Rock dynamo Machine Gun Kelly (Bad Boy/Interscope Records) and WILLOW have teamed up to bring “emo girl,” the new single from MGK’s forthcoming album, mainstream sellout. Directed by Drew Kirsh, the video features Travis Barker serving as a guide to a group of young students on a field trip. Inside the museum, the kids are left awestruck by the electric energy of MGK and WILLOW, who perform inside a checkered room. After zapping the children with their rockstar swagger, they morph into a little emo-rockers by the end of the video. “emo girl” made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and on the ViacomCBS Times Square billboard.”
