MGK Releases Pop-Punk Single Cliché With Viral Video

Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has released his new single and music video, "Cliché," marking a continuation of his shift from rap to pop-punk with a nostalgic early-2000s vibe, choreographed dancing, and emotional lyrics inspired in part by a connection to Bob Dylan. The song, co-written and produced with longtime collaborators, premiered on platforms including MTV and was brought to life visually by director Sam Cahill and choreographer Sean Bankhead, highlighting MGK's carefree and vulnerable side. "Cliché" is generating fan excitement with Easter eggs hinting at the title of his upcoming album, potentially named Lost Americana, and reflects MGK's evolving artistry that combines punk, pop, and rock elements. Building on the success of his platinum albums Tickets to My Downfall and Mainstream Sellout, which topped the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy nomination, MGK will headline the 30th Anniversary Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC, and Orlando, FL. His recent activities include releasing reimagined covers of classic songs, further showcasing his genre-defying musical evolution. The release of "Cliché" continues to solidify MGK's position as a prominent figure bridging rap and rock genres with a polished yet emotionally charged sound.
