Circles Good news, good news, that s all they want to hear, Mac Miller laments on the centerpiece to his first posthumous album. It should be no surprise that the late Pittsburgh rapper doesn t have a lot of that to offer on
Circles, but what he does have to offer, over warm Jon Brion arrangements, is maybe more rewarding anyway a feeling of calm after the storm, not of serenity necessarily, but one of the hardest-earned stability. He says Today I m fine, and you believe him. He says Do not be afraid, and you take his word for it. -
