Jillian Rose Banks (born June 16, 1988), known mononymously as Banks (often stylized in all caps), is an American singer and songwriter. Following the release of two extended plays—Fall Over and London—in 2013, she signed with Harvest Records to release her debut studio album, Goddess (2014). It was met with positive critical reception and peaked at number 12 on the Billboard 200, while its single, “Beggin for Thread” received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her second and third studio albums, The Altar (2016) and III(2019) were met with similar success, peaking at numbers 17 and 21 respectively on the chart; the latter saw her furthest critical acclaim. After departing Harvest Records, she released her fourth studio album Serpentina independently in 2022. Exploring a more experimental sound than her previous work, it achieved modest commercial success but received favorable reviews from music critics. It was followed by her fifth studio album Off with Her Head in 2025.
III is the third studio album by American singer and songwriter Banks, released on July 12, 2019, by Harvest Records. It was preceded by the release of three singles, “Gimme”, “Look What You’re Doing to Me”, and “Contaminated”. The album peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200.
