Not only did Machine gun Kelly give a rousing performance at the recent MTV Video Music Awards, the rap-rock star took home his first Moon Man. MGK was awarded the trophy for Best Alternative for the visual to “Bloody Valentine” that starred hs real-life girlfriend, actress Megan Fox. During his recent visit to The Kelly Clarkson ShowMachine Gun Kelly revealed that he had doubts about moving forward with his career after making it this far along without certain recognitions. 

“Most people get it on their first album or second album or third album or fourth album, but it was my fifth album that got me in the door for the first time,” said MGK. “I’m like really… It was this album or bust for me. I was like, ‘Should I just give up on all those hopes and dreams that I have?’ I mean, I hope that there’s someone who can just use that as a metaphor for their life to continue manifesting and to never stop chasing your personal legend because what a shame it would have been if I would have turned my back on this right before this happened and I didn’t even know that the light was on at the end of the tunnel. Right there.”

He added that he had doubts about receiving accolades at this stage in his carer. “Would I really start getting nominated five albums in? Yes!” Check out his appearance on the talk show below.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
