Imagine Dragons have announced that their highly anticipated new album, Mercury: Act I, will be released on September 3rd.

Though Imagine Dragons have been prepping their new album, they’ve also been releasing a slew of new music in addition to announcing a number of festival dates. Earlier this month, shared a new, upgraded version of “Follow You” – the ‘Summer 21′ version of the song. The dreamy new ‘Summer 21’ take of “Follow You” is accompanied with a new video. The updated take followed two new singles: the anthemic “Cutthroat” and the lush original take of “Follow You” in March. The new tracks marked the release of the Grammy-winning band’s first new music since 2018’s Origins.

The last few years have been fraught with personal struggles for the band members – particularly frontman Dan Reynolds, who announced in December 2019 that he was taking time away to focus on family and personal growth. Then the COVID-19 pandemic happened.

While the time off might have been more than he bargained for, it certainly proved to offer Reynolds and the band ample space for creativity. “It took walking away from everything to find a lot more clarity and happiness,” said Reynolds in a statement.
