He continued, “Cause I’m not scared anymore, there’s nothing holding me back from being my true self — and my true self can’t be silenced, can’t be restrained. It’s a force, it’s like a hurricane. Can’t stop that, it just goes until it feels like stopping, and I don’t feel like stopping anytime soon.”
Kelly also says that when he creates a new album, it always serves as a “juxtaposition” to the last — so fans can expect this one to be a polar opposite of previous releaseTickets to My Downfall.
“It feels more guitar-heavy for sure, lyrically it definitely goes deeper — but I never like to do anything the same,” Kelly tells Geist, 46. “Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album. So I went and studiedTickets, and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album I just turned the lights off.”
During the clip, the singer also revealed that “the second you open your eyes and it’s 2022, you’ll have something to listen to” — hinting at a New Year’s Day release date.
“‘born with horns’ the album. We’re back for round two….” Kelly captioned the post. He and the Blink-182 drummer had previously worked together onTickets to My Downfall.
TheBorn with Hornsink, however, isn’t Kelly’s first permanent tribute to one of his albums. He has “tickets to my downfall” tattooed on the base of his neck as well.

On Wednesday in an appearance onWatch What Happens Live, Lala Kent said the musician apologized for his insensitive tweet in July about his movieMidnight in the Switchgrass— which he called “trash” at the time.
The 31-year-oldVanderpump Rulesstar said Kellyseemed remorseful in a textsent to her husbandRandall Emmett, who directed him in his film.
“He did send Randall a text that he apologizes and the movie was great,“Kent said on the show. “So he redeemed himself.”
Kelly’s full interview onSunday TODAYwith Geist airs Sunday at 8 a.m. ET on NBC.
