Nick Jonas has released his new solo album Sunday Best, his first solo project in five years, via Republic Records on February 6, 2026. The 12‑track album features acoustic‑leaning production and focuses on themes including adulthood, relationships and self‑reflection, according to official descriptions and early coverage. Critics note that the project moves away from glossy pop toward a more reflective and stripped‑back sound.
Jonas previewed Sunday Best at a “Sunday Best Brunch” event at Nellie’s Southern Kitchen in Las Vegas in late 2025, where a small group of fans heard early versions of songs such as “Sweet To Me,” “Handprints,” “You Got Me,” “911” and “Hope,” performed with a live choir. Since release, outlets including Billboard and Yahoo have highlighted that Jonas frames the album as a collection of “new stories” and “candid thoughts” drawn from the past several years of his life. A more detailed critical perspective is available in JubileeCast’s review of Sunday Best, which describes the album as “quietly assured” and “emotionally open.”
Beyond its sound, Sunday Best is also drawing attention for its artwork and personal subtext, including an album cover that subtly references Jonas’ long‑public journey with Type 1 diabetes by showing his continuous glucose monitor. In interviews and rollout coverage, he has framed the project as part of a broader effort to be more open about the experiences that have shaped him in recent years, from health to family life, while still keeping the focus on the music itself.
