Imagine Dragons have recruited J Balvin for a new version of their hit single “Eyes Closed,” which arrived with a collaborative music video directed by longtime band partner Matt Eastin.
Smashing stylistic boundaries, the future-facing anthem co-mingles elements of alternative, rap, electronic, and rock with a hint of reggaeton. Industrial production bumps beneath deftly rhymed verses laced with swaggering attitude.
Against a head-nodding rap groove and string swells, frontman Dan Reynolds croons with unapologetic and uncompromising passion. He sings: “I could do this with my eyes closed.”
Meanwhile, Balvin’s vibrant Latin flair intertwines seamlessly with Imagine Dragon’s uplifting sound to deliver a genre-smashing bilingual hit. Check it out below.
The band will release their hotly awaited sixth full-length album, LOOM on June 28 via KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records.
In tandem with the record, the band will embark on their biggest North American headline tour to date. Descending upon legendary venues across the country, it kicks off on July 30 in Camden, NJ at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, rolls through major markets coast-to-coast, and concludes on October 22, 2024 at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl.
Imagine Dragons’ sixth studio album LOOM represents the pinnacle of their artistic journey of self-discovery. The album, produced entirely by Imagine Dragons and their longtime collaborators Mattman and Robin, finds the perfect balance between the classic sounds that have made them superstars and the freshness that brought them joy in the studio.
Featuring nine brand new tracks including hit single “Eyes Closed,” LOOM signifies new beginnings on the horizon—the excitement for a new day, moments yet to come.
Last year, the members of Imagine Dragons found themselves with a rare and well-deserved break from the road. They made the most of it by devoting that time to family and friends. Catalyzed by this respite with a refreshed perspective, the band rallied together in the studio and mined the same well of inspiration that fed their most beloved material.
