“This album is a love letter for those who seek to rediscover the dreamers, the jesters, the defiant. It’s a sonic map of forgotten places, a tribute to the spirit of reinvention and a quest to reclaim the essence of American freedom.”
The narrator continues: “From the glow of neon diners to the rumble of the motorcycles, this is music that celebrates the beauty found in the in-between spaces. Where the past is reimagined, and the future is forged on your own terms.”
Per a press release, the forthcoming album is an “emotionally honest new chapter that reflects on his past with help from longtime collaborators and friends SlimXX, BazeXX and Nick Long.”
PEOPLE reached out to Bob Dylan about the narration and did not receive a response.

“And in the same breath that I’m questioning it, someone goes, ‘Bob Dylan just posted a video of you.’ And I’m like, ‘There must be another Bob Dylan. Whatever.’ “
“We got to his Instagram, he did post a video. I’m like…Just the originator of doing everything opposite of what people wanted him to do, randomly posting a video of me back in the day rapping in a vinyl shop. I’m just like, ‘What the f—?’”
The “Emo Girl” singer considered it a good omen. “Just trust the signs, man,” MGK added. “That was so cool. I’m so grateful. So random.”
Lost Americana, which features mgk’s new single “cliché,” is available for pre-order.
