BANKS returns with new song 'The Devil'.

Celebrating her birthday today, BANKS has shared a new song, 'The Devil', which arrived accompanied by a cinematic music video which she says "represents the twisted, surreal, and playful world that I exist in as the devil. No demon can touch me as I am not tempted by their charm. Give me a rose and I’ll eat it. In this world, I hypnotize and stuff every demon in a box while I dance, fly, and play with my devil sisters. Someone write my new name down."

I love jewelry that has symbolism in it. I love it to mean something to me. It doesn't necessarily have to mean anything to anybody else, but I like to look down at my fingers and have a story."
