Madison Beer’s third studio album, "locket," emerges as a personal collection that comes across as a private diary fastened shut, until now. Deliberately positioned with the quiet self-assurance of an artist who has genuinely found her voice, it’s a personal 11-track voyage that mirrors both personal growth and artistic evolution. At 33 minutes and 35 seconds, "locket" is short, sharp, and unforgettable, like a locket you keep closed until it’s time to feel. As Madison herself reveals, each song resides in this symbolic "locket" for safekeeping. Every album, she says, is a new era of her life, and once it’s out, the chapter closes. "locket" is no different, every track serves as a photograph of emotion, preserved for herself and her fans.
Crafted with a powerhouse team of collaborators such as Madison Beer, Leroy Clampitt, Jasper Harris, Lostboy, and Tim One Love Sommers, the album showcases the calm blend of openness and dynamism that has made 2019’s Liv a bona fide industry force. “make you mine” has already received impressive accolades, nominated for Best Dance-Pop Recording at the 2025 Grammy Awards, the song attests to Madison’s undeniable pop prowess, which is both genuine and impactful.
But "locket" is a complete narrative. From the playful posture of yes baby,which Madison has coined fun and flirty and destined to be belted out with friends, talking about "bittersweet,” a song she penned about the end of a chapter you don’t fully realize is ending until it’s over, Art offers an equilibrium between light and dark, strength and weakness.
The project also shows Madison’s desire to bring some energy to her live sets.“make you mine” was written from scratch for her tour, a new song designed to give fans something uptempo in the midst of all those ballads about breaking up on the record. It’s also a reminder that Madison’s artistry is at once deeply personal and wildly communal, music designed to be felt alone and also shared with thousands. With "locket", Madison Beer is creating a small, intimate space for listeners to inhabit. It’s an album that keeps its secrets close and manages to suck you in just the same.
