The Grammy-winning Las Vegas band follows up their global success Believer with new single Thunder.

With their characteristic mix of electronic and organic elements, Imagine Dragons stick to what their know on their new tune, Thunder.

With his bouncy lyrical deliver, Dan Reynolds gives some life to an otherwise rather dull tune. Imagine Dragon do capture several elements that are interesting in their own manner, but the stern beat and the safe-play on grandness seem a tad over-used and give little substance to the tune itself. “Feel the thunder”? Honestly, it’s more of a drizzle.

The visuals accompanying the recent release were filmed in Dubai. The black and white video vividly depicts the city life of the Eastern capital before delving into more surreal territory. With monsters and slightly odd placed sheep, the video is a bit of a clusterfuck of good intention and too many creative inputs. Though you do get to see some pretty rad dance moves.

Reynolds explains that:

‘Thunder’ is one of the last songs we wrote for the record after writing the majority of the songs with other producers. We finally felt like we had found cohesion/direction and went back to working with Alex Da Kid for a few weeks to write something together that fit this “new” direction. It deals very plainly with my desire to be free of my youth.

Thunder is out on KIDinaKORNER / Polydor Records.
