Imagine Dragons join forces with multi-Latin GRAMMY award winner and global superstar J Balvin to share a new version of their hit single "Eyes Closed" (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope) and accompanying collaborative music video directed by longtime band partner Matt Eastin.
Smashing stylistic boundaries, the future-facing anthem co-mingles elements of alternative, rap, electronic, and rock with a hint of reggaeton. Industrial production bumps beneath deftly rhymed verses laced with swaggering attitude. Against a backdrop of gritty hip-hop beat-craft spiked with jarring synths and string swells, front man Dan Reynolds charges forward with unapologetic and uncompromising cadences that culminate with a confident proclamation, "I could do this with my eyes closed." Meanwhile, Balvin's vibrant Latin flair intertwines seamlessly with Imagine Dragon's uplifting sound to deliver a genre-smashing bilingual banger. (continue)

In particular, he had a passion for the special effects behind the scenes of sci-fi films as well as their musical scores (think effects artist Ray Harryhausen and composer Bernard Hermann). In 1978, while attending the Los Angeles Auto Show at the LA Convention Center, my brother said 'Someday I'm going to put on my own convention here.' Well, he went back the following week and booked the convention center for November 18th of that same year.
