Life support

"Diaristic lyricism with gut-punch honesty ... Whether she's belting out sex-positive pop songs, R&B or exploring slow-burning country twang, the LA-based singer is always defiantly herself".

"At 21, pop singer and TikTok star Madison Beer has spent an uncomfortable amount of her career navigating mini "scandals" - accusations that she copied Ariana Grande, that she lied about plastic surgery, that she romanticized Lolita ... The internet deals in absolutes, particularly for young women: She's either fake or so raw it's empowering; she's rebelling against the patriarchy or bowing to it; she's subversive or she's derivative. Beer's debut album is muddier. Life Support is rooted in authenticity but still layered in artifice, molded in the conventions of pop's more unconventional players ... The rising pop singer's debut is ambitious yet shallow, seemingly intent on proving its own seriousness".

"Indrømmet: Det meste, jeg havde hørt om Madison Beer inden denne anmeldelse var rygterne om, at hun - måske, måske ikke - skulle have fået foretaget et par kosmetiske justeringer. Og så at hun var TikTok-stjerne. Historierne om Beers personlige ærinder - som tit har overskygget hendes musikalske virke - er skideligegyldige. Men det er størstedelen af de 17 skæringer på hendes nye album Life Support desværre også".
