Imagine Dragons returns today with the release of the Las Vegas band’s fifth album, Mercury – Act 1. The project runs 13 tracks total and includes their recent singles, “Follow You” and “Cutthroat.” Rick Rubin serves as the executive producer.
“We did it with Rick Rubin, he was the executive producer and also produced the majority of the tracks, and we did it with him at Shangri-La in Malibu,” Dan Reynolds explained in a recent interview. “We just thought that we wanted to do something different, push ourselves to a different place, and so we threw a lot of different names and producers around and Rick was one that we all agreed would be a very interesting match.”
If somebody doesn’t know, Rick Rubin was that mastermind which produced Eminem’s Revival. lol
