The post Imagine Dragons Announce June Release Date for New Album “Loom” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Imagine Dragons made an epic comeback with the genre-defying single “Eyes Closed” earlier this month – and there’s more where that came from! They officially announced the release of their sixth studio album Loom, which will be released on June 28 and feature a total of ten songs.
Imagine Dragons also shared a cover of their new album, which perfectly sums up its themes, according to the band’s frontman Dan Reynolds.
“You can’t really tell if it’s a sunset or a sunrise, and then there are two people kind of separated standing in front of it. That really kind of sums it up thematically when I listen to it, Is the beginning of something new, or is this the end of something?” Reynolds told The Associated Press.
Imagine Dragons are planning to celebrate the release of Loom by taking it on the road this summer. Their biggest North American headlining tour to date will kick off in Camden, NJ on June 20, and they’re planning to wrap it up with a concert at Los Angeles’ iconic Hollywood Bowl on October 22.

]]>The music video for the band’s latest song was directed by Andrew Donoho, and it looks straight out of Indian Jones movies. It sees the frontman Dan Reynolds embarking on an epic adventure in an ancient dreamlike world, but it’s later revealed these were just visions he was having after a car crash.
“Eyes Closed” is one of Imagine Dragons’ most experimental songs to date, and it blends together the elements of rap, rock, pop, and dubstep. Reynolds revealed its lyrics came together after the band took some time off the road, allowing him to go back to the sonic places that originally brought him the most joy.
“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,” said Reynolds in a statement.

]]>The post Best New Songs of the Week appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>This week saw Janelle Monáe tease her first album in five years—and the news was worth the wait. Her latest single “Lipstick Lover” is the week’s most exciting new release, and it’s in pretty good company.
Thirty Seconds To Mars also announced the release of their album It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day, and they gave us a taste of things to come with a new song “Stuck”. Queens of the Stone Age are also busy teasing their next album In Times New Roman…, and we finally know what to expect from this record after hearing the lead single “Emotion Sickness”.
It’s been a great week for rock bands in general, and you’ll have your ears blown away by the new songs from Imagine Dragons and Nothing But Thieves. Hip-hop fans should also get ready to add some new songs to their playlist since the likes of Lil Durk and. J. Cole releasing new music.

]]>The hilarious video opens with McElhenney and Olson entering The Venetian Theatre in Las Vegas to attend a concert. McElhenney expects to see The Killers because Olson promised him a show of his favorite band, only to find out that Imagine Dragons will be performing instead.
The band’s frontman Dan Reynolds released an official statement detailing the creative process behind their latest single. He described “Follow You” as a song about loyalty and love and said that he wanted to represent a love that isn’t perfect but still endures.
“Follow You” was released together with “Cutthroat”, which Reynolds described as the “exorcism of self-pity” and the thematic and sonic opposite of the first song. Both tracks are expected to be featured on the band’s upcoming fifth studio album, which serves as the follow-up to their 2018 record Origins.

]]>The post Foster The People’s Mark Foster Writes Wholesome Apology To Imagine Dragons appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Last year, Foster made a dig at the band, making a joke to iHeartRadio that he gives Foster The People’s rejected tracks to Imagine Dragons. Now, Foster has taken back his comments and has issued a public apology to Imagine Dragons and Dan Reynolds.
“I have been burdened by something I feel I need to amend,” he wrote on Twitter. “I would like to apologize to Dan Reynolds and his band Imagine Dragons. In a passing moment last year, I let some words come out of my mouth that don’t reflect who I am, or what I stand for.
“Everything that I have read about what Dan is doing as a humanitarian is moving. I believe he’s one of the good guys. It takes a lot of courage to stand for something…nobody has ever erected a statue of a critic.”
He then concluded: “Anybody who is trying to make the world more beautiful opens themselves up to criticism. Keep fighting the good fight, Dan. You have my pledge to work alongside you if you ever need a hand. Much respect to you and continued success in your music.”
Reynolds has since responded to the message saying “this means quite a lot to me” and that he has “nothing but love and support” to Foster and his band. The dragon added: “You didn’t have to put together something classy like this but it’s rad you did. Come over here and sit next to me (doo doo doo!).”
How wholesome is that?
