BANKS - Drowning (Music Video) [+ Review]


Rising music artist BANKS has recently released the music video for her track 'Drowning', which is the third track taken from her upcoming début studio album, Goddess. The aforementioned album is set for release in September later this year. The highly stylized and effortlessly artistic video for 'Drowning' sees BANKS in a reflective room adorned with mirrors, in which she confronts herself and bitterly sings about a person who was not deserving of her attention and love 'Take it/from the girl/you claim to love/you're gonna get some of that karma/ I'm the one/who had to learn/to build a heart made of armour'. 

BANKS is particularly mesmerizing and striking in the video, moving slowly around the mirrored room in her three outfits (red crop top/trousers/blazers combo, black outfit of the same description and indeed, a similar white outfit), showcasing different sides to the singer. The video is suitably dark and captivating, hinting to the possible direction the album might take (and considering the cover art, we'd say it's a pretty safe bet). We love the tone of BANKS' voice in this song and the r&b/alternative beats really make for quite an addictive track. You can watch BANKS in all her glory in the music video below:
