Mac Miller’s new track, “Blue World,” looks poised to be one of the biggest songs from his posthumous album, Circles. It debuted at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and has racked up over 150,000 page views on Genius since its release. Although the album has just one official feature, “Blue World” begins with some outside vocals, too.
The release of Mac Miller’s new album, Circles, feels in many ways like a final bookend on his influential career, but it’s also raised questions about what—if anything—comes next. The late rapper was known as a studio rat and left behind a massive catalog of unreleased music in various stages of completion.
From Mac Miller’s early days as an upstart teen rapper from Pittsburgh through his maturation into a Grammy-nominated artist, one thing has remained consistent: ID Labs producer Eric “E. Dan” Dan. He has production credits across Mac Miller’s discography, including on the late rapper’s new posthumous album, Circles. Although famed composer Jon Brion handled the majority of the album’s creative decisions, E. Dan still got one last production credit in on “Woods.”

Mac Miller is poised to make a huge splash on the Billboard 200 next week with his posthumous album, Circles, but he’s already beaten a personal record with the project’s lead single, “Good News.” The song debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, marking his highest-charting single as a lead artist.
Since Mac Miller’s posthumous album, “Circles,” came out Friday, many fans have been convinced they heard Ariana Grande’s voice on the track “I Can See.” The late rapper’s reps responded to queries with a “no comment.” Now, his ex-girlfriend’s vocal cameo has been confirmed — or equivocally confirmed, at least — by the record’s producer, Jon Brion.
"He wanted to tell people, ‘I still love this'"
Mac Miller’s recently released posthumous album, Circles, was announced as a companion to 2018’s Swimming. As it turns out, the late rapper actually envisioned the projects as two-thirds of a trilogy. Producer Jon Brion, who completed Circles following Mac’s death, spoke about the Pittsburgh native’s plan in a recent New York Times interview.
Mac Miller’s posthumous album, Circles, is all but devoid of guest features, but there may be one famous voice hidden on the album: Ariana Grande. The pop star—who was in a relationship with Miller for several years—likely contributed background vocals on the project’s fifth song, “I Can See,” according to producer Jon Brion.
"Those vocals were already there"
Mac Miller’s producer pal Jon Brion appears to have confirmed the rapper’s posthumous album features vocals from his ex-girlfriend Ariana Grande.
