Album of the Day

Released 5 years ago today, THE DIVINE FEMININE was Mac Miller's exploration of relationships both romantic and platonic. The Warner Bros. collection pairs the alternative rapper with a legion of top producers (including Dâm-Funk, DJ Dahi and Frank Dukes) and the star power extends to the microphone as well, with Kendrick Lamar, CeeLo Green and Ariana Grande among the many guests. Mac sings and raps from the heart on such tracks as “Dang!,” “We” and “My Favorite Part,” and the album really connected with listeners, reaching #2 on the Billboard chart. We'll leave the last word on THE DIVINE FEMININE to Pitchfork, which said, “It's easily his most intoxicating release yet, an odyssey of soulful compositions paring down his expansive and eclectic soundboard from the last few years into something distinctly cozy and pleasant.”
