Madison Beer is opening up about how the coronavirus pandemic “set back” the release of her debut album, Life Support.
In a conversation on 102.7 KIIS FM, she admits the health crisis has altered a lot of her plans this year and promised fans they’ll finally get to hear her new music in early 2021.
Madison reveals: “COVID really kind of set it back a lot but we’re getting it out at the top of 2021… I’m super pumped to get it out there.”
As for the significance behind the album title, she explains: “I was going through a really tough time mentally and [the album] was the only thing giving me hope… It was literally like life support for me.”
In a separate interview with Ryan Seacrest, Madison opens up about how her lyrics reflect her mental health struggles, saying: “I think there’s a lot of stigma around mental health.
“It’s sad we allow ourselves to judge people based off of things so surface like Instagram and social media. We’re all putting on a facade and a front at all times and I’m trying to be more open about that kind of stuff [because] it’s really important.”
She adds that finding fame at such a young age has been challenging: “I got signed and recognized when I was 12 and was kind of put on a pedestal that then over time felt more like a chopping block.”
