Machine Gun Kelly Begins Shooting His First Western
There’s no denying that Machine Gun Kelly is having one hell of a year. With his pop-punk album Tickets To My Downfall successfully expanding the scope of his fanbase, it’s fair to say that the Travis Barker-produced project is looking like MGK’s biggest yet. Following its release, it would appear that Kelly has switched gears once again, putting his acting chops to the test with another yet movie role.

Following appearances in The King Of Staten Island, The Dirt, and Bird Box, MGK has officially begun production on a new western. While he had yet to confirm the title, a glimpse at his IMDB page seems to indicate that the film in question is The Last Son of Isaac Lemay, which also stars Heather Graham and Thomas Jane. Though he neglected to provide further details about the experience thus far, MGK did paint a picture of what his month will entail — and let’s be honest, not many rappers can add horsemanship to their resume of talents.
“I’m living in the back of a saloon in montana for the month shooting this cowboy movie,” he writes, on his Twitter page. “Heading out now to go meet my horse. wish me luck.” As MGK attempts to become one with the bestial world, fans can eagerly await further details on what may very well be his most dynamic role to date — check back for further details on Kelly’s experience shooting The Last Son Of Isaac Lemay, which will likely see release at some point in 2021.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”
Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.
“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.
The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
