This relationship works extremely well, as Miller pens some very powerful lyrics about struggling and failing to change himself as he, “just end up right at the start of the line, drawing circles.” The songs “Hand Me Downs”, and “Surf” are similar in that the instrumental is minimal to allow Mac to shine. The song’s instrumental is one of many laid-back, simple and soft backing tracks that complement and put the focus solely on Miller’s voice. The album opens with the title track “Circles” and it is quite the emotional experience to hear Miller’s voice for the first time solo since his passing. So how did it all turn out, and what did Mac have to say before his death? That left Brion to fill in the gaps and touch everything up. According to Brion, “Circles” was meant to be a continuation and partner album to “Swimming,” and that it was mostly completed before Miller’s passing. In early January, Miller’s estate, as well as producer Jon Brion, announced a new album would be coming the following week as well as dropping the single, “Good News”. Since his passing, there had been little information regarding upcoming leftover music from him, save for a few posthumous features. In 2018, a little over a month after releasing his last project, “Swimming,” Miller was found dead in his Los Angeles home after overdosing on a mixture of drugs and alcohol. “Circles” is the posthumous sixth studio album from Pittsburgh-raised rapper and singer Mac Miller.
