BANKS Announces New Album “Off With Her Head”, Shares New Song “Best Friends”
American singer-songwriter BANKS has announced her upcoming fifth studio album “Off With Her Head” will be released on February 28, 2025.
The album is her first body of work in three years since the 2022 album “Serpentina”.
From the album, she unveiled the second single called “Best Friends” on November 22, 2024, following “I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend” released last month.
The song received its first play during BBC Radio 1's Chillest Show with Sian Eleri.
The track was written by Aron Forbes, Jillian Banks, Mozella, and Tim Anderson. Produced by Tim Anderson and Aron Forbes.
BANKS said of the song, “It is about someone who was my sister for many years, someone I still dream about and wake up missing. Someone who I grew apart from. I think we broke each other's hearts. This song is about the grief of that loss and honoring our love. I think it's important to write about because although universal, friendship loss can be more difficult to process. We are never taught we can lose a friend in the same way we are taught we can lose a romantic partner. I'm happy to release a song that honors the deep beauty and romance of friendship.”- The new album comprises 12 songs, featuring a guest appearance from American rapper Doechii.
BANKS said of the album, “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.”
She will release an acoustic version of her debut album “Goddess” on December 13, 2024, to celebrate its ten-year anniversary. - source : Apple Music
