Mac Miller’s Estate Releases Highly Anticipated Album “Balloonerism”
Last night, the late Mac Miller’s estate unveiled Balloonerism, an eagerly awaited posthumous album that has already sparked an outpouring of love and admiration from fans worldwide. Despite leaking online years ago, this marks the first official release of the project, carefully curated and approved by Miller’s loved ones. The album arrives just days before what would have been the rapper’s 33rd birthday and features collaborations with SZA and Mac’s alter ego, Delusional Thomas.
A Poignant Legacy
Social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are abuzz with emotional reactions to Balloonerism. Fans are lauding the project for its raw introspection and ahead-of-its-time production. “This Mac Miller album is sounding like he came back from the dead and recorded this last year,” one user wrote. Another shared, “Balloonerism takes the meaning of a ‘posthumous release’ to another level for me. Mac so vulnerably questions his purpose in life & what happens after death… it’s so eerie but so beautiful at the same time. Rest in peace, Mac.”
SZA’s Tribute
Among the many tributes, SZA’s heartfelt words stood out. Taking to X, she wrote, “I love my friend. I miss my friend. Grateful he saw something in me before most and treated me w love from day 1. Wish he could see how right about everything he truly was. Please go stream Balloonerism RIGHT NOW.”
An Album with Purpose
The estate revealed that releasing Balloonerism had been a priority for Mac before his untimely passing. “This project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and his fearlessness as an artist,” they said in a statement. They also addressed the album’s previous leaks, emphasizing the importance of officially presenting Balloonerism to the world.
A Multidimensional Experience
In addition to the album, a short film inspired by Balloonerism premiered this week. Directed by Samuel Jerome Mason, the animated project offers a visual exploration of the album’s themes. Proceeds from the advance screenings supported the Mac Miller Fund, and the film is now available on Prime Video.
