"A moody songwriter with a soprano that can lash out or project a dolorous haze..." - New York Times
“Sounds Like: Midnight R&B melodies intermingled with post-grime and post-Grimes beats — and a penchant for Fiona Apple...Why You Should Pay Attention: Jillian Banks went from un-Googleable to unavoidable in early 2013…” - RollingStone.com

"Banks' sonic ambition and willingness to risk alienating a pop audience with Goddess' gloomy, tweaky beats are admirable." -Entertainment Weekly

"It's all woozy mystery, enshrouding its treat-her-right admonishments in an arrangement that often obscures her intentions. 'Goddess' sounds like fodder for a thousand varyingly ominous remixes, making it an ideal introduction to an artist whose 2014 has been spent revealing herself slowly and deliberately." - NPR All Songs Considered

"The World's Most Blogged About Artist For 2014 So Far" - Hype Machine 2014 Mid-Year Zeitgeist

Los Angeles critically acclaimed singer, BANKS, releases her highly anticipated debut album GODDESS today on Harvest Records. PRESS HERE<https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/goddess-deluxe-version/id866276916> to purchase GODDESS. Featuring production by the likes of Lil Silva, SOHN, TEED, Shlohmo, and Tim Anderson, GODDESS is a gorgeous fourteen song collection that instantly affirms why the bewitching and beguiling singer has rapidly become one of 2014’s most exciting new artists.

To celebrate the album release, BANKS has taken over Hype Machine's Tumblr page today (she'll take over Gorilla Vs. Bear's Tumblr page on Thursday, September 11th) and will be interacting with fans by posting some GODDESS inspired visuals and content throughout the day. Also today, BANKS will be a part of the evolution of Rdio as she will be the first artist - ever - to host the digital music service’s "Artists To Watch" station, which features music from 20 exploding artists hand-selected earlier this year by Rdio. Fans can PRESS HERE<https://www.rdio.com/stations/people/rdiocurated/playlists/10939169/Rdio_Artists_To_Watch/> to listen to BANKS talk about her new album, her musical influences and what artists she has been discovering and enjoying.

Tonight, BANKS will make an appearance at Rough Trade NYC for a special live performance and signing. Fans will need to purchase GODDESS via Rough Trade NYC in order to gain entry to this event. Visit http://www.roughtradenyc.com/event/669831-banks-brooklyn for more information.
