Music Producer Jon Brion talks about the making of Circles, Mac Miller’s sixth and final album released via Warner Records. Conceived as a sister album to Mac Miller’s 2018 GRAMMY-nominated album, Swimming, Circles was completed with the assistance of Brion, with whom Miller worked on Swimming and had been working together on Circles at the time of Miller’s passing. While sonically distinct from its predecessor, Circles features many of the hallmarks for which Swimming was critically-acclaimed upon its release — Miller further realizing his singing voice in addition to rapping, live instrumentation and earnest, confessional lyrical content.
