Resgatando referencias na onda trip-hop que invadia as pistas a mais ou menos uma década atrás, a Banks nós surpreendeu no começo do ano com "Before I Ever Met You", canção de batidas eletrônicas orgânicas e um ligeiro toque de experimentalismo. Pouco depois, seguindo o mesmo caminho sombrio e apostando em uma proposta diferente de sua estreia, a cantora nos presenteou com a incrível e ainda assim versátil “Fall Over”, lado B do então EP de mesmo nome, que traz o single de estreia junto à canção "Work", em parceria com Lil Silva .

Electro-Soul in a New Era Recent years have seen a resurgence of soul music, as artists such as The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Rhye have brought soul sensibilities into the contemporary fold. As passionate croons meld with modern styles and production, it becomes increasingly exciting to see what new talents may enter the fray. Banks is exactly that. The Los Angeles-based singer draws on the soulful past, but rather than get lost in history she envelops her dark, lustful voice in evocative electronic production. Banks, who is now signed to IAMSOUND, has little on offer, but [...]
Bass producer Lil Silva has been making some serious waves in the UK bass scene over the last 5 years, pumping out tunes with heavy hitting bass and original composition styles. This track doesn't diverge from this trend and further demonstrates Lil Silva's variety of style in his composition, abilities to gracefully mix up genres and an ability to pump out tunes grab you right from the start.

Shoving your cellphone digits right up on your Facebook page has always been deemed a brazen move, though for an artist with as much irrepressible allure as Los Angeles songstress Banks to do so is spunky in the extreme. 'If you ever want to talk call me', she writes and if Before I Met You be any valid indication, then I'll bet hers is the sort of smoke-caressed voice you only converse with in the death of night in seductive dreams. A vivid conflation of CocoRosie obscurity, obdurate Madley Croft sulk and Jessie Ware smooth, it's as [...]
Fresh from a collaboration with LA-based Katy B sound-a-like (in a good way) Banks, London beatmaker Lil Silva has a ... Continue reading
British producer Lil Silva , best known for his UK funky output, has collaborated with American vocalist Banks on this up-front, bouncy tune which calls to mind the crossover appropriate material of Katy B or some of SBTRKT's collaborations. While this is definitely a club ready cut, there's a lingering darkness in the vocals and production, which is accentuated by the disorientating video.
So much heat. Stolen from The Fader
LA newcomer Banks scored a Lil Silva beat for "Work," a straight-to-YouTube collaboration before her soon-to-be-announced proper debut single. (The British producer's got a new release just around the corner, too, with "The Split" and ... read more
Recently, the lines between styles of dance music have evaporated. At any given performance/party, you may experience anything from 70-180 bpm (beats per minute) in a single set. House fanatics have turned to polyrhythmic future bass and the unique stylings of vogue. Drum and bass loyalists have turned to Chicago bred juke. Dubstep devotees have turned to the synth heavy reinvention of trap. The evolution has become strongly apparent in the major music centers of the world and will continue to carry on through this decade of the "would be end of the planet". So to chaperone in the new dance [...]

UK garage legend DJ Q offers up a deliciously fresh mix.
The New York Times recently published an article in favor of experimental UK soul artists like Jessie Ware and AlunaGeorge , who they say are breathing fresh air into a somewhat stagnant R&B form. The video for "Your Drums, Your Love" echos this taste for innovation, re-appropriating early hip hop dance styles (most notably pop & lock ) into a contemporary art gallery. Their You Know You Like It EP is now on sale for only $2.71.
Enjoy his take on 'Your Drums, Your Love' via SoundCloud. Watch 'Just A Touch' here. Like Lil Silva on Facebook. Follow AlunaGeorge on Twitter. MP3: Lana Del Rey - Born To Die (AlunaGeorge Mix)
