When Medusa’s head was cut off, that’s when she became most powerful. When Marie Antoinette laid her head on the block, it started a revolution. When one thing violently ends, more often than not, something else dramatically begins. Change often demands savagery and Banks seems to know that well on Off With Her Head.As her fifth album, coming the year after her debut, celebrated its ten-year anniversary, this new release marks a kind of reckoning for the artist. A decade on from where she started, when Goddess immediately made her a phenomenon that has inspired artists since work on this album was set against a landscape of major change. Banks moved cities, lost friends, changed teams working on her music, got engaged, started a new life, and suddenly looked around at what she was making and knew that she had to change too.
When a lot is going on in our personal lives, the temptation is there to cling to what we know and keep doing what we are doing. But freedom is found in letting go, and that’s heard here. In the album’s best moments, Banks goes all in on the somewhat craziness a hectic mind and heighten emotions demands. On ‘I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend’, she enlists Doechii to vocalise that as the duo dances across the track like an angel and demon on someone’s shoulders. On ‘Delulu’, she goes all in on her own, clearly having a lot of fun with it.
