  • Imagine Dragons Release New Album — Evolve — Via Kidinakorner / Interscope Records
    For Immediate Release IMAGINE DRAGONS RELEASE NEW ALBUM — EVOLVE — VIA KIDINAKORNER / INTERSCOPE RECORDS BAND BRINGS DYNAMIC LIVE SHOW TO ARENAS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA WITH THE EVOLVE TOUR THIS FALL May 9th, 2017 — (Santa Monica, CA) — Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning band Imagine Dragons will bring its electrifying live show to arenas across North America this fall with the Evolve Tour, produced by Live Nation. Watch the video for “Believer” HERE and “Thunder” HERE. “Believer” spent six consecutive weeks at No. 1 at Alternative Radio and broke a 13+ year record for number of spins at the format, besting the record previously held by Linkin Park’s “Faint” in 2003. TIME called “Believer” “another showstopper of an anthem,” while Entertainment Weekly noted its “thudding tribal drums, a massive shout along chorus, and a wicked bassline that’s the sonic equivalent of a slug to the gut.” Billboard called “Believer” “a whimsical-yet-authoritative anthem sure to turn even the most hesitant of optimists into a believer.” Imagine Dragons will kick off the Evolve Tour on September 26th in Phoenix, AZ, with Grouplove and K.Flay providing support. Formed in 2009 and featuring lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman, Imagine Dragons earned a grassroots following by independently releasing a series of EPs. After Alex Da Kid signed them to his KIDinaKORNER/Interscope label, the band made its major-label debut with the release of Continued Silence, a 2012 EP featuring the 2x platinum breakthrough single “It’s Time.” Night Visions arrived later that year and Imagine Dragons found themselves on a skyward trajectory that saw the album debut at No.

    Michael Bay's "TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION" to Feature an Original Song by the Grammy Award-Winning Band IMAGINE DRAGONS The Band Contributed Creatively in the Scoring Process with the Film's Composer Steve Jablonsky Will Perform Live at the Film's World Premiere in Hong Kong on June 19th HOLLYWOOD--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Director Michael Bay, film composer Steve Jablonsky and Paramount Pictures are collaborating with the Grammy Award-winning band IMAGINE DRAGONS to feature the band's original music in the upcoming film "TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION," one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. Following an early footage screening of the film, IMAGINE DRAGONS wrote the original song "BATTLE CRY," which Bay used in critical points in the film. Additionally, the band contributed original music during the scoring process by recording cues with Jablonsky, the film's composer, and Hans Zimmer, who assisted in the process. The collaboration resulted in added depth to the sound of the film. "We're incredibly lucky that Dan, Wayne, Ben and Daniel were available to work with us," says director Bay. "I remember being drawn to the emotion of 'Demons' and 'Radioactive' the first time I heard those songs, and I knew I wanted that same energy and heart for this movie. They've created a really epic, otherworldly sound for 'Battle Cry.'" "The TRANSFORMER franchise has set the bar for cinematic innovation over the years," says Alex Da Kid, label head at KIDinaKORNER records. "We are excited to collaborate with Michael Bay and Paramount Pictures and view this as an incredible global platform."

  • Skylar Grey, Along with Her Versions of Diddy-Dirty Money and Fiasco Hits She Co-Wrote
    JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2012 ISSUE MMUSICMAG.COM when her publisher introduced her to London-based producer Alex “da Kid” Grant. “When I heard Alex da Kid’s tracks, I knew I had found my partner in crime,” says the Wisconsin native, 26. “My favorite thing about working with him is that he’s not afraid to tell me when he doesn’t like something. Not that he’s always right, but it always pushes me to do my best work. In the past, most people liked everything I did, which didn’t allow me to grow.” Grey, Alex da Kid and Eminem penned the latter’s hit “Love the Way You Lie,” the best-selling single of 2010. Grey’s own recording of the song was released in January on the EP The Buried Sessions of Skylar Grey, along with her versions of Diddy-Dirty Money and Fiasco hits she co-wrote. “People were constantly asking me if I had full versions of these songs without the raps,” says Grey. “These three versions already existed, so I thought, ‘Why not record them?’ I didn’t want to make a big deal about it. I just put out the EP so P . R . Brown fans could have access.” The upcoming Invinsible embraces hip-hop beats, a more alternative pop sound and a fresh approach to the recording process. “In the past, I was a bit anti- new technology and recorded everything SKYLAR GREY with real instruments on tape. I thought that making music with computers was You know her voice from hip-hop hits—now it’s cheating,” Grey says.
