Live and Stripped is a four track EP that showcases singer-songwriter BANKS' incredible vocals. The EP is a part of Capitol Records' “1 Mic 1 Take” series where artists deliver renditions of their songs raw and unedited.
The EP includes three tracks off of BANKS' latest album III, as well as the beloved track “Drowning” from her debut album “Goddess.”
The closing track “Drowning (Live And Stripped)” was released Monday, March 31st, 2020, and a new track was released everyday until April 3rd, when the entire EP became available: The order of the other songs were “Contaminated,” “Stroke,” and lastly “If We Were Made Of Water.”
Most of my songs are written on the piano before anything else, so it is a gift to be able to share these acoustic versions of songs with my fans during this tough time [in reference to the Coronavirus outbreak]. We cannot physically be near each other right now, so I am using music as a tool to bring us together.
