As seductive and tempestuous as the lyrics, ‘Before I Ever Met You’ becomes an obsession from the very first play. The new single from LA based singer Banks has all the makings of a future classic; brooding noir-pop with a theme so transparent, an instant connection between artist and listener is created leaving you begging for more.
Banks’ husky delivery adds a hardness to the lyrics; rolling effortlessly off of her tongue and under your skin in an act of unadulterated seduction. As thrilling as sex with a stranger and as all encompassing as a new love interest, ‘Before I Ever Met You’ should carry a health warning.
