The announcement of the mixtapes release on streaming services next month arrives alongside a new music video for Faces highlight Colours and Shapes. Its director Sam Mason speaks on the work: The track felt very visual to melike it had its own world. This atmospheric night time place that was sometimes dangerous, sometimes comforting, then I saw a picture of Ralph and a story emerged. To build it out I asked Malcolms family to send me bits and pieces from his childhood, scenes from the town where he grew up, objects, toys from his roomlittle pieces of his life that I extrapolated outwards and used to inspire the story. In the abstract, its meant to be a video about childhoodgrowing up as an artist and the highs and lows of that experience. Its sort of a look at the emotional and difficult and perilous but noble path of an artist. Stay tuned for more Mac Miller and Faces news soon.
