Friday 26^th February 2021, London, UK: Today Madison Beer releases her highly anticipated debut album, Life Support, nine years to the day since her first post on YouTube.

Candid, audacious and sonically eclectic Madison Beer’s Life Support is a strong personal and artistic statement from a self-made star who refuses to play by pop’s usual rules. It sees Madison where she thrives – commanding creative control through writing her own songs, producing and creating her own visuals.

Expressing and inspiring a rollercoaster of emotions through spellbinding vocals over a broad-ranging sound-bed reflective of Madison’s own diverse musical tastes, LifeSupport is experimental, honest and ardent. It pushes the boundaries of accepted lyrical norms from female singer songwriters in pop in the same way as Rina Sawayama’s SAWAYAMA or Hayley Williams’ Petals For Armor do. There are references to mental health and prescription drugs, to the dizzying highs and rock-bottom lows of toxic relationships and to the atypical life that Madison has led since famously being discovered on YouTube aged just 12.

“Writing songs is like therapy for me.” says Madison Beer.“That’s why this album is called Life Support. It helped me get rid of the darkness and see the light. My inspirations sonically are really diverse. I guess I’m not an easy artist to pigeonhole, and a lot of these songs are like nothing I’ve ever attempted before. All of me is laid bare on this album; it’s been a really fulfilling experience to create something that feels so true to myself. Making music taught me a safe way of being vulnerable. It forced me to put my feelings into words, to hold a mirror up to myself and translate that into something tangible. There was a time in my life where the promise of going to the studio was the only thing getting me out of bed in the morning. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s my lifeline. I can put something into a song and then let it go, send it out into the world. When fans tell me I’ve put a voice to something they’ve been feeling, it’s as affirming for me as it is for them.”

Alongside previously released singles “Good In Goodbye”, “Selfish”, “Baby” and “BOYSHIT” (which have a combined stream count of over 500 million), Life Supporthighlights include: the melodramatic, shape-shifting “Default”; the otherworldly “Homesick” with its Rick and Morty sample (a homage to Madison’s favourite TV show); The Matrix-inspired “Follow The White Rabbit” set to throbbing bass, tolling bells and twanging guitar; and the country-tinged album closer “Everything Happens For A Reason” – a last look back before moving on. Madison will be performing “BOYSHIT” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 1^st March.

Madison will perform the album in full for the first time at Madison Beer Presents: LIFE SUPPORT IN CONCERT – a fully stylized, globally streamed concert which Madison has developed in partnership with Headliner. The innovative concert will take place at www.headliner.live on 6^th & 7^th March across five time zones (see below for full schedule). Tickets are available to purchase now from MadisonBeer.Live

Prior to signing with Epic Records late last year, Madison Beer achieved unprecedented success as an independent artist with her partner First Access Entertainment, having sold over 1 million records in the UK alone. Her debut EP As She Pleases made her the first independent female solo artist to break into the Top 20 radio charts, after having debuted in the Top 5 on iTunes in 18 countries and in the Top 10 in 42 countries worldwide. Following the release of As She Pleases Madison featured on Platinum Certified UK Top 10 hit “All Day and Night” by Europa and “Pop/Stars” by K/DA which topped Billboard’s world digital song sales chart.

Globally, Madison has independently amassed over 3 billion streams across her catalogue and built a huge, engaged and ever growing fanbase on social media (22.6millon+ on Instagram, 13million+ on TikTok and 3million+ on Twitter). She has attracted the endorsement of Time, NME, Complex, The Guardian, V Magazine, Paper and Rolling Stone who hailed her as a “rising pop star”. Billboard said “BOYSHIT”, her most recent single release “makes a late case for one of the best pop chorus openings of 2020”. Madison was tapped as a VEVO Lift artist 2021, joining alumni Billie Eilish, Jorja Smith, and SZA and is the MTV Push artist for March.

Madison Beer’s Life Support is on license from First Access Entertainment to Epic Records.

The long-awaited debut is defiantly Madison, an album written as catharsis, delivered as a document of all she’s experienced and a self-care guide to coming out the other side.
