The Pittsburgh MC gets everything off his chest about his recent break-up, with this emotional dive into his mind. "Swimming" is by far the biggest deviation we've gotten from the old "Knock Knock" Mac Miller, and while I look forward to the happy go lucky Mac back, this album is one of his best and one of the best this year. He opens up like we haven't heard before bearing exactly how he feels by letting us into his world, and without taking the easy route and attacking his ex, instead, he channels the pain into a beautiful trip into his emotions. Miller's willingness to be truthful to his fans and himself about what he's going through shows his humility as an artist. However MIller's fans may be divided on this album, similar to his last "The Divine Feminine", but I think the growth that Miller has shown over his career solidifies him as one of the best in the industry. Overall "Swimming" is Miller giving us a glimpse of what he's been feeling, and it's a beautifully melancholic trip that I'm glad he took us down, and if you're a fan of Miller, or looking for something different and raw give "Swimming" a listen, you won't be disappointed.
