Ten years after its release, The Divine Feminine is coming back to wax with a fresh coat of paint. Mac Miller's 2016 album is getting a special-edition anniversary vinyl this September, with new Chloe Scheffe cover art and three unreleased cuts from the original sessions.
The Mac Miller estate is behind the release, and preorders are open.
Leading the reissue is "Butterflies," one of those unearthed session tracks, which arrives on streaming services alongside the vinyl. The other two bonus cuts will stay exclusive to the physical edition.
The three additions offer a rare window into where Mac's head was in 2016, a period when he was leaning fully into love, intimacy, and vulnerability across some of the most soulful production of his catalog. The Divine Feminine originally arrived on September 16, 2016, and debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, marking a clear step into a more mature, confident register for the rapper.
Much of that came down to the company he kept. The record threaded alternative hip-hop through jazz, neo-soul, funk, and R&B, and it drew on a deep bench of collaborators: Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Ariana Grande, CeeLo Green, Bilal, Ty Dolla $ign, and Njomza.
A decade on, songs like "My Favorite Part" and "Congratulations" still anchor the album's reputation as one of the warmest entries in Mac's discography.
