Incredible, but true: the narrator of the trailer of Machine Gun Kelly's new album (or MGK as he calls himself now) is Bob Dylan. The disc is titled American Lost and will be released on August 8th.
“American Lost“Dylan's voice says” is a personal exploration of the American dream, a journey in search of what has been lost “. His Bobness describes the album as “a love letter addressed to those who try to rediscover things” and “a sound map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention, and a research to claim the essence of American freedom”.
Dylan's words accompany a MGK home video editing on a motorcycle with friends and wearing a jacket with the word “American Lost”. «From the dinners illuminated by the neon to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty hidden in the interstices. Where the past is reimmaginated and it is you who forgive the future ».
American Lost It is the first mgk album from Mainstream Sellout of 2022 and will contain the recent single, Cliche (it is not yet known if there will also be other pieces released this year).
That something was going on was understood in February, when Dylan posted the video of a 2016 MGK performance in a record shop and the singer had written: “I am working on my disc, it's a signal. He is the great master of doing the opposite of what people want ». MGK then made the social media understand that he met Dylan thanks to that video in a stage of the outlaw music festival.
The reason from the top of its history Dylan has chosen to act in the trailer of this album remains a mystery. Someone says he did it for money and recalls the old Victoria's Secret spot. According to Dylanologist Ray Padgett is because Machine Gun Kelly “is the name of an old gangster that Bob was looking for on Google”. Or maybe simply Dylan doesn't like clichés.
