The album arrived back in 2016 and marked a turning point in Miller’s career. While the 2015 predecessor ‘GO:OD AM’ saw him double down on his rap-dominated sound, his fourth album saw him take a new, more heartfelt approach – developing a concept album that explored the power of love and the sacred energy of women.
It was previewed by three singles, ‘Dang!’ which featured Anderson .Paak, ‘We’ which featured CeeLo Green, and ‘My Favorite Part’ which starred Ariana Grande.

As well as announcing the new anniversary album, the estate of Miller has also launched a new website for the late artist, which is designed in conjunction with James Musgrave and Kate Doyle for XXIX. Having been in the works for years, the site is an interactive tribute to the life and work of Mac Miller, featuring archival media from friends and colleagues.
Another previously unreleased song with Mac Miller was released in February, when Thundercat shared the groove-driven track ‘She Knows Too Much’. To release the song, which the two of them started before Miller’s passing in 2018, Thundercat sought permission from the late star’s estate.
The first posthumous release from Miller was the 2020 album ‘Circles’. In a four-star review, NME described the album as “a very conflicting listen”, adding: “It’s a high-quality project, but we lost Mac way too soon, and that’s hard to accept.
“So while it’s hard to listen to him talking about self-deterioration and how he spends far too much time in his own head, it’s a privilege to hear him share his innermost thoughts over a bed of sweeping, inventive sonics. This is the album Mac Miller was born to make.”
