    A fantastic, brilliant, and very cohesive album! The aesthetics and romantic mood surrounding his work in this record are very stunning and surreal to say the least. The collaborations with Del Rey are also spot on; he is definitely on the right track with his techniques and abilities in crafting such angelic and mesmerizing music. 10/10

    BØRNS has a certain electricity in his music that is infectious, and it is carried through most of the performances here on 'Blue Madonna'. Not only is this the highlight of his musical career, but it is an energetic step in a new direction.

    Borns knows how to make a creative album, cohesive and not tiresome to the ears. His evolution from Dopamine to Blue Madonna is crisp and great. I really like it!

    Børns no es un artista para cualquier persona, es por eso que a muchos no les pareció tan buen álbum, pero creo que cuando lo escuchas 2-3 veces te empiezas a dar cuenta que SE CAG0 EN MIERGA‼️

    Vocals are great, Instrumentation is great. More catchy hooks than his first album. Could progress a little more as a songwriter. I believe his best music is yet to be created.

    Garret It stands out for a new vibration full of emotions.
    Blue Madonna shows us the versatility of this artist, referring to the fresh and vibrant rhythms that he has used in the album. Without a doubt, it is one of the best works of this year.

    Every single song keeps you interested and the way each track switches when you least expect it, keeps the overall tone untouched while simultaneously creating a weirdly haunting vibe. Very seductive melodies and the album has such an underlying dark tone overall. Blue Madonna is refreshing and can be set apart from most music being released now. Absolutely a masterpiece.

    There are moments of transporting brilliance, particularly during Iceberg, Tension and Blue Madonna, but Borns’s best work is surely still to come.

    Børns has improved technically as a singer since his last record, and he’s smart not to cede the spotlight to Del Rey, instead using the album to twist his peculiar brand of romantic retrofuturism into inventive new shapes.

    Exploring new directions with experimental confidence, an ever-playful BØRNS takes the necessary steps in artistic maturation on Blue Madonna, a worthy and satisfying follow-up for the mischievous Lothario.
