Hello readers,
I will be writing a music review on this dark, R&B singer, Banks who released her debut album last month, Goddess.
Before writing, I shall explained about this beautiful lady. Banks stood out from the featured page on YouTube with her song, Beggin For Thread and I have to say she has his mysterious aura which made me wanted to check out her other music videos. From the comments I have seen on her YouTube page, there has a comparison made between Banks and Lana Del Rey since both started off as indies which I shall dismissed they have different music genres and 'storytelling'.
Now back to the review, Goddess is an album which brings this dark, beautiful aura and with 18 songs (I bought the deluxe version), all the songs are entertaining. Some of the songs like You Should Know Where I'm Coming From are acoustic and her vocal is mystifying. Drowning and Brain are songs which you need to watched the music videos and take note of the femme fatale's persona, they are very chilling and beautifully written. Overall of Goddess is that I have no disliking of the songs and because of that, this album is something I can listened to on repeat.
If you were to ask me what is my favourite song off Goddess, I would say Stick as the drumsticks and the female Justin Timberlake-inspired vocal style are so sick. Banks is simply the interesting singer-songwriter of 2014 I ever discovered through indie music channel. Definitely recommended to listen and if you haven't, go to Spotify!
