The Mac Miller Estate shared a new Mac Miller song, “Butterflies.” The track will appear on The Divine Feminine (10th Anniversary), out Oct. 2, along with two other previously-unheard songs. The titles of the other new tracks have not been announced.

“Butterflies” was produced by Taylor Graves and features bass by Miller’s longtime collaborator Thundercat and trumpet by Daniel Hardaway. The hypnotic, mid-tempo number sees Miller intoning about a possible love connection: “Better drive slow/ If you wanna take a ride on the high road/ And your mind so passionate, your love what I’m after and/ That feelin’ so unfamiliar, I only imagine it/ Dream girl, you’re my make-believe girl.”


Along with the single, the estate launched a new Mac Miller website, designed in conjunction with James Musgrave and Kate Doyle for XXIX. The site is an interactive tribute to the life and work of the rapper, who died in 2018, and features archival media contributed by friends and colleagues from throughout the years.

Miller released The Divine Feminine, his fourth LP, in 2016. It featured collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, CeeLo Green, Ty Dolla Sign, and Ariana Grande, who notably appeared one of the album’s singles, “My Favorite Part.” The album notably received mediocre reviews. Rolling Stone wrote, “Miller’s grown-ass beats clash with his juvenile boasts (“I just eat pussy, other people need food”), so he often ends up sounding like a well-meaning kid who can’t stop putting his kicks up on the fancy furniture.”

The Divine Feminine (10th Anniversary) is available for pre-order now.

1. Congratulations feat. Bilal

Ten Years Later, Frank Ocean Still Knows Something We Don’t

Ten years ago, during the same week that Frank Ocean released his mixed-media tableau — the short film/album Endless, the rarefied Boys Don’t Cry zine, and his seminal album Blonde — Werner Herzog’s film Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World arrived. In the film, the German documentary filmmaker considers the heady question of what the internet might be doing to us humans. He makes contact with a community whose members swear they’re allergic to Wi-Fi. The film ominously warns of an inevitable solar flare on the scale of the 1859 Carrington Event, one that, once unleashed, would reduce all communications networks, the foundations of so much of our modern world then and even more now, to dust.

Toronto Turns Purple as BTS Returns to Canada

After hosting the World Cup earlier this summer, Toronto is getting another major event as South Korean supergroup BTS will take over Rogers Stadium for two sold-out concerts on August 22 and 23, bringing an estimated 100,000 fans to North York across the weekend. This will be their first Canadian performance since three shows in Hamilton in 2018.

For local fans, the wait has been especially long. BTS had planned to return to Toronto in 2020, but those concerts were ultimately cancelled during the pandemic. The group was then forced into a lengthy hiatus, while all seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military service.

Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold

Weezer’s 20th Album Is Good as Gold

Weezer has always had a thing for concept records, whether they’re imagining “the Beach Boys gone bad” (2017’s Pacific Daydream), doing a set of beloved old radio hits (2019’s The Teal Album), getting in touch with their quasi-sensitive side (2021’s OK Human) or paying tribute to the Eighties metal greats (that same year’s Van Weezer). For their 20th LP, technically self-titled but also known as The Gold Album, the concept is at once highly ironic and gloriously straightforward: a Weezer record that sounds like a classic Weezer record. “There’s something special about your early shit,” Rivers Cuomo intones — simultaneously tongue-in-cheek and heart-on-sleeve — at the opening of “C.E.O.,” a highlight anthem that sounds unmistakably indebted to their own 1994 classic “Undone (The Sweater Song).” The sentiment set the table for a record that often suggests what might’ve happened if the band had released a transitional album in 1995, between their debut 1994 alt-rock smash The Blue Album and their 1996 emo-adjacent masterpiece Pinkerton. Weezer’s Gold is, in fact, Weezer gold.

The Planet Smashers' Guide to Surviving Warped Tour Weekend

Matt Collyer knows Warped Tour is a festival like no other. For the Planet Smashers frontman, it is part summer camp, part punk rock boot camp, part family reunion, and part survival test. It’s also one of the reasons so many bands from the punk, ska, hardcore, and emo worlds were able to find each other, tour together, and build scenes that reached far beyond their own hometowns.

So as Warped Tour weekend returns, Collyer is going in with the right attitude. Not expecting it to be exactly what it was, but ready to feel that old energy again.

Ariana Grande Wins Fast-Track Subpoena Power to ‘Unmask’ Alleged Hackers

A Los Angeles judge has granted Ariana Grande the fast-track subpoena power she says is crucial to identifying hackers who allegedly stole her unreleased music, photos and videos, then sold the material on the “dark web” for “significant sums of money.”

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark H. Epstein ruled Wednesday that because Grande currently has no way to identify the alleged hackers, she doesn’t have to comply with a waiting period tied to providing notice to the defendants in her recently filed invasion of privacy lawsuit.
