    It is a very good album, which experiences pop, r&b and a little soul, the lyrics are very personal and tell the story about problems she went through, and they become more personal because she composes all and produces 16 songs from all over the world. the album, the sound quality and very good, I'm hooked.

    Truly an amazing album. I don’t like pop music too much but Madison did a great job with this album. Me and my kids, bop to this album everyday since it came out because it speaks about serious and mature topics, every artist should talk. Great job Madison!!!!

    this album is truly a masterpiece. She poured her heart and soul into this project and is spectacular, not a single bad song and all being so unique with her own unique touch with wonderful productions! After being torn up by the internet and the industry, she's fınally here to STAY and i couldn't be prouder of her! Life Support IS Album Of The Year.

From the heartbreaking ballads to the empowering anthems, Madison has provided a broad spectrum of sounds and artistic executions that provide insight into the life of a 21 year old woman and her struggles, conveying strong & relatable emotions through varied topics of discussion. Notably, the album pushes successfully beyond the boundaries of a breakup album and steps into the world of mental health struggles (Depression, Anxiety & Medication) and the rollercoaster of emotions that can follow (loss, fear, loneliness). Additionally, the album is full of personal flair. With the 'Rick & Morty' sample, to the astrology references, Life Support develops its own personality as a project that only Madison Beer could truly articulate. From the word-play, to the numerical countdowns, Madison Beer possesses a clear understanding of the formula to a great pop song and excels in execution. This is a debut for the history books and one that deserves better.… Expand

    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.

    While some tracks could stand to have their ideas explored more fully – in particular “Default” which ends suddenly right as things start to swell – this is still a satisfying listen from start to finish.

    On a lesser album, the eclecticism might lead to a lack of coherence, but this record is always threaded through with Beer’s diaristic lyricism. With its consistent, gut-punching honesty and witty wordplay, you’ll always find something special on ‘Life Support’.
