During this time, they self - released their debut EP, Ambassadors EP, creating a music video for its lead single, `` Tropisms ''. Shortly after, the band self - released its debut LP, Litost, which included the song `` Litost '', which would later be used on the soundtrack for The Host. The band signed a music publishing deal in 2012 with SONGS Music Publishing. The band started a Kickstarter account to shoot a video for the lead single, `` Unconsolable, '' which would be re-recorded later. The group was noticed by Imagine Dragons while frontman Dan Reynolds was sick in the hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. Reynolds heard an acoustic version of `` Unconsolable '' on 96X WROX - FM and asked Interscope to sign the band as soon as possible. 2013 -- 14 : Love Songs Drug Songs EP and the Reason EP X Ambassadors released their debut major label EP, Love Songs Drug Songs in 2013. The EP included the track `` Stranger '' co-written by Dan Reynolds. In promotion of the EP they toured supporting Imagine Dragons, Jimmy Eat World and The Mowglis. In 2014, the band released a second major label EP, The Reason. In promotion of the new EP, X Ambassadors supported Panic ! at the Disco and Imagine Dragons on their respective tours. They also featured in The Knocks ' single `` Comfortable '' from their second EP with the same name. 2015 -- 16 : VHS and the Knocks collaboration VHS is X Ambassadors ' debut LP. The album was released June 30 via digital download, vinyl record and CD. The album features 20 tracks, including 7 interludes and 3 previously released songs for a total of 10 new songs. The album features collaborations with Jamie N Commons and Imagine Dragons. X Ambassadors appeared as a collaboration on their earlier title `` Comfortable '' with The Knocks ', which was originally released back in 2013, as part of the duo 's debut album, entitled 55, which was released in March 2016. However, later on in the year, X Ambassadors lead singer Sam Harris was reunited with the duo in their new collaboration, entitled `` Heat '', which was released in October 2016. On June 20, 2016, the band announced that Feldshuh would be taking an indefinite hiatus from the band to deal with personal issues. 2017 -- present : Joyful X Ambassadors released four singles in 2017 : `` Hoping '' in March, `` Torches '' in April, `` The Devil You Know '' in June, and `` Ahead of Myself '' in July. They also performed at the 2017 National Scout Jamboree. X Ambassadors were featured in a song by Eminem, titled `` Bad Husband '', which was exclusively for his album Revival. The band was featured on a song titled `` Home '' on the soundtrack for the Netflix film Bright. The song also features pop singer Bebe Rexha and rapper Machine Gun Kelly. They released their second single entitled `` Joyful '' on January 26, 2018. Later that day they announced their second album Joyful through their Instagram accounts and pre-orders became available through their website. Musical style and influences In an interview with Caitlin White, X Ambassadors declared themselves distinctly rock with few characteristics commonly associated with indie bands. They referenced Incubus and the Red Hot Chili Peppers as heroes. These bands can be heard as influences on X Ambassadors ' sound. Philanthropy In January 2017, Sam Harris participated in the official Women 's March on Washington after - party. Harris was joined by The National, Ani DiFranco, Samantha Ronson, Sleater - Kinney, and many others. In March 2017, X Ambassadors performed a special show to benefit Planned Parenthood on International Women 's Day. Following the benefit show, X Ambassadors released the song `` Hoping '' on March 10. All proceeds from the song for the six months following its release were donated to the ACLU. In June 2017, X Ambassadors announced that they would donate all the proceeds from their Mississippi Coast Coliseum Show to Unity Mississippi - an LGBT charitable organization, following the announcement that the State of Mississippi signed HB 1523 - the `` Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act '' into law.
