CRITIC REVIEWS

An immediate step up, ‘Silence Between Songs’ feels more sonically cohesive than Madison’s first record, literally and figuratively stepping into her groove with a record that’s surprisingly cool.

While those who are expecting bops might find themselves taken aback by the lulling nature of the sound, Beer has opted for a generally more cohesive sound. While some tracks do run the risk of sounding samey in terms of production, the main strengths of this album lie in Beer’s powerful voice and transparent lyrics.

Beer’s a strong contender for newfound pop princess status, but her sophomore album is hindered by a bout of Disney balladry. Perhaps she’s still in her prologue.

Alt-pop that flows throughout its world seamlessly, slowly getting smaller and smaller.
Madison Beer has become quite the celebrity over the last few years or so as an influencer, singer, and even recently, Twitch streamer. She follows a kind of collection of artists that I absolutely adore as people and would love to have a chat with, but either don't care about or don't like their art. Others in that category include Lewis Capaldi, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift (even though I think I'm slipping ... read more
Sonically, it's a more cohesive listen than her debut album but "Silence Between Songs" lacks the quirks and the experimentation that made "Life Support" so captivating in the first place. For this record, it sounds like Madison compromised her sound to make an album that's more commercially friendly and unfortunately, at times, forgettable.
However, Madison has never sounded better than on some of the tracks on this record and proves to be a vocal powerhouse. It's ... read more
