Machine Gun Kelly hardly ever flaunts his quieter side, yet the punk-rock super star has actually done simply that with his stunning cover of Frank Ocean’s lovely “Swim Good.”
On the track, MGK changes Ocean’s layers of synths with a delicately tweezed guitar, bringing brand-new definition to Ocean’s verses, like, “I’m regarding to drive in the sea/ I’ma attempt to swim from somethin’ larger than me.”
In various other MGK information, the electrical celebrity just recently validated that he’ll be launching 2 cds in 2022. MGK introduced the upcoming launch of the Travis Barker-produced Born With Horns this previous August, as well as offered the initial preference of the cd soon after with the solitary “Papercuts.”
MGK teased that he would certainly be launching brand-new songs in the very early days of 2022. “The 2nd you open your eyes as well as it’s 2022, you’ll have something to pay attention to,” he stated.
However, on December 31, he retracted that launch day in a tweet. “I recognize the report was I was going down New Year’s Eve yet… see you in 2022,” he composed. After that, on January 2, he complied with the issue up by tweeting, “Two cds this year.”
Whenever the first of the two LPs drops, it’ll serve as a follow-up to 2020’s Tickets to My Downfall, Kelly’s first collaboration with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 upon its release, and spawned singles “Bloody Valentine,” “Concert for Aliens” and the Blackbear-assisted “My Ex’s Best Friend.”
As 2021 drew to a close, MGK announced the cast for his upcoming musical film Taurus, including wife Megan Fox, Naomi Wild, Lil Tjay, and more.
Back in November, MGK worked closely with Schecter designers to create the custom signature MGK Tickets To My Downfall pink guitar which is now available for fans and musicians alike.
Though Kelly has yet to unveil details on his new cds, perhaps his cover of “Swimming Good” is a sign of more music to come.
