Madison Beer, "Good in Goodbye" [Photo Credit: Epic]Rising pop singer Madison Beer exhibits strong vocals and awesome personality on her first single of 2020, “Good in Goodbye.”

“You’re killing my vibe / In ways words cannot describe / But I’ll try, I’ll try.” Word! Madison Beer is part of the new guard – one of many up and coming pop artists.  Entering her 21st year, Beer released her debut EP, As She Pleases, back in 2018.  Trace her roots back even further, and her debut single, “Melodies”, arrived in 2013, when she was 14 years old.  Beer is back with her first new single the new decade, “Good in Goodbye.”

Although it’s not even two-and-a-half-minutes long, there’s plenty to like about “Good in Goodbye.” The first thing that stands out are Beer’s vocals.  Those pipes are quite husky, a quality I must say that I adore in a pop vocalist (Grammy winner Dua Lipa comes to mind).  Anyways, the sound of her lower register, on the verse in particular, is quite sultry – she has a gorgeous tone.  It’s not all lower register though, as Madison also shows off her upper register, particularly when the vocal harmonies come into play.

In addition to her lead vocals, Madison Beer also has attitude, exhibiting personality.  It’s not merely the cuss words that accomplish this for her (“People started to notice all the shit you couldn’t see”), but overall, there’s confidence, sass, and of course, fun songwriting overall. The chorus is a prime example, further amplified by the sleek, colorful production work by Beer, Leroy Clampitt, and One Love:

“You put the ‘over’ in ‘lover,’ put the ‘ex’ in ‘next’
Ain’t no ‘I’ in ‘trouble,’ just the ‘U’ since we met
‘Cause you’re toxic, boy, I ain’t even gotta try to find the
G-O-O-D in goodbye.”

Final Thoughts 

Two-and-a-half short minutes of song for Madison Beer? No problem! “Good in Goodbye” is a bop thanks to great vocals, excellent production, a big personality exhibited by Beer, and fun, well-rounded songwriting.  “Good in Goodbye” is a pop song you definitely need to add to your listening rotation if you haven’t already. Give Beer some love for this surefire bop!
