‘Glee’ Season 4 Opener to Feature Adele, Imagine Dragons Songs

Imagine Dragons‘ profile just keeps rising. The Las Vegas indie rockers will get some serious mainstream exposure when their tune ‘It’s Time’ is performed during the Season 4 premiere of ‘Glee‘ on Thursday, reports PopCrush. Other tunes set to get the ‘Glee’ treatment during the show include the Fray‘s ‘Never Say Never’ and, as previously announced, Adele‘s ‘Chasing Pavements.’

Adele’s music has appeared on ‘Glee’ before — early last season, the choir performed a cappella versions of  ‘Rolling in the Deep’ and ‘Turning Tables,’ and later that year, they did a mash-up of ‘Rumour Has It’ and ‘Someone Like You’ — but it’s the first time Imagine Dragons has been in the ‘Glee’ spotlight. ‘It’s Time’ gets its close-up during a scene when the character of Blaine (who you’ll know if you’re into this sort of thing) presumably gives Kurt permission to move to New York by singing the song.

But if you can’t wait until tomorrow at 9PM ET, when the show airs on Fox, you can listen to the ‘Glee’ versions of both Imagine Dragons’ ‘It’s Time’ and Adele’s ‘Chasing Pavements’ below. We’re not always the biggest fans of what ‘Glee’ does to music, but these reworkings sound pretty good. What do you think?
