MAG: BANKS NEW SINGLE GODDESS

Mistajam had the world exclusive on 1xtra yesterday evening and of course I tuned in to hear the first play of BANKS' brand new single. It was at a slightly awkward 8pm because I was in the middle of dinner, so I had to excuse myself and dash upstairs, but I was treated with a live interview with Jillian calling from LA plus the song that was played twice in a row. I've never heard a DJ repeat a track on radio before (I'm not a regular 1xtra listener so it could be normal for these occasions) but if there was ever a track to hit repeat on, it's Goddess. She's just amazing and the album to which she has "poured her heart and everything into" is going to be spectacular — there are no two ways about it.
