BANKS Off with Her Head LP

California-bred singer-songwriter, Jillian Rose Banks, aka BANKS, crafts moody, alternative pop with shades of contemporary R&B. Emerging in the early 2010s with a handful of downtempo, alt-R&B tracks, BANKS created a signature sound that helped build a cross-genre audience.

Her critically acclaimed and gold-certified debut album, Goddess, featured songs like "Before I Ever Met You," "Warm Water," and "Fall Over," as well as collaborations with producers Justin Parker, Shlomo, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. The album peaked just outside the Top Ten on the Billboard 200.

In 2016, BANKS released her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Altar, which featured singles "Fuck with Myself," "Gemini Feeed," and "Mind Games," and peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200. BANKS returned in July 2019 with her third studio album, III, which featured her synth-heavy single "Gimme." Additional contributors included Francis and the Lights on "Look What You're Doing To Me" and producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Rihanna) on "Hawaiian Mazes."

She released a short EP entitled Live and Stripped in 2020, followed by her 2022 album Serpentina, which BANKS recorded amid the pandemic during months of isolation and is tied to themes of shedding old skin and embracing the new.

Says BANKS of herh fifth studio album., 2025's Off With Her Head, "In many ways, it's a big sister album to Goddess. After a decade apart, I've reunited with the core musicians and producers who helped shape my debut. At the same time, it's something entirely different — I've grown so much as an artist and a person, and the journey is documented in all these sounds."
