Two years ago, Boomer Music Update raved about Borns’ Euro-sounding “Electric Love,” which went platinum and was a solid hit in both the pop and rock worlds.
We used words like fantastic, “almost a ‘Must Listen To,’” energizing and mesmerizing, modern, fun, sophisticated, polished, smart, smooth and sexy. https://boomermusicupdate.com/top-40/electric-love-sizzles-delights/
Borns’ newest, “Faded Heart,” is another high-energy production that has the urgency and the androgynous style that David Bowie projected in his 1983 giant rock and Top 40 standout, “Modern Love.”
Borns’ talent, skill and creativity are obvious—he hits his trademark high notes—but the lyrics and message are obtuse:
Galaxy, galaxy
Won’t you be my constellation?
I need someone to kiss my hands and my feet
Make me feel complete, oh, yeah
Borns, who is 25-years old, was a musical wunderkind, accruing awards and scholarships along the way. He’s from Michigan.
