\nYou may recognize her song \u201cWaiting Game<\/a>\u201d from a Victoria\u2019s Secret holiday commercial<\/a>, but if you haven\u2019t had the opportunity to further investigate the music from LA-based singer\/songwriter Jillian Banks (better known simply as Banks<\/a>), I\u2019d suggest starting with new single \u201cBeggin for Thread<\/a>\u201d. The song is beautiful, sultry, and alluring, as is the slightly NSFW video below.<\/p>\n

\"tumblr_my9w37yArk1sercifo1_1280\"<\/a>Her style has been described as \u201cdark R&B\u201d and compared to artists like The Weeknd, with whom she joined on tour in the fall of 2013. Banks began writing music on a gifted keyboard at age 15 and credits Lauryn Hill and Fiona Apple as her largest influences. She released her first EP, Fall Over<\/em>, in March of 2013 and followed up with London<\/em> EP in September of the same year. Her first full-length, Goddess<\/em>, is slated for a September 8 release on Harvest Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n
