Even when she’s rejecting therapists’ advice and flipping the bird to exes’ exes, BANKS sounds positively revitalised on her fifth studio album Off With Her Head. Jillian Banks’ follow-up to 2022’s Serpentina largely jettisons the smoky balladry that marked its predecessor in favour of sharp, skipping electro-pop—representing something of a full-circle back to her star-making 2014 debut, Goddess. The callback is more than skin-deep, as BANKS brings back several key collaborators from her early days—including UK dance impresarios like Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs and Lil Silva, as well as moody alt-R&B auteur SOHN—to pitch in when it comes to Off With Her Head’s sonically multifarious production. A few new friends join in, too: Sampha’s unmistakable vocals mark the pulsing pop of “Make It Up”, while the ascendant rap superstar Doechii brings her fiery personality on “I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend” with unmistakable lyrical bon mots like “Wrap a bow around your coffin like it’s Christmas.”Even when she’s rejecting therapists’ advice and flipping the bird to exes’ exes, BANKS sounds positively revitalised on her fifth studio album Off With Her Head.

DoechiiBANKS feat. SamphaBANKS feat. YseultBANKSJillian Rose Banks (born June 16, 1988), known mononymously as Banks (often stylized in all caps), is an American singer and songwriter. Following the release of two extended plays—Fall Over and London—in 2013, she signed with Harvest Records to release her debut studio album, Goddess (2014). It was met with positive critical reception and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200, while its single, "Beggin for Thread" received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her second and third studio albums, The Altar (2016) and III (2019) were met with similar success, peaking at numbers 17 and 21 respectively on the chart; the latter saw her furthest critical acclaim. After departing Harvest Records, she released her fourth studio album Serpentina independently in 2022. Exploring a more experimental sound than her previous work, it achieved modest commercial success but received favorable reviews from music critics. Its follow-up Off with Her Head is slated for release in February 2025.
