Mac Miller: Circles (2020) (Hip-hop,Pop,Soul)

In continuing Mac's 2018 album Swimming, Circles has blends of hip-hop and soul sung with a Tom Waits vagrant-like romanticism, however, this time with more intimacy and enduring song compositions. The production and drums being bright and punchy are tailored well to most songs, and Mac's singing though ragged manages to be effective in the more soul-oriented songs, giving off the slacker, downhearted feeling he is known for. It is worth noting that Good News may be one of the most emotionally potent songs of the year.

 Best Tracks: Circles*, Complicated, Good News*, Everybody, Hand Me Downs, Once A Day

B+


Hip-hop/ Neo-Soul/ Pop Rap
