Lana Del Rey and BØRNS Team Up For 'God Save Our Young Blood'

An indie-pop collaboration dreamed up for many years has finally happened...

We'reonly three days into the new year but BØRNS might have just dropped the dreamiest song of 2018.

The electro-pop genius has teamed up with Lana Del Rey for 'God Save Our Young Blood', a luscious track of the highest calibre taken from his upcoming album 'Blue Madonna'.

Long-awaited collaborations can go either way if we're ever lucky enough to get one yet the two indie royals do not let fans down with this slinky, synth-pop banger about young love.

The hypnotising track takes you to another world from the first second, with its etherealproduction whirling into a state of euphoria by the end.

"Baby save me one last sip while you strip on the beach /I'll save you in the waves if you swim too deep," they sing. "God save, God save our young blood /God save our young love."

Sonically, it is undoubtedly a BØRNS song as it sits in the synth-heavy, indie-pop home he built with his debut EP and album, although Lana fits the track absolutely perfectly.

Speaking about the duet on Beats 1, BØRNS said,"Lana was around and I showed her some stuff on the record. I really had her in mind when I was writing 'Young Blood' and I think subliminally I was trying to do background vocals that sounded like her I was trying to do my best Lana impression."

"[When she heard it] she was like 'I feel like I'm already on this song' and I was like yeah,that's kind of what I was going for."

And just like that, we have the first 10/10 song of the year.
