Mac Miller's 'Good News' Video Gives Us The First Taste Of His Posthumous Album

Mac Miller's first posthumous album, Circles, arrives next week, which is beneficial news for fans and admirers of the late rapper. "Good News" is, as well, the title of the assignments first official single, which arrived alongside an eye catching video on Thursday evening (January 9).


Directed by Anthony Gaddis and Eric Tilford, the vid opens on studio footage of Miller, who invites viewers to follow him into another room, saying, "Come on guys, let's show you how we do this." From then on, we're transported into an abstract world that uses motion collage to take us through animated landscapes, with familiar Mac imagery peppered during.


As for the song itself, it's an introspective, '70s rock-inspired tune that lets you peek into the late rapper's psyche. "I spent the complete day in my head / Do a little bit spring cleanin', I'm habitually also busy dreamin'," he sings at the onset, before musing on the chorus, "Good news, that's all they wanna hear / No they don't like it once I'm down / Whenever I'm flying, oh, it makes 'em so uncomfortable / So different, what's the difference?"


The ending of the video is especially emotional, as an image of Miller popping in some earbuds and walking into a bright light shows up, as his voice repeats, "There's a whole lot more for me waiting on the other side."


Hearing Mac's voice in your headphones again is an abnormal sensation, yet it's entirely worth it. Press play on the "Good News" video above, and visualize the complete tracklist for Circles — which arrives on January 17, two days before what would have been his 28th birthday — below.
