Mac Miller’s family recently released plans for a posthumous album from the late rapper, due to be released on January 17. A companion piece to 2018’s Grammy-nominated Swimming that was being recorded at the time of Miller’s death, Circles is meant to thematically complete its predecessor, and now we have our first inside listen, and look, at what to expect from Mac Miller’s final offering on “Good News.”
Clocking in at nearly seven-minutes, the Eric Tilford and Anthony Gaddis-directed visual is a moving, conceptual depiction of the images and themes that came to define Miller’s career and his body of work. The track poignantly plucks along, alluding to an album that will likely succeed in bringing Miller momentarily back to life.
In conjunction with the album’s release, pop up exhibitions celebrating the life of the Blue Slide Park emcee will take place in Los Angeles, New York, and Miller’s hometown of Pittsburgh. The Amazon Music-backed events will feature immersive listenings of Circles, an album-inspired merch line, multimedia fan art displays as well as a multimedia fan art exhibition and exclusive new Circles merch offerings. Entry is free and all net proceeds from merchandise sales will go to The Mac Miller Fund. All locations will be open to the public from 12PM – 9PM local time. See the video for “Good News” below.
