Mac Miller follows up The Divine Feminine‘ promo single, โDang!โ with a lush, thought-provoking second single โWe,โ featuring CeeLo Green.
After blessing his fans with single โDangโ, Mac Miller returns with a second single, โWe,โ featuring CeeLo Green.ย Based upon the two offering from Miller, his fourth studio album, The Divine Feminine, should be interesting.ย The Divine Feminine arrives mid-September.ย ย
โWeโ features dusty, soulful production work โ a predominately old-school sound.ย At times, โWeโ drifts into the background, given its lush, laid-back sound. Hence, it requires more than one listen to truly unveil its magic. Interestingly, guest vocalist CeeLo is incredibly subtle.ย This is a change of pace considering his usual gritty, soulful approach.
โWell okay, itโs alright, itโs okay Okay, well you can be myโฆ Well okay, itโs alright, itโs okay You can be myโฆโ
At 5:19, โWeโ is lengthy. Even so, lyrically, there are plenty of worthwhile moments. The message centers around a true, healthy relationship.ย There is a shift from โmeโ (emotionless sex) to โweโ (a dedicated, selfless relationship). Miller spits,
โWell, Iโve tried to call you, have us a discussion We never talk, we always way too busy fuckinโ.โ
Later, he shines, rapping,
โI find that I keep flying high, sometimes I must remind myself That change is more than pennies laying on the floor inside the well You cross my mind, do not apologize for being fine as hellโฆโ
Final Thoughtsย
โWeโ is beautifully produced. Miller delivers thoughtful rhymes about trying to be emotionally sound as a couple as opposed to physically without emotions. To reiterate, while subtle, Greenโs contributions are beautiful.
