and Marshmello all drop by, and "Slow Motion" brings it home. It is easy, feel-good pop made by people who have been doing this a very long time and clearly still enjoy it. Matching outfits remain optional.
