Machine Gun Kelly has enlisted music legend Bob Dylan to help promote his new album. The 84-year-old icon narrates a trailer for MGK’s forthcoming record, Lost Americana, which is due out on August 8. This mark’s MGK’s first new album in three years, following 2022’s Mainstream Sellout, and is set to feature his recent single, “Cliché.” “Lost Americana is a personal excavation of the American dream – a journey to find what’s been lost,” Dylan says in the clip, describing the album as “a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention, and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom.” The album trailer includes a brief snippet of new music, while featuring footage of MGK riding a motorcycle while wearing a Lost Americana biker jacket. “This is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces,” Dylan concludes. “Where the past is reimagined and the future is forged on your own terms.” Earlier this year, Dylan inexplicably shared an old clip of MGK rapping on his social media, causing the 35-year old musician to respond, “That was so cool. I’m so grateful.” (Rolling Stone)
