My bedroom is my safe space. I feel like when I’m in my room it’s the one moment out of my crazy life that allows me to focus on myself and be present. Having that time is so important and it’s those little moments that matter!”

Madison Beer – “Reckless”
Madison Beer is back with a new single, “Reckless”. The melancholic piece takes the best of the pop singer-songwriter’s powerful voice.

I believe there is a balance to putting ourselves and our feelings first, while knowing we have the responsibility of treating people with respect, kindness, and consideration. It’s so important to find that balance in every relationship and knowing when to move on if you can’t.”
