For the second time in the seven years since his death, Mac Miller fans have the chance to listen to a new album. The US rapper was 26 when he died from an accidental overdose in 2018. Friends say he was lost in his prime and fans' hunger for new music has remained.

“Balloonerism” was shelved around 2014 in favor of the album “Watching Movies With the Sound Off” and the mixtape “Faces.” To my ear, it's closer to “Faces” but rawer and less intense. Even so, just having Miller back in our ears is a reason to celebrate.

Mac Miller's estate has released his posthumous album 'Balloonerism' in tandem with an accompanying short film.
