Imagine Dragons Announce 17th Anniversary Album: ‘Reflections (From the Vault of Smoke + Mirrors)’ Out March 30

March 24, 2025 – Multi-platinum rock band Imagine Dragons is celebrating their 17th anniversary in a grand way. The band has officially announced the release of Reflections (From the Vault of Smoke + Mirrors), a special album featuring unreleased tracks and rare recordings from their 2015 album Smoke + Mirrors. The collection is set to drop on March 30, 2025, marking a major milestone in the band’s career.

A Journey Through Time

Formed in 2008, Imagine Dragons has become one of the most influential rock bands of the 21st century. With chart-topping hits like Radioactive, Demons, and Believer, the band has consistently evolved its sound while maintaining a deep connection with fans worldwide. The announcement of Reflections (From the Vault of Smoke + Mirrors) comes as a surprise gift to longtime listeners, offering a glimpse into the creative process behind one of their most experimental albums.

Smoke + Mirrors, originally released in 2015, showcased a darker and more introspective side of Imagine Dragons. It featured hits like I Bet My Life, Shots, and Gold, earning critical acclaim for its genre-blending production and deeply personal lyrics. Now, with Reflections, the band is unlocking previously unheard tracks, alternative versions, and behind-the-scenes moments that never made it to the original album.

Band’s Statement

In an official statement, frontman Dan Reynolds shared his excitement about the release:

“‘Smoke + Mirrors’ was a pivotal album for us—full of risks, raw emotions, and a deeper exploration of our sound. As we celebrate 17 years of Imagine Dragons, we wanted to open the vault and share pieces of that journey with our fans. ‘Reflections’ is a collection of songs that didn’t make the final cut but still hold a special place in our hearts.”

The band has been teasing the project on social media, hinting at a mix of intimate acoustic recordings, alternative takes of fan-favorite tracks, and never-before-heard compositions that were left unfinished during the Smoke + Mirrors era.

What to Expect

While the full tracklist hasn’t been revealed, sources close to the band suggest that Reflections will feature at least 10-12 unreleased songs, along with reimagined versions of classics from Smoke + Mirrors. Fans can also expect a special vinyl edition, exclusive behind-the-scenes content, and possibly a few live performances to commemorate the release.

A Legacy That Continues to Grow

Since their breakout success in 2012, Imagine Dragons has built an enduring legacy, blending rock, pop, and electronic elements to create a unique sound. With over 75 million albums sold worldwide, multiple Grammy nominations, and billions of streams, their influence remains stronger than ever.

As Reflections (From the Vault of Smoke + Mirrors) prepares to hit streaming platforms and physical stores on March 30, fans are eagerly anticipating a nostalgic yet fresh take on a defining era of Imagine Dragons’ career.
