It is Bob Dylan to present Machine Gun Kelly album
Last February Bob Dylan fans must have had a moment of bewilderment when, between a scene from the 1946 film “The best years of our life” and Frank James’ Last Testament, on his Instagram profile, a live video of Machine Gun Kelly appeared. The amazement will arrive in a different way, now, discovering that Duluth’s singer -songwriter seems to have lent his voice to the narration of the new trailer that announces MGK’s next album, “”American Lost“.
“’American Lost’ It is a personal exploration of the American dream – A journey in search of what has been lost “, he hears in the video of the album from what seems to be the classic Roca voice of Dylan, Outgoing on August 8th. In the clip, the album is then described as “a love letter to those looking for a rediscovery“And” a sound map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a mission to regain the essence of American freedom “.
Machine Gun Kelly – who now calls himself simply “mgk” – has not yet officially confirmed that it is really bob Dylan to lend the voice in the video, but All clues suggest yes. On his X/Twitter profile, MGK shared the movie by writing “Trailer Narrate by …”, but On Instagram he shared a photo of Dylan as a story.

In some filming, the rapper lent to pop-punk for his two previous albums, shows himself wearing a personalized biker jacket with the “American Lost” logo, as on the cover of the disc. Towards the end of the video he also feels to say by Dylan: “From the golden signs of the dinners to the rumble of motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty of the middle spaces. Where the past is reinvented and the future is forged according to its rules”.
