The posthumous album from Mac Miller estate is due this month, entitled “Circles,” this marks the first project since Miller’s death in September 2018, scheduled to be released on Jan. 17. The late rapper first single “Good News,” has been released with a video, directed by Eric Tilford and Anthony Gaddis, features imagery from Miller’s career.
Miller was discovered unresponsive in his Studio City, Calif. home on Sept. 7, 2018. The Coroner ruled his death as an accidental overdose due to mixed drug toxicity of cocaine, alcohol, and fentanyl. Three men have been arrested and indicted in connection with his death.
Earlier this week his family made the announcement in a heartfelt letter posted to his Instagram account on Wednesday. After much deliberation, the family ultimately decided to release “Circles.”
“This is a complicated process that has no right answer. No clear path. We simply know that it was important to Malcolm for the world to hear it,” says his family. “One of the most difficult decisions in the process is how best to let people know about it—how to communicate meaningfully while keeping sacred what should be kept sacred. So this will be the only post on any of his channels.”
“Circles will be Miller’s sixth studio album and first since 2018’s “Swimming,” which was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
In honor of Miller’s music and legacy, there will be three fan pop-up events in Los Angeles, New York, and Pittsburgh on Jan. 17 and 18. The exhibitions, in partnership with Amazon Music, will feature immersive listenings of Circles in Ultra HD audio, as well as a multimedia fan art exhibition and exclusive merch. Entry is free and all net proceeds from merch sales will go to The Mac Miller Fund.
