The Divine Feminine is the fourth studio album by American rapper Mac Miller. It was released on September 16, 2016, by Warner Bros. Records and REMember Music. The album features guest appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Anderson Paak, Ty Dolla Sign and Ariana Grande, among others.

The album was supported by three singles: "Dang!" featuring Anderson Paak, "We" featuring CeeLo Green, and "My Favorite Part" featuring Ariana Grande. It received generally positive reviews from critics, and charted at number two on the Billboard 200.

According to Miller, the album was not about love (romantic), but rather about learning from women throughout his life and what those experiences mean to him.

The album's first single, "Dang!" was released on July 28, 2016. The track features guest appearance from American recording artist Anderson Paak, while the production was handled by Pomo. The music video for "Dang!" was released on August 2, 2016.

The album's second single, "We" was released on August 19, 2016. The track features guest appearance from American singer-songwriter CeeLo Green, while the production was handled by Frank Dukes and Kaan Gunesberk.

The album's third single, "My Favorite Part" was released on September 9, 2016. The track features guest appearance from a fellow American recording artist Ariana Grande, while the production was handled by MusicManTy.

The Divine Feminine received generally positive reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on 9 reviews. Andy Kellman of AllMusic said, "At all times, Miller and his associates are on the same page. Another aspect that makes this the rapper's most fulfilling album is that all the lines about being saved and in awe seem to be expressed with as much ease as the anatomical references, like they're plain facts, not wrenching confessions." Narsimha Chintaluri of HipHopDX said, "The listenability is at an all-time high, but the writing itself is still lackluster." Marshall Gu of PopMatters said, "Mac Miller isn't a good rapper, and he definitely can't carry a note, though he tries to do that a lot on this one. However, he has a vision of what he wanted this album to sound like and then carried it through with all the right producers and features, which is a talent in and of itself." Sheldon Pearce of Pitchfork said, "It's easily his most intoxicating release yet, an odyssey of soulful compositions paring down his expansive and eclectic soundboard from the last few years into something distinctly cozy and pleasant."
