    The Beginning, The Middle, & The End | S3E19

    On BANKS’ critically-acclaimed third record, III, growth is not an option. It is the ONLY way out of the messiness explored on the album. Between learning to reclaim her fierceness and hitting rock bottom in love, BANKS’ versatility and known insightful perspective was more powerful than ever. As one of the most intelligent, psychologically deep musicians of this generation, BANKS has never had a problem with making records that mixes deep thinking with relatability, backed by her signature catchy, glitchy sound. On III, there’s a certain level of realness encompassing it that very few artists can do.
