BANKS - Serpentina

Re: BANKS - Before I Ever Met You + General Discussion

As much as I love The Weeknd, his music has a lot of sleaziness going on, and what's amazing about her cover is how it takes said sleaziness and makes it sultry and delicious.
Anymore news on an album yet? I'm here for more BANKS / S O H N collaborations.

Also, has anybody else here bought a vinyl/CD copy of London EP? I've bought myself one of each and apparently there were errors with processing my orders... Just wondered if anybody else had this issue?

Why am I just now seeing this? She's really adorable and articulate.

I just learnt that she cowrote Before I Ever Met You with Jesse Rogg, who cowrote songs with Sam Sparro for his first album, including Black & Gold. Her incredible collaborators list continues to grow.

I got the CD too. Didn't want a vinyl as I don't use them.

Anybody that cites both Brandy and Fiona Apple as influences is alright with me: http://www.clashmusic.com/features/into-the-light-clash-meets-banks.

Apparently her album will be released in early 2014 (still getting used to 2014 being this year): http://www.hernameisbanks.com/image/68939171249.

Waiting Game is everything I need from music right now.

Re: BANKS - Before I Ever Met You + General Discussion

I bought the CD, but I want a London vinyl so, so badly. It was the best musical release of 2013.

They should get more, I was put on backorder for like, 3 weeks when I ordered.

Want! I'm so sad the signed copies sold out so quickly.

I hope we get an announcement soon! Spring album, please.

I have the link to order the Sold Out vinyl open, and I'll basically be refreshing it every day. *crosses fingers*

Third on BBC's Sound of 2014 poll - fingers crossed she gets an album out sooner than Angel Haze (third in 2013) and Azealia Banks (2012)!

Re: BANKS - Before I Ever Met You + General Discussion

She said she's in the finishing touches stage, so I'm imagining a late winter 2014 release.

The beginning of the album campaign maybe?

Can't wait for this! Hopefully we'll get the album release date soon.

And hopefully said album won't be full of old tracks like most debut albums seem to do nowadays.

I tend to agree, but I can't imagine a debut without 'Before I Ever Met You', 'Waiting Game', 'This Is What It Feels Like' and 'Change' not featuring, prominently.

Very excited to hear Brain.
