PRAISE FOR BANKS

"Banks makes yearning seem like a worthwhile pastime when she sings about it in her seductive voice. The singer marries her R&B inflected tunes and warm vocals with big production and electronic beats to create magnetic pop songs. Her debut album isn't due out for months, but the singles released so far warrant setting Spotify on repeat." - Time.com

"She may have the delicate looks of a '90s Calvin Klein billboard-all dark eyes and sleek middle-parted hair- but when Banks opens her mouth, a different aspect of that decade comes to mind. Read it here first: Goldenage R&B may be looking at a renaissance. The 25-year old's throaty vocals have been compared to those of Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, a torch she carries with pride." - ELLE Magazine

"BANKS is poised to finally take her homeland in 2014. " - V Magazine

"10 rising acts you should know now... Her new single, the simmering, candlelit 'Brain,' features the vocalist's smoky tone, crawling phrasing and sinister, Massive Attack-suggestive production from established beatmaker Shlohmo." - Los Angeles Times
