The Jonas Brothers' new single “Wings” is both an introduction and an invitation into the next chapter of their creative journey. Rather than offering the song as a definitive statement in and of itself, the group presents the song as the first opening in a much larger work to come. The release has an energy and optimism that is uplifting.
It combines the familiarity of what has come before with the thrill of new beginnings. It is a way to get the listeners in the door, while giving them a taste of where the band is headed. Selecting the first song to come out of a new project is never easy, especially for artists who are attached to every aspect of the work they create.
Joe Jonas spoke to Billboard about that struggle, saying, We didn’t really know what song to start with. We love all of them, and it’s hard to call it a single. That uncertainty stems from the emotional investment in the project and the band’s connection to the material as a whole. The track was not selected for commercial expectation, but simply because it was a natural prototype to the atmosphere and energy of the larger release.
