Jon Brion and Zane Lowe - Circles Interview

Apple Music's Zane Lowe speaks with Jon Brion about collaborating with Mac Miller on his album, Circles.

[vortexhck]

There is nothing as fucking beautiful as when Mac reassures us that theres something good for him waiting on the other side. I cant express enough how mac has changed my life. I hadn't cried in 3 years and when i sat down and listened to circles i couldn't do anything else. Jon Brion is a legend for bringing us this and having be so close to what mac wanted. mad respect

[papervws]

The ending killed me. When he said he had plans for the future with him, with instruments for him, being excited for him. Shit is so sad

[ediotting]

I don't see anyone talking about Woods, that is the most intimate Mac song on the album. I feel like I'm right next to him.

[kennethmewis]

"I was more excited about him than I've been in quite some time"

Gets me every single time.

[iPowerToole]

This album was perfect to me, it showed the direction Mac's music was heading and I'm glad we were able to get a full project with Mac's vision and influence. Tough to listen to at first, but I can't help but smile listening to Mac's voice one more time. This is a timeless album that I will listen to for the rest of the life.

Thanks for inspiring so many Mac.

I wish this interview was longer... I could of easily listened to an hour of Jon talking about working with Mac on this album and going through every song

[alicefaye]

this man had so much love for Mac, you can see he was trying not to get emotional. Thank you for giving this album to us

[tripplile]

Mac seemed so unconfident in his ability listening to the producer. But he was brilliant

[Soulr]

Can we get the full interview? This is so special.

"He walked in and it was good"


That is all Mac songs. Mac was a genius

[BT-pbfx]

Remembering how when i first started listening to Mac in '08 it was all about high school days and smokin trees with your bros. But over the years Macs music would inspire me and bring me to tears about how he was torn down and forgotten, but still found a way to bring beauty and happiness through his music. Truly a pure soul. R.I.P

Circles is an absolute masterpiece. It’s like Mac descended from heaven to deliver this album and every song is a beautiful deep dive into his soul. It hurts me so damn much having seen his growth as an artist and a person for years and to know he was taken from us too early. I’ve been listening non-stop and bought half the merch already. Thank you Jon Brion and THANK YOU MAC ❤️ for this blessing and every blessing you gave us for years. We love and miss you down on Earth.

It's insane seeing Elliott Smith's influence on Mac.. then to have Mac work directly with Jon Brion, who was one of Elliott's biggest fan. Everything does come by full circle, absolutely beautiful hearing Jon talk so fondly of Mac. Rest in Peace man. :( #92tillinfinity

[oliver-fgvs]

I wish they talked about woods, it is such a beautiful song

[LambtonListings]

Circles is truly a masterpiece that will go down in history for ever.

[FloMakinski]

How can his Masterpiece have no Grammy. This Masterpiece deserves more than a Grammy. Theres no bad song on this record. Every song is so beautiful.
