After a recent teaser at Camp Flog Gnaw this past weekend, Mac Miller‘s Balloonerism album is confirmed to be on the way. As revealed by the rapper’s estate via the @92tilinfinity Instagram account, the long-awaited album is set to drop on January 17,
“Many of Malcolm’s fans are aware of Balloonerism, a full-length album that Malcolm created around the time of the release of Faces in 2014,” begins the message.
“It is a project that was of great importance to Malcolm – to the extent that he commissioned artwork for it and discussions concerning when it should be released were had regularly, though ultimately GO:OD AM and subsequent albums ended up taking priority. We believe the project showcases both the breadth of his musical talents and fearlessness as an artist, given that unofficial versions of the album have circulated online for years and that releasing Balloonerism was something that Malcolm frequently expressed being important to him, we felt it most appropriate to present an official version of the project to the world.”
The album marks his sixth studio album and will arrive exactly five years after the release of his most recent album Circles.
