In October, Machine Gun Kelly said of his new album (which was then titled Born With Horns): "It feels more guitar-heavy for sure, lyrically it definitely goes deeper – but I never like to do anything the same. Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album. So I went and studied Tickets…, and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album I just turned the lights off.
"I'm not scared anymore, there's nothing holding me back from being my true self – and my true self can't be silenced, can't be restrained. It's a force, it's like a hurricane. Can't stop that, it just goes until it feels like stopping, and I don't feel like stopping anytime soon."
Mainstream Sellout is due out on March 25
