Everything ends. But what do endings even mean?

At the time we're recording swimming, Mac Miller had amassed such a wealth of new material

that it became clear not all of it could fit on a single album.

And some of this material showcased an as yet not all of it could fit on a single album.

And some of this material showcased an as yet unheard side of Max ever evolving artistry.

This new color on its musical spectrum was more Bob Dylan that was Big L, more singer-songwriter than rap.

Mac then decided that swimming would have a conceptual companion album called

Circles, a dedicated space for his more intimate expressions, another end linked to a new beginning.

Unfortunately, Max passing in September of 2018 left the project unfinished, but the material

was too strong and too important to Mac to be left unheard.

And so with very mindful loving care, Mac's family, management, and close collaborators worked

behind the scenes throughout 2019 to complete the album based on their conversations with Mac about the project.

And on January 17th, 2020, two days before what would have been Mac's 28th birthday,

Circles was brought to life. One final gift to the world from the spirit of Mac Miller.
