It's a testament to Mac's unique ability to craft songs that transport listeners to another world. The nighttime setting adds an extra layer of atmosphere, making the whole experience feel both haunting and beautiful.

In his statement about the video, Sam said, 'The track felt very visual to me-like it had its own world.' And indeed it does. 'Colors and Shapes' is a song that demands to be experienced visually, and the music video delivers in spades.

With the release of this new music video on September 15, fans can finally experience Mac Miller's masterpiece in all its glory.
