Mac Miller fans have something to celebrate as his family announces the release of his posthumous album ‘Balloonerism,’ set to drop on January 17, 2025, exactly half a decade after ‘Circles.’
The album was a heartfelt project for Mac, born in 2014 alongside his release ‘Faces.’
Although ‘Balloonerism’ had been discussed and planned with enthusiasm, other projects like ‘GO:OD AM’ took priority at the time.
This album showcases Mac’s diverse musical talents and artistic courage, reflecting a unique period in his career.
Unofficial versions of ‘Balloonerism’ have been circulating online for years, but now, fans can look forward to an official release.
The family felt it was important to honor Mac’s wishes and provide a polished version of this beloved work.
Physical copies are available for pre-order, with options ranging from CDs and cassettes to a deluxe vinyl collection.
The buzz around Balloonerism started at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, where a trailer featured two unreleased tracks.
Fans can expect tracks like ‘The Song That Changed Everything’ featuring SZA and ‘5 Dollar Pony Rides’ to be part of the album.
The cover art, an abstract balloon-themed painting, was created by Alim Smith, adding a visual touch to Mac’s music.
Smith’s art had previously caught Mac’s attention on Instagram, where the rapper had expressed his admiration.
Quentin Cuff, Mac’s longtime manager, described the album as ‘zany,’ capturing Mac’s experimental and adventurous spirit.
With ‘Balloonerism,’ Mac Miller’s legacy lives on, offering fans a glimpse into a creative chapter of his life. This release not only satisfies years of anticipation but also cements Mac’s influence in the music world.
