Banks announces her fifth studio album, Off With Her Head
BANKS has released her brand-new single, “Best Friends” and announced her forthcoming fifth studio album, Off With Her Head.
The song follows her most recent single, “I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend” (Feat. Doechii), and “it is about someone who was my sister for many years, someone I still dream about and wake up missing. Someone who I grew apart from," Banks explains. "I think we broke each other’s hearts. This song is about the grief of that loss and honoring our love. I think it’s important to write about because although universal, friendship loss can be more difficult to process. We are never taught we can lose a friend in the same way we are taught we can lose a romantic partner. I’m happy to release a song that honors the deep beauty and romance of friendship.”
“In many ways, it’s a big sister album to Goddess," Banks says of the forthcoming album. "After a decade apart, I’ve reunited with the core musicians and producers who helped shape my debut. At the same time, it’s something entirely different— I’ve grown so much as an artist and a person, and the journey is documented in all these sounds.”
Additionally, BANKS will be releasing an acoustic version of her debut album Goddess, in honour of its ten-year anniversary. She celebrated the Goddess anniversary with special live intimate shows in London, New York, and Los Angeles where she played at the original venues in each city upon the release of Goddess.
