Banks- Send Her A Text
Banks was a grower for me. The first track I caught onto was the Snakehips Remix of "Warm Water". The bouncy synth induced remix left me wanting more! After listening to the original it felt as though Snakehips had enhanced the track so well it could have been the original. Perhaps it was the summer rays that drew me to higher energy pop sounds. Regardless I continued listening and with the seasonal change a fondness grew. The autumn chill welcomed exquisite timing for Banks' latest EP London, fully embracing her darker, sultry sound with ease.
She finds an enthralling balance, delivering her intimate lyrics often in a matter of fact tone during verses yet hitting you with a raw, emotional chorus. Trust me you'll be singing along in no time! An infectious beat serves as the foundation to "Bedroom Wall" (a personal favorite), periodically soft almost billowy rockets and explosions sound in the distance alongside subtle chimes. The track swells to the very end with Banks' hauntingly delicate voice echoing "... do I have to write it on your bedroom wall you fool".
Currently the young singer songwriter is on tour with The Weeknd. They'll be wrapping up The Fall Tour (yep) at the end of next month in the UK. It would be very interesting to see if a collaboration between Banks and The Weeknd takes form! Enjoy the visual for "This Is What It Feels Like" below and be sure to listen to Banks' EP London in full via soundcloud or help her become the #1 Emerge Artist on Spotify.
