Circles - Mac Miller: Review
Mac Miller was a California based rapper, singer, songwriter and producer who passed away in 2018 at just 26 years old. Circles is a project he was in the midst of creating at the time of his passing and the record was finished by its executive producer Jon Brion who tried to best complete the album to Mac's vision. Review By Lavender: It is always a difficult tightrope walk critiquing the work of an artist that has passed. Both to avoid sounding disrespectful to their legacy as well as trying to gauge how much of it was their own artistic intent verses work done on the record after their death. Mac Miller was by all accounts an absolutely great dude and his death is a tragedy that I wish could have been avoided just as much as anyone else. This doesn't change the fact that I was never really that big of a fan of Mac, I thought his 2013 record Watching Movies With The Sound Off was decent but since he moved to a major label it had been one disappointment after another...
