How Imagine Dragons’ “Dancing In the Dark” got me through the COVID-19 Lockdown

Dancing in the Dark is the eleventh and final track on Evolve. The song is not only the album’s closer, but it’s also one of the smoothest and most low-key songs the band has ever made. Dancing in the Dark serves as a mellow closer for the energetic, upbeat, and explosive album that is Evolve. The song is perhaps the most minimalistic on the album, with its sparse beat and its soft, bouncy instrumental. It also heavily features vocal effects over Dan’s voice, which was a controversial choice amongst many fans.
