In an interview with Billboard, lead singer Dan Reynolds stated that the group would be on hiatus for the remainder of the year, explaining `` We ( Imagine Dragons ) have n't stopped in, like, six years, so we 've forced ourselves to at least take a year off. '' Throughout 2016, the band contributed songs to the soundtracks for Me Before You, Suicide Squad and Passengers, as well as playing at several shows. The band first began teasing their third album on September 13, 2016, with a picture of guitarist Wayne Sermon in the band 's recording studio and continued releasing cryptic messages over the next four months. On January 24, 2017, the band tweeted `` goodnight + '', effectively ending the Smoke + Mirrors album cycle. Composition Reynolds had noted that the album, compared to Night Visions and Smoke + Mirrors, is `` an evolution for Imagine Dragons ''. The album 's sound has been described as pop rock while containing elements of R&B, hip hop and EDM. Promotion In the months leading up to the album 's release, Imagine Dragons used the caption `` ƎE '' in multiple social media posts. The group announced the title of their third album on May 8, and started the album pre-order along with the release of `` Whatever It Takes '' at 9 PM PT. Singles Starting on January 28, the band tweeted a series of four videos to tease the album 's first single. The time - lapse videos featured lead singer Dan Reynolds drawing surreal images on a drawing pad. Morse code was hidden in the videos and translated to `` objects of same color ''. On February 1, `` Believer '' was released as the lead single. To promote the single, it was used in a Super Bowl LI commercial for the Nintendo Switch. It was also used in the trailer for the reboot of Murder on the Orient Express. The song has since peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. Its music video starring Reynolds and actor Dolph Lundgren was released on March 7. On April 27, `` Thunder '' was released as the second single. It has so far peaked at number 45 on the Hot 100. The music video was filmed in Dubai and directed by Joseph Kahn, and was released on May 2. Promotional singles On May 9, corresponding with the album 's pre-order release, `` Whatever It Takes '' was released as a promotional single and reached 92 on the Hot 100. On June 15, `` Walking the Wire '' was made available for download with any purchase from the band 's online shop. The song was accidentally released onto YouTube and Vevo a day earlier than planned, only to be taken down within a few hours. Tour On May 9, 2017, the band announced on Twitter the Evolve World Tour, which is slated to start on September 26, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona. The tour will be produced by Live Nation, with Grouplove and K. Flay as special guests. Critical reception This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it.
