Profile:

Known for her dark and brooding yet melodic sound, which has been described as everything from avant-pop and alternative R&B to electropop and trip-hop, Jillian Rose Banks, aka BANKS, is one of the most continually intriguing singer-songwriters around. Since releasing her absorbing debut album Goddess in 2014, the California native has made her name with a succession of deftly produced tracks that are by turns moody, sultry and poignant, drawing comparisons to Feist, Erykah Badu and The Weeknd, as well as longtime influences Lauryn Hill and Fiona Apple. Don’t miss her Clockenflap debut.

BANKS 成長於陽光明媚嘅洛杉磯,早期作品如〈Waiting Game〉、〈Warm Water〉深受Fiona Apple與Massive Attack影響,建立出招牌嘅冰冷黑暗系 R&B 風格。以開場嘉賓身份與 The Weeknd 完成大型巡演,入選BBC Sound of 2014嘅BANKS同年發表首張專輯《Goddess》,以超級新人姿態一舉突入Billboard 200嘅第12位。2016年《The Altar》專輯收錄嘅〈Gemini Feed〉、〈Gimme〉等人氣單曲,展現出更大器同時更具情緒渲染力嘅 alt-pop功架。2022年推出第四張個人大碟《Serpentina》,混合downtempo、synthwave、民謠、以至福音等不同元素,繼續交出〈Holding Back〉、〈Skinnydipped〉等心碎而有力嘅高質新作,嚟緊各位樂迷終於有機會現場感受佢喺Clockenflap嘅香港首演!
