You could feel that he was consistently in his head because his two previous albums didn’t do the numbers the label expected. I’ll do anything for a way out of my head’.
The first song on the album, “Come Back To Earth”, has a line ‘I just need a way out of my head.
It was raw, there was a lot of pain, and it made him sound so vulnerable. GO:OD AM and Divine Feminine I didn’t even waste my time, but when Swimming came out for some reason I dove right in. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Blue Side Park and Watching Movies With the Sound Off was a whole different creative direction from the getting fucked up, smoking weed, and chilling with friends type of music he used to put out, and I wasn’t interested in it. Once high school passed I didn’t really listen to Mac. It especially hurts because his last album, “Swimming” was amazing. But when someone dies who isn’t much older than you and has contributed to a ton of personal memories that one hits differently. I still remember where I was when I got the news that Mac Miller had died. The song “Donald Trump” still brings me back to getting drunk on the weekends in my friends basement with my boys and The Spin was the soundtrack to Senior Week. I grew up with Mac in high school and used to blast K.I.D.S and Best Day Ever in my 1993 Mazda protege with the 12 inch subs in the trunk. It felt weird to see him in the studio recording in the music video.
The music video visuals are amazing and trippy especially the end when Mac is walking out of what looks like a plane window as an ode to the cover art of the Swimming album. Circles comes out on January 17th and I’ve never been so excited for an album. “Good News’ has the slow, rhythmic, and melodic beats that Swimming gave us, which seemed to start becoming Mac’s style. A post shared by Mac first single from Mac Miller’s posthumous album ‘Circles’ was released today and it didn’t disappoint.
