    Banks' debut album Goddess offers some great brooding singles included on her previously released EP's; the real question is if those singles truly warrant a full LP because the rest of the "album" feels a little filler.

    Banks is at her best when roiling in the uncertainty that accompanies desire both thwarted and fulfilled.

    Goddess weaves a captivating spell that many are certain to fall under. [Oct 2014, p.87]

    Yet for all the individual moments of sleek electronic beauty, Goddess as a whole often sounds frustratingly unconvincing and almost fragmented in its production.
