BANKS examines an emotionally dangerous relationship with her new single, 'Love Is Unkind'

BANKS is teasing her fifth studio album 'Off With Her Head' with new single 'Love Is Unkind'.

The track arrives via ADA Worldwide, with BANKS explaining: "'Love Is Unkind' is about an emotionally dangerous relationship that had me running around in circles. It's about how love can be unkind and masochistic. Rewinding your memory and seeing things clearly."

The new album, due 28th February, follows up on last year's 'Serpentina', with BANKS noting connections to her debut. "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."

The album will feature twelve tracks, including previous singles 'I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend' featuring Doechii and 'Best Friends'.

The release follows BANKS' recent celebration of the tenth anniversary of 'Goddess' with an acoustic version titled 'Goddess: Unplugged', featuring artwork hand-painted by Henrik Aarrestad Uldalen. The anniversary was marked with intimate shows in London, New York, Los Angeles, and Melbourne.
