Machine Gun Kelly Premieres New Song “maybe” featuring Bring Me The Horizon on BBC Radio 1
American singer-songwriter Machine Gun Kelly premiered a new song “maybe” on Radio 1's Future Sounds with Clara Amfo.
He teamed up with British rock band Bring Me The Horizon's Oliver Sykes on the track.
Both artists first performed the song at Emo Nite in Los Angeles in earlier this month.
The song will appear on his upcoming sixth studio album “mainstream sellout”, which is set to be released on March 25, 2022.
It was written by Colson Baker, Travis Barker, Nick Long, Omer Fedi, Stephen Basil, Brandon Allen, Oliver Sykes and Jordan Fish. Produced by Travis Barker, Omer Fedi, SlimXX, BazeXX and Nick Long.
Machine Gun Kelly told Clara Amfo of the song, “While we were having the debate if I should do the same thing and get my eyelids tattooed, we were just plans he was like pleasure songs on the new record. And actually, we had tried to collaborate on a different song as well. I love Oli so much for just being honest. We both were like I really liked this song and he really stuck to it like now like this isn't this just isn't the one for us. And we ended up landing on maybe which is the song that we currently have. I really wish that we just sent you guys the stems of the song so you can just mute, certain parts and hear like all, there's really intricate parts that that Oli and bring me as a band like did on the song vocally, it's almost like you'd have to mute the instrumental that here.”- Bring Me The Horizon's Oliver Sykes said, “We obviously like relay as well on the massive scale like you started off with like, a death metal band, but we will never know that now. We've never been metal enough in our community. We've never been rock enough. So we've gone through this whole same thing so we completely get it and vibe. To me, it's like gatekeeping is just quite affordable. With everything that goes on in the world. I like how some people's biggest gripe is that they think someone shouldn't be in a certain scene when they are. It's just a mad thing for people to get upset about but it's fun to poke fun at that. I mean, you've definitely done it with like Song by heavy metal and stuff like that. Just like people think it is offensive to us to say we're not a metal gun, but it's like, do you think at this point is what what we want to do? Do you think we really care about what song genre or sub genre we're in anymore? It's like, we don't care.”
The new album comprises 16-track, featuring guest appearances from Bring Me The Horizon, Lil Wayne, blackbear, WILLOW, iann dior, Gunna and Young Thug. - source : BBC Radio 1
