Life Support

A pop singer who made her film and recording debuts in 2013 at the age of 14, Madison Beer remained in the public eye for much of the rest of the 2010s with a series of singles, onscreen appearances, collaborations with the likes of Cody Simpson and Offset, and the Billboard 200-charting EP As She Pleases (2018). She delivers her full-length debut, Life Support, having entered her twenties. Featuring production by Beer and co-writer Leroy Clampitt, aka Big Taste (Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa), the album's 17 tracks address subject matter including breakups, grief, and struggles with mental health with a mix of pop, R&B, and alternative stylings and song titles like "Good in Goodbye," "Sour Times," and "Stay Numb and Carry On." A vulnerable outing on the whole, Life Support returned her to the Billboard 200 (peaking at 65) and landed in the Top 30 in the U.K., Ireland, and Canada. ~ Marcy Donelson
