DNCE: Putting the colour back into pop

Dance-pop act DNCE have scored a global hit with their debut single Cake By The Ocean.

“We want to bring some fun and energy to the crowds out there,” says Joe Jonas, former teen heartthrob and frontman of freshly-minted pop band DNCE.

He’s on a mission to put quirkiness and positivity back into the top 40, as exemplified by the springy funk-pop of his group’s new single Cake By The Ocean.

Intended as a soft launch for the quartet, the song spread by word of mouth until it reached the top 10 around the world. In the UK, it has been the most-played song on the radio for the last three weeks.

“It’s been insane to see the reaction,” Jonas marvels. “It’s been on the radio in the States for seven months!”

Success has swept the band off their feet. Their debut album was delayed as they booked awards shows and music festivals.
