Continuing her exploration in sound and artistic direction, LA siren Banks today reveals yet another new song flanked by heavy weight production.
Where SOHN and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs tapped into Banks’ pained delivery on her seemingly fractious love life (on ‘Waiting Game’ and ‘Warm Water’ respectively), here Jamie Woon and Lil Silva paint a more straight ahead R&B backbone that houses a more groove based approach.
No doubt another stone cold beauty, what ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ loses in raw emotion it more than makes up in natural swagger. Dive in below.
