Banks is back with powerful new pop ballad "Crowded Places"
LA-based R&B sensation Banks has shared "Crowded Places", a darkly euphoric new number about "social anxiety and falling in love."
Banks' new track is a collaboration with Jack Antonoff (who recently shared a new solo single as Bleachers) and Tim Anderson. It's set to feature during the final season of HBO series Girls.
"There's a lot less anxiety," Banks told us recently during an interview about second record The Altar. "It was super hard to adjust the first time round. I hard a really hard time with it all; I had a really hard time with touring. Even just playing my songs for people was so hard... I wasn't used to it. My songs are like the most intimate parts of who I am and it felt strange to sing that in front of people and have people watch as I go through these emotions. I felt naked in front of millions of people... you have to go through it once to find out what works for you because no two people are the same. There's no handbook to this job. I had to write my own."
I wrote something special for the last season of GIRLS. Shoutout to social anxiety and falling in love.https://t.co/EE4Rv36tID pic.twitter.com/6b23qnirMv
