Banks

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BElectronicElectropop

Banks is a Contemporary R&B and Electronic act. Their catalogue also touches Electropop and Trip hop. Their sound grew out of Lauryn Hill, Fiona Apple, Fink, Yseult and Kito. Those roots explain a lot about how Banks arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as MØ, Ellie Goulding, Lolo Zouaï, Låpsley and Sabrina Claudio, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Maggie Lindemann, Ellie Goulding, The Weeknd, Aaliyah and Feist, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 41 connections around Banks, reaching back through Lauryn Hill and forward to Maggie Lindemann.
