Artist Close-Up: Liana Banks Gives Life To “Ghost”

Liana Bank$ is a songstress New Yorker rising through ranks for her raw energy, witty lyricism, and shimmering synth work. This R&B “Kween” is similar to Khalid in bringing a mystical/ digital aura to this classic genre, and breathing in a Millennial vibe of being young, confused, in love, and heartbroken, all at once. Yes, this generation can carry a bucketful of emotions, and Liana Bank$ newest single “Ghost” feels like a soulful episode of Girls.

With lyrics that show that dabble in the fire and ashes of this generation, “Ghost” lyrically explores feeling “legendary” in life while trysting in a bathroom stall. The plight of every Millennial’s dream and relationship can feel quite ghostly, as if you are stuck in a limbo of life rather than actual life. Yet, from”Riding in daddy’s cruiser” and “raising a glass to The Man upstairs” , Liana Bank$ shows that any life can feel grand in its simplicity and dreaminess. Who has not felt like they owned the world while laughing with friends in their building’s stoop or believed they were invincible while driving around with them? The richness in life does not lie with the wealthy in pockets, but the wealthy in perspective, and Bank$’ cool, frothy voice gives a soulfulness that lightly blazes through the track. Her voice is like a stream of smoke with the power of a forest fire, but the potency of a crystal ball. She is clear, subtle, and lyrically relevant to the current mind-frames of Millennial life.  For More Information On Liana Bank$ Click Here.
