Mac Miller ‘Circles’ Listening Sessions Happening This Week

Simu Liu is all set to face the cameras for the shooting of his upcoming Marvel film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The production of the film is scheduled to begin in Australia next week.

Since Mac Miller’s posthumous album, “Circles,” came out Friday, many fans have been convinced they heard Ariana Grande’s voice on the track “I Can See.” The late rapper’s reps responded to queries with a “no comment.” Now, his ex-girlfriend’s vocal cameo has been confirmed — or equivocally confirmed, at least — by the record’s producer, Jon Brion.

Mac Miller’s producer pal Jon Brion appears to have confirmed the rapper’s posthumous album features vocals from his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande.

Mac Miller's posthumous album has topped this week's new music release poll. 

Ariana Grande has been super busy lately giving concerts around the world for her And while that means that Ari has been booked and busy for the past few months, it looks like she might have squeezed in some time to appear on her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller's posthumous album Circles.

Earlier this month, Mac Miller's family announced they were releasing "Circles," a companion to "Swimming," on the late rapper's behalf. In their social media announcement, the family expressed their gratitude to producer Jon Brian, who completed the album after Mac's death.

In a special For The Record segment, Genius' Head of Artist Relations Rob Markman reflects on the late Mac Miller’s legacy through the release of his first posthumous album, Circles. Mac passed away in September 2018, roughly a month after the release of his album, Swimming.

Mac Miller’s posthumous album, Circles, contains only one guest appearance. “Hand Me Downs” features Melbourne, Australia singer and rapper Baro, who sings and plays drums on the track.

Mac Miller’s posthumous Circles is a gorgeous feat, a continuation of his vision on Swimming, doused with a grimly prescient perspective on the struggles that eventually led to his tragic death in Sept. 2018. In this sense, it’s a staggeringly difficult listen.

The new music coming out this week has taken fans by surprise. There's Eminem's unexpected album Music To Be Murdered By, a complete body of work from the late Mac Miller in Circles, and Halsey's genre-defying Manic.

On Thursday (Jan. 16) the Mac Miller Estate opened its arms for a preview of the Circles: Til' Infinity listening event for Mac Miller’s first posthumous album, Circles.

With so much good music being released all the time, it can be hard to determine what to listen to first. Every week, Pitchfork offers a run-down of significant new releases available on streaming services.

When Mac Miller passed away in September 2018 of an accidental drug overdose, his estate remained mum about the possibility of releasing music he'd stashed in the vault. It wasn't until Jan.

Mac Miller passed away much too soon, aged just 26. On Friday morning, the hip-hop artist’s final, posthumous album Circles arrived, reminding us all of the talent lost.

A new album from the late Mac Miller is out now. It’s called Circles, and Miller worked on the album with Jon Brion. It’s a companion piece to his album Swimming. The album features the previously shared single “Good News.” Have a listen below.

If you were cynical, you might think releasing a posthumous, pieced-together Mac Miller album 16 months after his passing from an accidental drug overdose would be just one more part of the current death march of releases from deceased young rappers with pleadingly emotive lyrics and sonically rock-ist edges.
