Mac Miller has shared his latest mixtape “Faces,” a unique jazz influenced project, with the public. It is shocking, amazing, and guarantees to make you think about the way you view and appreciate Mac Miller.

Beginning as a party-based musician from Pittsburgh, Miller’s mythical rise to fame and Hip-Hop prestige impresses many individuals. The album “Faces” brings a unique angle to Miller’s work, and he is digging his niche further into the art world, and the world in general. His brilliance and ideas, featured performers, production value, and album art make this album a masterpiece.

Miller starts his album with “Inside Outside,” a song that approaches his lifestyle and the paradoxes that fill his life. He speaks honestly about his family, friends, and the way he looks at life. Much of the album is like “Inside Outside” in the way that he talks about his life and the people he inspires, battles with, and affects. The album moves towards his guest features and ideas that he shares with them. Mac thinks a lot about existentialism and the bizarre nature that humans are aware about themselves, and also confronts that he is shifting from his adolescent years to a more adult-like phase in his life. His views are passionate and he focuses to keeping his ambition and drive that are imaginative and almost child-like.

Featured artists share Miller’s ambitious qualities in his album. Schoolboy Q, Sir Michael Rocks, Earl Sweatshirt, Ab-Soul, Thundercat, Rick Ross, Mike Jones, Vince Staples, and Da$h all play large roles, and they make a twist and highlight Miller’s creativity. Schoolboy Q is featured in a bizarre song named “Friends,” and his part is…. well…. interesting. It’s good to leave that point there for readers to go and listen for themselves. Anyways Mac brings lots of talent to the album and it really benefits his work.

The production in the album is astounding. Miller produces by the alias “Larry Fishman,” and thus far has been producing brilliant music. He has a broad range of talents, and is able to make fast, relaxed, loud, and gentle rhythms in the album. “Faces” is heavily jazz influenced and manifests itself in a neat way, lurking around roughly a dozen different genres.

All around “Faces” is an awesome album and is worth listening to. It is a long album, holding listen to the album and comment and message your thoughts about the album at skierscribbler.com and at the skier scribbler facebook page.
