Native New Yorker, Liana Banks, has hit out with a video for ‘LVLUP’, the first track from her mixtape Insubordinate. Surrounded by a family of accomplished musicians and Broadway performers, Liana began writing at an early age and progressed into a career in performance and dance before realising her true calling within music. With a smooth vibe and even smoother vocals from the 25 year old in ‘LVLUP’, Liana Banks is for fans of Tinashe, Jhene Aiko and SZA. Produced by YOBO, the track’s release hit instant success last month with a top 10 position in Spotify’s viral chart. With a hypnotic delivery and introspective lyrics, ‘LVLUP’ is one hell of a debut from Liana Banks. –JE
