He rushed inward, ignoring his fears and responsibilities lurking on the outside.

He seemed unsure.

Not about his answer, but if he should admit it aloud.

The Divine Feminine Miller Series With Artists

What emotion do you want to explore next in your music a fan had asked at CRWN, rap journalist Elliott Wilsons interviewing series with artists like Mac Miller.

The moment occurred within Millers press tour for GOOD:AM, his previous record.

Conversations and narratives around that album involved the artists waking up from the demons and poor lifestyle choices that had become his routine.

It eventually led to his drunk-dialing super producer and music guru Rick Rubin one night, and then escaping to Rubins Shrang Li studios.

The spot has served as refuge for some of your favorite artistsBob Dylan, Adele, Kanye West, among themand did so for Miller, as well.

But how would this reflect in the music Where could he go next Love, Miller eventually answered at CRWN, his cigarette-stained voice quavering a bit.

The crowd slightly pulled back, unsure what this direction meant for Miller, but the more he discussed exploring love in its various forms, the more visibly excited he grew.

Hes become sober, he moved back to L.A., hes dating pop star Ariana Grande.

But he cites this moment as when he knew he wanted to create the album that would become The Divine Feminine.

It fits in with the acid jazz- and funk-infused waves that fellow artists Anderson.Paak and Kendrick Lamar have sampled.

Unsurprising then that both make memorable appearances on the record, but within new contexts.

But Kendrick sings the raspy hook to God Is Fair, Sexy, Nasty, a passionate ballad, crooning his plea into a womans body, his only salvation.

Millers collaborations include an impressive list of performers from outside hip hops realm.

Hes recruited cats like contemporary funk god Dm-Funk to play keytar, as well as jazz studs like pianist Robert Glasper and trumpeter Keyon Harrold.

By the time Cee-Lo Green graces We, instilling some serious soul vibes, its not shocking anymore just who Miller flies into his orbit.

What surprises, then, is how little of Millers previous personas appear on The Divine Feminine.

On his Faces mixtape and Watching Movies With The Sound Off album, Miller smashed himself into pieces through his multiple vices and, like a kid picking up a new toy, discovered what was left.

He even tried performing as new characters, like on his Delusional Thomas mixtape, which turned darker and stranger, Miller distorting his voice throughout to sound nothing like him.

Shedding the mainstream frat rapper that defined his earlier career, yes, but also lost, beset by the same identity-fracturing struggles so common of those in their early 20s.

His glorified drug usage fell in line with those fellow hedonism chasers, muting qualities of himself he didnt like, praying a solution would fall from the sky.
