Disclosure‘s Guy Lawrence co-wrote a track off Mac Miller‘s newly released posthumous album Circles, and he’s opening up the bittersweet experience.
In the posts below, Guy describes working with Mac as both a “honor” and a “privilege.” Together, the two spent a “great day” in the studio a few years back and wrote “Blue World,” a bright, synth-filled future bass production over which the hip hop legend flows, seemingly effortlessly.
Finally, the song comes to light…
Guy opens up in a tweet below: “Like so much of Mac’s music, the meaning of this song has changed so much for me since his passing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did writing it with such a sweet, kind & talented man.”
Yesterday would have been Mac Miller’s 28th birthday.

A few years ago, I had the honour and privilege of writing some music with the late great Mac Miller. We had a great day in the studio and wrote a song together called ‘Blue World’ which I’m delighted to say is out now. pic.twitter.com/Ygejmbvwiw
