The track “Waiting Game” was featured in the film Divergent, which was released in March 2014. Along with “Waiting Game”, “You Should Know Where I’m Coming From” was featured in the October 9, 2014 episode of Grey’s Anatomy, while the track “Goddess” was featured in the March 12, 2015 episode.
“You Should Know Where I’m Coming From” was also featured on the ninth episode of Red Band Society.
In September 2016, her second studio album, The Altar, was released to a similar positive reception, becoming her second top 20 album in the United States.
In 2019, her third album, III, was released. It became her most critically acclaimed release to date and peaked at number 21 on the Billboard 200, as well as number 3 on the Top Albums Sales chart.
Banks‘ sound has been described as dark R&B and compared to Ellie Goulding, The Weeknd, and Aaliyah, although she cites Lauryn Hill and Fiona Apple as her biggest influences. She says that music helps her release her emotions and, for that reason, kept her music private while she earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology.

Her vocals have frequently been described as “Aaliyah-like”, in addition to Billboard noting that “her rhapsodic voice possesses a frail vulnerability and recalls singers like Feist and Erykah Badu.”
Her discography includes four studio albums, one remix album, three extended plays, twenty-one singles, two promotional singles and sixteen music videos.
