#34 | MAC MILLER | Circles
Warner | Official Store

According to Sarah Paolantonio: “The music on Circles is the sound of Miller plunging into change. Not quite a straightforward hip-hop record but not quite an R&B album, it is a mix of his own interests and what they could’ve morphed into. Swimming was an outline of what was to come and Circles is the annotated breakdown….Mac is gone, it’s sad, and listening to Circles is taxing. Every line is a reminder that he’s no longer with us. It will live on forever as an epilogue of his life no matter how much time passes. Everything was just starting to bubble up and I already miss the lifetime of art he’ll never get to make. We miss you Mac. RIP.”
