It’s just a week before Banks issues her debut album “Goddess” through Harvest Records.
L.A. based Jillian Banks plays dark and melancholy R&B.
She says that the sounds she creates helps her release the emotions within her.
Strange batwing flaps [of rhythm] fill the air.
And the crystal vocal absorbs the moonblood – as it grows strong in the dark velvet of the night-blooming.
The rhythms and sounds that surround the cold-blue ripples of voice influence her precise movements. Like a sail-ship on a molten sea.
And the voice rises and falters. Like a sparrow – doubtful that a nearby predator is fully asleep.
You’ll recognize the progressive sounds in this song – reminiscent of Kate Bush and also notice other more commercial ideas. These may remind you of the sadness and pain of Lana Del Rey.
But all in all – this is a heady concoction. Created by a queen of the night.
