Last week, Taylor Swift tweeted to let her followers know about Børns, a recent Artist to Watch honoree, alerting the masses to the treasure trove of talent that the Los Angeles transplant has to offer. In an exclusive performance of his new song, “10,000 Emerald Pools” — with only an acoustic guitar and a piano player at his side — Børns puts his lilting folk-pop vocals on full display as he plucks away and harmonizes with his partner. He does the track justice, breathing new, organic life into the previously electro-heavy Candy EP cut. Watch the performance above and look for Børns on his upcoming tour with MisterWives this spring.
