DNCE (album)

DNCE is the debut studio album by American band DNCE. It was released through Republic Records on November 18, 2016. The album features a sole guest appearance from Kent Jones. Production was handled by Ilya, Rami Yacoub, Albin Nedler, Kristoffer Fogelmark, Mattman & Robin, OzGo, Oscar Holter, Sir Nolan, Mailbox, and Aaron Zuckerman. DNCE is a dance-pop album with influences of new wave, dance-rock, disco, and alternative pop. It was supported by only one single, "Body Moves", which was released on September 30, 2016. DNCE serves as the follow-up to the band's debut extended play, Swaay (2015), in which three of its songs are included on the album: singles "Cake by the Ocean" and "Toothbrush", and "Pay My Rent", while "Jinx" appears on its Japanese edition. Upon release, the album was met with generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised lead singer Joe Jonas' maturity and the band's mainstream appeal. DNCE debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200, but performed only moderately well on the album charts in other countries, earning its highest international peak in Australia at number 32.
