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).[1] The album has been preceded by the lead single, "Cliché".
Background and release
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.[2][3] The narration comes soon after revealing he was a fan of MGK's music.[4] 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.[5] The album was recorded with long-time collaborators Nick Long, Stephen Basil and Brandon Allen.[6]
The album's lead single, "Cliché", was released on May 23, 2025.[7][8]
The album's second single, "Vampire Diaries", was released on July 11, 2025, accompanied by a music video filmed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.[9][10]
