The band also premieres an enigmatic music video
Launching another creative era, Imagine Dragons has returned with a new genre-smashing single entitled “Eyes Closed” and an accompanying music video via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope/Universal Music Canada.
This future-facing anthem co-mingles elements of alternative, rap, electronic, and rock. Industrial production bumps beneath deftly rhymed verses laced with swaggering attitude. Against a backdrop of gritty hip-hop beat-craft spiked with jarring synths and string swells, frontman Dan Reynolds charges forward with unapologetic and uncompromising cadences that culminate with a confident proclamation, “I could do this with my eyes closed.”
“After taking some time off the road and spending time catching up with family and loved ones, I finally have felt the desire to go back to the sonic places that originally brought me the most joy, but with a new outlook and mentality,” shares frontman Dan Reynolds. “The world looks much different after being a band for more than a decade. But some things will always remain the same. It’s finding that right balance of nostalgia and freshness that brings me the most joy in the studio. We had a lot of fun making this one and hope you enjoy it too.”
The group last released “Children of the Sky (a Starfield song),” inspired by the blockbuster Sci-Fi role-playing game, Starfield. Their hit single “Bad Liar” just crossed one billion Spotify streams, enshrining Imagine Dragons as “the first group to score ten songs in excess of one billion streams on Spotify.”
Additional new music is coming soon from the band.
