BANKS Announces Release Of Debut Full-Length Album

U.S Music Sensation BANKS has announced the release of her hotly anticipated debut album Goddess on September 5th via EMI NZ /Universal Music. The album features nine brand new tracks as well as underground favourites 'Waiting Game', 'Brain', 'This Is What It Feels Like', 'Change' and 'Warm Water'.

The announcement follows a fever pitch build which has seen BANKS emerge as a star in the making as part of a new generation of forward thinking artists. From the acclaimed London EP to two consecutive sold out headline shows at London's Koko to a triumphant performance in front of a thousand-strong, packed-to-the-rafters tent at Coachella – a performance that was highlighted by everyone from Time Magazine to The Guardian – it is clear that every transmission from BANKS is waited upon with bated breath.

Album title track ‘Goddess’ offers a scintillating preview from the forthcoming full length and is available to download now via iTunes with pre-orders of the album. Produced by frequent collaborator Lil Silva, it’s a powerful mission statement of throbbing bass, exotic hymn-like melody and the memorable refrain of "she's a goddess, you never got this". Simultaneously empowering and vulnerable, confident and yearning, visceral and keenly intelligent – ‘Goddess’ embodies the beaconing allure, get-under-your-skin lyrics and innovative musical palette that have defined BANKS singular sound.
