Madison Beer - Clumsy (2014)

Madison Elle Beer was born on 5 March 1999 in Jericho, New York, and appeared on the cover of Child magazine after winning a modelling competition at four years old. In early 2012 she began posting videos on YouTube of her singing covers of popular songs, and one of them gained the attention of Justin Bieber, who tweeted a link to her cover of Etta James's 'At Last' to his followers. This caused Beer to trend worldwide on Twitter and gain substantial media coverage, after which Bieber signed her personally to his record label Island Records. In September 2013 she released her debut single and music video called 'Melodies', which was written by Peter Kelleher, Ben Kohn, Thomas Barnes and Ina Wroldsen, and the video featured a guest appearance by Bieber. Beer then began work on her debut album, which was slated to have pop and R&B influences, stating there "will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are". She released her second single, 'Unbreakable', in June 2014 as a taster for her album, and in February 2015 it was announced that she was set to be a featured artist on a new single by DJ Mako titled 'I Won't Let You Walk Away', which reached number 19 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay charts in the US when it was released. Two more singles followed in 2017, but there was silence on the album front, and eventually fans had to accept that it had been scrapped, and they had to wait until 2021 for her actual debut album 'Life Support' to appear. Some of the songs recorded during 2013 and 2014 have since appeared online, so if we add those to the early singles we can get an idea of what an album from the then 15-year old singer might have sounded like.
