On this review I will be reviewing an album released this year on the 12th January 2018. It is the sophomore album (Second studio album) by Borns called "Blue Madonna".
Borns also known as Garrett Clark Borns is an American singer and songwriter from Grand Haven Michigan. He has released EPs and studio albums. I first discovered his music back in 2015 from his debut album "Dopamine". Which was a decent album if I had to give a rating for his debut album I would probably give it a 7/10. Discussing about his EPs he has released two EPs "A Dream Between", "Candy". I have only heard his second EP "Candy" which was a bit average EP but it was still good. Borns has an interesting voice. His vocals are really interesting. His vocals range sounds more like an Indie Pop and a bit of Alternative Rock. Discussing more about his albums he has released two studio albums with the record label Interscope. His debut album "Dopamine" was critically acclaimed. I thought his debut album was excellent with mixture elements of Synthpop, Psychedelic Pop. Garrett is more of an Indie Pop/Indie Rock artist. His debut album is a great start to his music career defintley a good album. 3 years later he released his second studio album "Blue Madonna". Since hearing this album what did I think of it? This album is amazing I loved this album I was really impressed. The album is well produced. They are tracks there that I thought was just excellent. This could defintley be in my "Top 20 Best Albums Of 2018" All will be revealed in December. I just love how this album changes up the tempo on some tracks. I dont understand why some critics may have thought this album was not the best but they are wrong. They clearly know that this album did not grow on them. I am so impressed on how fantastic this album is. It defintley grew on me. If you are interested finding out more about 'Borns' I would start with his debut album and then listen to his second album. I would defintley recommend listening to "Blue Madonna".
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album. Starting of with "God Save Our Young Blood" which is featured the beautiful talented 'Lana Del Rey'. Such a beautiful song. Their voices do blend well together. "Sweet Dreams". Another brilliant track. I love the harmony sounds on this amazing track. The synthesizer sound sounds awesome on this track. The bass is excellent. "Iceberg" I love how the opening of the track starts this is my second favourite overall. The bass is just too good. This is quite an underrated track. But it's still an awesome track I just love how it's well produced. "Second Night Of Summer" this track sounded like a mid 80s track. I love the chorus on the track. Another underrated track. "Supernatural" my overall favourite on the album. This track is really really good. The production really blew me. I was very impressed. Definitely the best track on the album. "Blue Madonna" which is also the name of the album and it's also a track. It's a bit repetitive but it's a decent track. "Bye-Bye Darling" this sounds like an 80s song. I just love how it has some elements representing the 80s. Awesome lyrics. My least favourite track was a track called "I Don't want U Back". I thought this was one of the weakest on the album but it's still an okay track but not my favourite.
Overall I felt really impressed with this album. I enjoyed it. I would definitely listen to it again. Overall it's a 9/10.
