This week, iTunes features the electro-rock music of BØRNS as the iTunes Single of the Week. Originating from suburban Grand Haven, Michigan, Garrett Borns has been interested in the arts dating back to his magic days as “Garrett the Great.” The Michigan native received a National Scholastic Art Award at the young age of 13 years old. Since receiving the accolade, the now 22 year old favors his last name only, solely releasing music under the artistic guise of BØRNS.

“10,000 Emerald Pools” begins with an instantly catching beat, oozing a calm surfer vibe. The track starts with Borns’ relaxing, smooth vocals; he later strikes listeners with the swift progression of his song. Initially a laid back song with a solid L.A. vibe, the song builds upon its foundation to form a strong indie hit. Hailing a near dizzying sound, Borns’ track is an immediate hit with a serene vibe.

With such an infectious rhythm and sound, “10,000 Emerald Pools” can be listened to on repeat without ever becoming irritating. BØRNS delivers a euphoric vocal performance on this dreamy track. Coupled with a lighthearted and floaty foundation, BØRNS plunks out vigorous guitar rifts emphasizing his spirit and passion for music. BØRNS’s new record will undoubtedly charm listeners, showing itself as a truly charming album for aficionados of all music genres.
