One of the most distinctive features of Borrell's singing is the way he creates a sense of urgency and intensity, even in more mellow or introspective songs.

Another key aspect of Borrell's vocal style is his use of vibrato, which adds a natural, organic quality to his singing.

Borrell also makes use of falsetto, particularly in higher registers, to add a sense of emotional depth and vulnerability to his singing. To work on this technique, check out Singing Carrots' Vocal Pitch Monitor, which offers a visual representation of your singing and can help you identify areas where you may need to work on your falsetto.

Finally, it's worth taking note of Borrell's use of consonant sounds in his singing, particularly in songs like "America" and "Before I Fall to Pieces." By using harder consonant sounds, Borrell is able to create a more percussive, driving quality to his vocals.
