Madison Beer - Life Support

Madison Beer is a very controversial artist who has been in the public eye for a long time, from accusations of copying Ariana Grande (for simple influences) to out of proportion rumors. Even so, I decided to give her a chance and I ended up loving the singles on this album showing great potential with powerful ballads and self-love hymns.

Starting with the problems of this album: it is so ambitious that it loses its focus even in its brightest moments. I felt that the production tried to be something more than it was and ended up being underdeveloped and even with a bad mix in songs like "Follow The White Rabbit". I also pointed out as a negative thing the amount of transitions and interludes that are only decent and that could be much more (and less autotuned), bringing a certain superficiality to the project as a huge concept that is simply not very deep.

But behind an all-poorly constructed concept, we have songs that are simply incredible and that captivated me a lot, especially in the ballads, "Homesick", "Selfish" and "Stained Glass" are examples of vulnerable and sincere tracks that combined a lot with her artistic personality in addition to emotional lyrics. I hope that this sample of Madison's talent will make the artist grow exponentially from now on, while this album is decent for a debut I feel that the singer can evolve authentically and with help of more consistent producers.
