Miller shows his knack for flowing over groovy, funk-inflected beats on “Dang!” and “We,” where he is joined by the always velvety CeeLo Green. “The Divine Feminine” could have held its own as a strictly instrumental album, as Miller continues to help lead the charge of jazz rap fusion into the mainstream. Mac is 24 now, and both his lyricism and production skills have flourished into adulthood. Even since his brash days of childish frat rap in “K.I.D.S.” and “The High Life,” for every shotgunning party anthem there was also a more sensitive tune about lost love, long distance relationships, or all the regretful pitfalls of romance.īut this is not the same lovesick Miller from the mixtapes of his teenage years. In a rap game that, admittedly, has not evolved much from “B***** Ain’t S***,” it sounds somewhat odd to find one of the genre’s most egotistical voices lamenting so openly, “Can’t concentrate you’re always on my brain / If it’s love then why the f*** it come with pain?”īut Miller has long been rap’s hopeless love poet. Paak exclaims, “Dang!” in the song’s hook, he introduces the light-hearted frustration that reverberates throughout the album’s ten tracks. Miller dropped the romantic concept album back in September, on the heels of its funky lead single “Dang!,” on which Miller is assisted by a stellar guest-appearance from the soulful Anderson. So it is no surprise that less than a year later, when Miller dropped his next project, that project was titled “The Divine Feminine.” In the closing track of his 2015 album “GO:OD AM,” Mac Miller philosophizes over a conservation with God, whom he addresses as a woman.
