Madison Beer Essentials

While an early name-check from Justin Bieber brought Madison Beer into the public eye at age 13, she’s since matured into quite the pop provocateur. Collaborations with K-pop superstars (K/DA and (G)I-dle on “POP/STARS”), house-music giants (Jax Jones & Martin Solveig on “All Day and Night”), and hip-hop hitmakers (Offset on “Hurts Like Hell”) prove Beer’s impressive range, but so does her solo work. On her 2021 debut album, Life Support, she slips seductively into a Lana Del Rey-like reverie on “Blue,” sizzles atop a dark dance-pop beat on “BOYSHIT,” and shows off her rich, sultry soprano on the hushed heartbreaker “Selfish.”
