“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 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..“ – Time.com

“BANKS is poised to finally take her homeland in 2014. “ – V Magazine

“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

“…the buzz for her debut LP, “Goddess” (out Sept. 9 on Harvest Records) is growing. The BBC and MTV have already called out the self-taught singer — whose sound is a smoldering mix of hip-hop beats and sultry-voiced R&B — as one to watch in 2014.” – T Magazine

BANKS is thrilled to announce she will appear for the first time ever on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Monday, September 8th. She’ll perform the fan-favorite track “Brain” from her highly anticipated LP, GODDESS (out September 9th on Harvest Records). PRESS HERE to pre-order GODDESS.

The singer will also give two intimate performances while in NYC for release week of her album. On Saturday, September 6th, Tumblr IRL will present BANKS along with illustrator Kate Moross (who developed the artwork for BANKS’ LONDON EP and GODDESS) for an evening of art and music at the Openhouse Gallery. Moross’ art installations are fittingly inspired by the tracklisting on GODDESS and says, “When the Tumblr IRL project came together I thought about Jillian’s handwritten lyric sheets and how they would be the perfect foundation for this collaboration. We have taken a line or a phrase from each song and created a visual response; these responses will sit together in the gallery, and we hope they will make people really look and think about the words that are such an important part of her music.” To attend you must RSVP at http://banksatumblrirl.splashthat.com. Space will be limited, so don’t miss out on this special event!

On September 9th BANKS will be celebrating the release of her debut at Rough Trade NYC for a 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.
