It hurts to say this but she's really one of my faves who IMO lost it a bit in 2019. Her latest record hasn't left any lasting impression on me; the songs were mediocre and overproduced, her lyrics lost a bit of introspection, her vocals were a tad too grating and her live show was pretty much a revamp of the Altar Tour with the same staging and choreographing. Also, this live and stripped Version of Drowning is not it. Wonder how she'll move on, right now this is not my Banks era, but I thought the same about Jessie Ware with Glasshouse and now I'm super excited for record #4.
III is one of my favorite albums of all time. I can't imagine not liking it, but, it comes down to taste I guess because it is different than her other stuff.
Same. Her debut is arguably the greatest album of all time, in my opinion, but it has been a slight downward slope since.
Not that unpopular since it's also my opinion. For me, The Altar is Banks at the highest highs, whereas both III and Goddess are good, but sometimes a little bit filler'y.
I’m with you on that. Goddess might have some of her best songs but it’s bloated with some of her worst as well
Ugh her voice and the way she sings is so beautiful. My favorite thing about III is the blend of the way her vocal style is, and the way the glitchy electronic sounds on a lot of the songs. But it's nice to hear the song without all the electronic production, because the song still holds up because of how great she is at vocalizing.
She’s cute but cute next to gorgeous... I’ve also changed my mind and decided Brain is the one to beat.
