BANKS Unveils Dark New Single “Love Is Unkind” from “Off With Her Head”
BANKS releases “Love Is Unkind,” a raw and emotional single ahead of her fifth studio album Off With Her Head, out February 28.
BANKS continues to shine with her latest single, “Love Is Unkind,” a deeply emotional track that dives into the complexities of a toxic relationship. Released under ADA Worldwide, the track offers a glimpse into the upcoming album Off With Her Head, slated for release on February 28, 2025.
The haunting melody of “Love Is Unkind” encapsulates the raw emotion BANKS has become known for. Reflecting on the song, she says: “‘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 track evokes a sense of vulnerability and reflection, much like the soundscapes on her debut album, Goddess, yet with an evolved sense of emotional depth.
BANKS describes Off With Her Head as a significant progression in her musical journey: “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 include previously released tracks “I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend” featuring Doechii and “Best Friends,” with fans now able to pre-order the album, including an exclusive brown LP vinyl edition.
“Love Is Unkind” signals a new chapter for BANKS, one that promises a fusion of intimate storytelling and bold musical evolution.
