Review
With Life Support, Madison Beer delivers an introspective, emotional journey that dives deep into themes of heartbreak, mental health, and self-discovery. This 2021 album sees Beer taking full creative control, blending pop with alternative R&B and electronic influences, creating a sound that’s lush, personal, and sonically rich. The opener, “The Beginning,” sets a haunting tone with layered vocals and atmospheric production, almost like an invitation into her inner world.
Tracks like “Selfish” highlight Beer’s vulnerability, with lyrics that lay bare the raw pain of a broken relationship, while her vocal performance is heartfelt and haunting. In “Stained Glass,” she touches on the fragility of mental health, exploring the feeling of being scrutinized and misunderstood—a powerful anthem for anyone who’s felt isolated or judged. Meanwhile, "BOYSHIT" shifts to a more defiant tone, mixing bold lyrics with a catchy beat that’s unapologetically fierce.
Life Support stands out as a cohesive, bold step for Beer, showing her growth as an artist unafraid to experiment and tackle tough subjects. Each track feels thoughtfully crafted, both lyrically and sonically, making this album a strong, refreshing addition to modern pop. - Eva
