Lost Americana is the upcoming seventh studio album by American musician, singer and songwriter MGK. It is scheduled to be released on August 8, 2025, through EST 19XX and Interscope Records, as the follow-up to his previous album, Mainstream Sellout (2022).[2] The album so far has been preceded by the lead single, "Cliché".[3]
Background and release
[edit]On May 23, 2025, MGK released "Cliché", the lead single from his upcoming album Lost Americana, which channeled early-2000s punk influences and marked a thematic shift toward self-reflection and cultural critique.[4]
The album's official trailer, released shortly after, was narrated by Bob Dylan—a surprising collaboration that generated widespread media attention due to Dylan's elusive public persona.[5][6] The narration comes soon after revealing he was a fan of MGK's music.[7] While speculation initially surrounded whether the voice was authentic or AI-generated, multiple sources confirmed Dylan's genuine involvement, noting his social media promotion of the trailer.[8]
