Circles is the posthumous companion album to Swimming, completing the conceptual journey Mac Miller envisioned as “swimming in circles.” Produced largely by Jon Brion, the album embraces a minimalist and mellow sound, fusing elements of indie, soul, and soft rock with Mac’s introspective songwriting. His vocals drift between singing and soft-spoken raps, delivering lyrics that explore themes of mental health, change, vulnerability, and acceptance. With its raw honesty and understated beauty, Circles is a poignant, graceful farewell that underscores Mac Miller’s depth as an artist and human being.
