Mac Miller’s Balloonerism: Official Tracklist Revealed Ahead of Release
The long-awaited release of Balloonerism, the late Mac Miller’s “lost project,” is finally drawing near. Set to drop on January 17, just two days before what would have been the rapper’s 32nd birthday, fans are excited. The official tracklist for the album has been revealed, and the announcement was made through the Instagram account run by the rapper’s estate, giving fans a closer look at the enigmatic and highly anticipated album.
A Curated Collection of Rare Gems
Balloonerism consists of 14 tracks, blending a mix of leaks, teased snippets, and previously unreleased material. The album offers a glimpse into the artistic evolution of Mac Miller, whose music has continually resonated with audiences since his untimely passing in 2018. Notably, the project keeps its features minimal, spotlighting contributions from SZA on “DJ’s Chord Organ” and Mac’s alter ego, Delusional Thomas, on “Transformations.”
The tracklist begins with “Tambourine Dream” and includes introspective titles like “Do You Have a Destination?” and “Friendly Hallucinations.” The album concludes with “Tomorrow Will Never Know,” a poignant closer that fans speculate will reflect Mac’s signature reflective lyricism.
The full tracklist is as follows:
Tambourine Dream | DJ’s Chord Organ (feat. SZA) | Do You Have a Destination? | 5 Dollar Pony Rides | Friendly Hallucinations | Mrs. Deborah Downer | Stoned | Shangri-La| Funny Papers | Excelsior | Transformations (feat. Delusional Thomas) | Manakins | Rick’s Piano | Tomorrow Will Never Know
