WEEKEND MUSIC PT. 50: DOECHII: A NIGHT OF FIRSTS AT THE GRAMMYS
A NIGHT OF FIRSTS AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS FOR ARTIST DOECHII
With an enchanting fusion of haunting melodies and raw emotion, BANKS steps onto the COLORS stage, ready to captivate
Stepping into a sepia-lit dreamscape, BANKS casts a spell with her latest single, Meddle in the Mold, in a mesmerizing COLORS performance. The track, lifted from her forthcoming album Off With Her Head (set to drop on February 28), is a hypnotic fusion of eerie production, pulsating beats, and her signature emotional intensity.
Draped in moody lighting, the California-born artist delivers a performance that feels both intimate and electrifying. Her voice, oscillating between breathy vulnerability and razor-sharp defiance, transforms the minimalist stage into a world of its own. Every lyric lands like a whispered warning, pulling listeners into a haunting, rhythmic trance.
A Berlin-based music platform, COLORSxSTUDIOS showcases innovative and boundary-pushing artistry, making it the perfect stage for BANKS’ evocative storytelling. Known for its minimalist aesthetic and immersive performances, COLORS provides a space where exceptional talent shines through raw, unfiltered expression. The platform has become a global tastemaker, spotlighting unique voices across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and streaming platforms while curating IRL experiences through their live programming TONES, connecting audiences from the U.S. to France, Mexico, the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa.
With Meddle in the Mold, BANKS signals a daring new chapter: darker, bolder, and unapologetically chaotic. The song’s raw energy and spellbinding allure reinforce her reputation for pushing artistic boundaries while remaining unmistakably herself. Since her breakthrough with Goddess (2014), she has continued to evolve, crafting moody soundscapes that blend alternative pop with contemporary R&B. Her COLORS performance is yet another testament to her magnetic artistry—one that captivates, challenges, and lingers long after the final note.
