Goddess review – Banks is slow-burning, fidgety and attractively troubled

Penumbral, sultry and digital, the early-2010s vogue for minimal R&B shows no signs of abating. Having set blogs alight last year, Los Angeles singer Banks has since toured with the scene don, The Weeknd, and her debut album sounds exactly as you would expect: slow-burning, fidgety, attractively troubled. Nearly half its tracks have seen the light of day already, not least the standout Waiting Game. The remainder offer up a more conventional take on the sound than Banks's British counterpart, FKA Twigs. Despite its title, the sedated pop glide of Fuck 'Em Only We Know has more in common with Lana Del Rey than the cutting edge.
