Multi-platinum recording artist Machine Gun Kelly has announced his new album, born with horns, via a matching tattoo with the album’s executive producer and frequent collaborator, Travis Barker.
born with horns will be the rockstar’s sixth studio album and follows his 2020 Platinum album Tickets To My Downfall, which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200 and has received multiple awards including an MTV VMA.
Machine Gun Kelly teased the first single from the forthcoming album on his Instagram last week. The music video for the single, directed by Cole Bennett, will be released this Wednesday, August 11 at 9:00pm PST.
Kelly just wrapped up promoting Tickets when he announced the new project. In May, he dropped a video for his latest hit single, “love race.” Featuring Kellin Quinn (who also appears on the track) as a bloodthirsty killer on the loose, the video finds the Sleeping With Sirens singer ruining a memorable trip in the woods with his murderous way.
The song has over 25 million global streams and has 16.2 million streams on Spotify alone. He also performed the track on Ellen last week, which garnered 1 million views and was trending on YouTube. Machine Gun Kelly won big at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards taking home the awards for Top Rock Album and Top Rock Artist. He also won for Alternative Rock Song of the Year for “bloody valentine” at the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
