The orchestration on album opener ‘Congratulations’ makes for one of the year’s most beautiful musical moments. Miller’s production chops have developed enormously over the past several years and he has never crafted better sounding music than right here.
This approach shows, as The Divine Feminine ebbs and flows with ease, demanding full-listens when possible. Miller has stated that he set out to make an album rather than a loosely formed collection of songs around some standout singles. This is perhaps most easily attributed to the album’s cohesion.
#MAC MILLER THE DIVINE FEMININE REVIEW FULL#
That album was chock full of terrific tracks and wonderful lyrics from Miller.īut The Divine Feminine has placed Miller among the conversation for best hip-hop albums of 2016 in a year where we’ve seen releases from Kanye West, Chance The Rapper, YG, Vince Staples, Anderson. This is not a knock on GO:OD AM, by any means. What is surprising is the remarkable bump in quality. Miller’s last LP, GO:OD AM, came out less than a year ago, but Miller’s well known for his prolific output, so a quick follow up album is not all that surprising. The former frat rap star has continued his dramatic artistic evolution with The Divine Feminine, a tightly wound concept album centered around the endlessly fascinating topic of love. It would appear that Mac Miller is not keen on plateauing anytime soon.
