In the realm of pop music, any artist with a decade long career certainly has achieved a milestone. For alternative-pop artist Banks, she decided to celebrate her debut album Goddess with a set of intimate anniversary shows which she brought to Irving Plaza with two consecutive sold out shows. Banks has steadily built herself up as one of pop’s most unique, dynamic and fascinating artists and it’s a testament to her craft and artistry that Goddess remains just as immersive and fresh as it did back in 2014. Her stage presence and vocals were truly captivating throughout and staple songs such as “Alibi”, “Goddess” and “This Is What It Feels Like” and “Begging For Thread” resonated powerfully with the audience. As a performer, Banks truly created a genuine connection with her fans many of which have remained loyal to her throughout the years and the show truly felt inclusive making it feel even more special. Credit also to Banks for performing completely solo on stage with no accompaniment and her command of the stage was truly engrossing to watch from start to finish.

Achieving longevity as an artist can be quite an accomplishment, more so when they’re established a dedicated fanbase in the process. For Banks, her Goddess anniversary shows are a compelling showcase of her growth and evolution as an artist and a welcome celebration of a truly seminal record. For longtime fans these shows are a genuinely engaging experience and Bank’s performance here is sincere, passionate and a strong display of her ever apparent artistry and is highly recommended.
