While Miller’s lyricism is largely consistent and sharp, the vocal production itself can come off as screechy rather than soothing. While “Swimming” mostly succeeds in being a soft, therapeutic collection of tracks, many of the shortcomings of Miller’s previous work seem to rear their ugly heads.
He is not drowning, just floating along through the many rivers life has to offer. Miller refrains from exacerbating any of his issues and instead chooses to slowly figure them out, which is perhaps best summed up by the album’s title. On the surface, some might view this as an apathetic approach, but it hardly is. There is certainly some inner turmoil but never a real war against oneself. There is self-deprecation but never a sense of real atrophy or depression. What is so interesting about “Swimming” is how, despite its subject matter, Miller never seems to be overly distraught. Cole, Miller authentically opens up about his regret in being so careless to be charged with a DUI. In songs like “Hurt Feelings,” a track produced by rapper J. Instead, Miller is far more philosophical with the intention to explore his feelings and mindset. When it comes to the latter, listeners should not expect the same kind of heartache or vengeful spew of commentary that has been so prominent lately in hip-hop. Many of the things Miller raps about on the album stem from some of the recent issues he faced in his personal life, including his DUI arrest back in May and widely-covered breakup with pop star Ariana Grande. There is an emphasis on moody and spacey beats with songs like “Perfecto” and “Wings.” The album also drifts into more funky, almost disco-like territory with the songs “Ladders?” and “What’s the Use?,” the former being one of the highlights on the entire album. “Swimming” is an album that fancies a more discrete, lukewarm approach. Today, Miller’s discography is anything but loud. Most might associate Miller with his initial breakthrough as the flamboyant, effervescent party boy seen in some of his chart-topping singles, like “Donald Trump” and “Loud.” This view of the artist comes from his first album, “Blue Slide Park” that was released back in 2011. “Swimming” is Miller’s fifth studio album, and the third under the Warner Bros. While this introspective take is a welcome one and the bevy of mellowing instrumentals are delightful, Miller’s latest project feels like a retread through his usual strengths and weaknesses that does not quite take him to the next level.
