Banks has shared new single "Better", her first fresh material since her debut album in 2014.
Banks has been steadily creeping back into our lives recently, with two new collaborations hitting the airwaves - one with Chet Faker, and another with TALA - but this is the first material we've had that's undiluted Banks.
The track debuted on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 show, where Banks told him that "Better" "came out like a growl inside me..."
A new album from Banks is expected in 2016. It'll follow last year's Goddess.
