    ‘Serpentina’ speaks to her craft, elevating her talents as a musician as she sheds through her layers and births a new and transformed performer.

    ‘Serpentina’ is a welcome reintroduction to the artist and a cathartic ode to doing things your own way.

    While it may prove inconsistent to some, the experimentation and exploration ensures the album remains exciting, as you never know what’s arriving next. If the intention of this album was to show a rebirth, it succeeds, as Banks seems reinvigorated and ready to fearlessly conquer the demons that dare cross her path.

    While Serpentina manages to add some fresh highlights to Banks' catalog, it never veers too far from her established formula, for better or worse.

    "Serpentina" amplifies the lack of edge and risk BANK considers to journey with on her artistic performances.

    Every banks album is so underrated it hurts. Each album she puts out is unique and ground breaking imo and this album serpentine is anotherEvery banks album is so underrated it hurts. Each album she puts out is unique and ground breaking imo and this album serpentine is another hit. I've enjoyed every song..I don't know how she keeps doing it because no one makes music like banks and still brings a complete different sound and vibe to each project. Favorites so far are **** love, holding back, and meteorite. ❤️❤️… Full Review »
