DNCE

“DNCE”

(Republic)

Since the breakup of their squeaky-clean brother act in 2013, Joe and Nick Jonas have been locked in a battle to see who can leave more of their boyhood behind.

Last year Joe seemed to be winning with “Cake by the Ocean,” the suggestive debut single by his new funk-pop group DNCE. But then Nick put out an album with a song called “Bacon” that’s not really about breakfast. So now Joe’s back again with DNCE’s first full-length, and this time he’s dispensing with metaphor altogether: “I wanna be naked with you,” he sings, “We’ll leave our clothes on the floor, put a sock on the door.” Any questions?
