Music Review: Mac Miller's lost album 'Balloonerism' is airy and experimental

To coincide with what would have been Mac Miller’s 33rd birthday, his estate has given us all a present, an unreleased album by the late hip-hop star. “Balloonerism” was shelved around 2014 in favor of the album “Watching Movies With the Sound Off” and the mixtape “Faces.” Associated Press critic Mark Kennedy says just having Miller back in our ears is a reason to celebrate. “Balloonerism” is an airy, experimental album that leans into neo-soul and jazz, often sounding dreamy and drug addled. Kennedy says it's more scattered, more sprawling, than the music he officially released at the time. The album is out Friday.
