BANKS - Contaminated (1 Mic 1 Take) 

What she meant to say was "Hi, I'm Banks and this is easily one of the best songs of the last decade, the lyrics, vocals, production and instrumentals of this song are out of this world, it's a full body experience listening to it and it's called Contaminated and you're watching 1 Mic 1 Take"

i’m so glad i found BANKS , she is truly a talented artist and her music is beyond relatable and unforgettable

Contaminated is one of my FAVORITE songs by Banks

“This is the face of someone who loves you babe” kills Me. I’m crying.

Absolutely love the way she changes the "oh-oh-oh" vocals everytime. WE STAN A FRESH QUEEN

I clicked it and even before she started singing I was like “this one’s gonna hurt”

*This is the one of the best songs of all time and y'all can fight me on it*

this song suits her voice and shows off her range so well i’m in love with this version

Trying to remember what I listened to before I discovered her...

you just made my quarantine a little bit more bearable

Something about her voice just makes me close my eyes and just vibe

I've never heard anyone flex this many vocal skills in one video...like her transitions from high notes to lower notes are FLAWLESS and different every single time

it’s 2023 and I come back to watch this every year since it came out. I still can’t believe how talented this woman is. Her voice rattles my soul.

BANKS: A ME: ICON

Lyrics You wanna get to know me You memorized the lines of my thighs I knew before you told me you'd get it right And you took the dark for granted And you love me like you promised your wife It's almost like you planned it in the daylight I like the way you say it Tell me the words you told me that day Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay 'Cause I like the way you do it Yeah I like the way you move it baby show me the way I like the way you get it on the freeway And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted You said they'd be against us I say, "You care too much what they say" You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith" 'Cause you promised me you'd do it You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face This is the face of someone who loves you, babe" And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go Our love is tainted And I wish I could change it And we're always gonna be contaminated And oh, I know what we need You start letting me go

I fall asleep to this song on repeat lately. It’s straight up *poetry, not even a song, literal poetry* 🔥🙌

Our love is ta-a-a-Inted!! Taaainted!! Our love our love is taaainted!

I love this song so much. I must have listened to the album recording a thousand times.

she’s easily one of my safety artists. i first heard her music as a modern/contemporary dancer and have loved her since. her music also helped me through the biggest heartbreak of my life, through anxiety and depression, through happiness. banks is my safe place ❤️ have seen her 2 times live and i hope i can for the rest of my life. banks has done so much for me without knowing me or my name. i’m so thankful

I love how far you've come, from not even being able to face the crowd, to finding your own sound, and OWNING it.. you are such an inspiration to me everyday, and you WRITE MY LIFE!

This version is better than the studio. I listen to it all day everyday

mesmerizing is the only word that comes to mind when i see her perform her music live. simply mesmerizing ❤

Jill is without a doubt one the artists that gives you all the feels, the highs and the lows as smooth as silk delivered straight to your emotions! Love you girl!!

These vocals are the best I've ever heard. This woman deserves more recognition.

My depression, my pillow, and BANKS 🙌🏿 #thisquarantine

Maybe if I could believe it, I could just stay 🖤

i think i love this song a little bit too much

Her vocal performances always seem so effortless.

Her voice is so intimate, it gives me chills.🖤

Oh. My. God. Banks, your man is one of the luckiest guys on the planet 🥵😭💔 beautiful voice, beautiful performer and such a stunning and classy looking lady.

I can't get enough of her - even after all this years. She's the truest goddess to me.

WE NEED A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THIS SONG!!!

Easily the most underrated artist of all time!!!!! Banks is the most real and heartfelt artists of all time in my eyes and heart, she deserves so many accolades and all that jazz that goes with music industry stuffs. When your music speaks on so many levels you are simply a goddess….please continue to spread the soul of your perfection imho ❤😊

It's beautiful Ms. Jillian ❤ Reminds me of the Goddess magic... I saw you in Orlando in 2012 😍 It was amazing and I got you to sign my Goddess CD after the show ❤ My fiancé joked with you, saying Thank you for all the Xbox time he was getting, as I was preoccupied with being a Goddess! ..just in case you might remember us! 😉.... Just be you and don't let this ugly industry tarnish your shine my lady! You are one of a kind ✌💗😁

Best pop song , love the universe she creates on this song.

I've probably listened to the album version of Contaminated upwards of 300 times since I discovered III a month or so ago and now I found the next best thing. Good lord she has the most immaculate vocals I've ever heard.

Shout out to a young lady as pure as they come. Using her voice not looks. No stage dancers half naked drawing 🙊attention.🙏 Pure🙏 talent. Bravo. I've had this in my playlist for a while now circled🧭 back needed something 💥real.💯

Eu olhei pra Banks e disse ARTISTA 😍😍

Banks singlehandedly making quarantined life feel okay 🖤🖤

TE AMO, MULHEEERRR😢❤

I was melting in my bed listening to the beginning, but then the beat came in and I've never sat up faster. Truly fantastic

That's why quarantine exists, y'all better not get contaminated 😂

This performance brought me to the door of my emotions....how it conveys all these feels so intricately yet indepth....unbeaten

I balled my eyes out watching you & hearing this song live at Falls Festival in Byron earlier this year. I was SO lucky to be on the front barrier. You are such an amazing artist, song writer and presence in this world - thank you ❤️

One of my all time faves. Weaker Girl is right there.

Never clicked so fast. Can hardly wait for the E.P.

Goosebumps from the first note to the last😊

Another one of the reasons I love Banks...this right here

Every one of your songs are everything I feel! I’ve been completely shattered by a man who I thought truly wanted me for me. I feel like I can never trust myself again because I was so sure. Now I’m destroyed! Thank you Banks for singing what my heart feels. Your songs bring me the closure I need! Truly you’re an amazing artist!!!

I didn’t know how much I needed this version till now 😭 ❤️❤️

One of the most beautiful songs of all time.

Every time I hear her songs I just feel like my heartbeat beats at the level of someone in love

BANKS, finding you was actually an accident.. but it isn’t a coincidence that you are one of my favorite artists in my history of existing. I love you! 💕

Not only her voice but these lyrics gives me the chills, it's pure poetry!

Absolutely easily one of the most beautiful songs ever

The lack of color and the contrast of black and white really set the mood. She would fit right in as the intimate close quarters performer in a speakeasy of an old time movie.

My favorite songs are all BANKS songs.

The look at the end 🤭 she straight up said “And what about it 😌?”

yup, she only needed 1 take. this is phenomenal !

this was my main jam for several weeks straight when it came out and now its my main jam all over again

She's the G.O.A.T 🙏

One word to describe this: infectious. Couldn't be more ecstatic to be tainted with the Banks sickness.

This song is so heartbreaking. She's underrated

How can people dislike this? Rockin the mic as always Banks 🥰🖤

She sounds SO GOOD here. Really shows off her talent.

I got myself in the exact same situation this song describes and it gets me everytime. This version even more. Anyone else?

Deuses do Olimpo! Minha alma fica inebriada! 🖤

There's just something so special about this song. I feel like her, Kevin, and the Wiild don't understand the power this song possesses. Like I wonder did they know they were writing a masterpiece. And both BJ Burton's production and this live band's performance just amplifies it in the best way possible.

This is easily my favorite song from III, maybe my favorite Banks song period. This a thoroughly refreshing take on an already awesome song.

this performance is flawless. her vocals not only are pitch perfect but her control and how she places everything, her rubato in the chorus, her falsetto switches, the ad libs. phenomenal.

This is even better than the record version! Man, she can sing!

This song is something else. The original was amazing, but this is god-tier.

I had no idea she was THAT GOOD live, but now I know true artist

legit ethereal, literally an angel.

Things like this really show talent, and how an artist can truly shine. Well done.

She’s everything omgggg

OK ID SHE DOES SOMEONE NEW NEXT IMMA FLIP

She’s an angel

go girl give us everythinggggg

Was lucky to see her live in concert years ago...shes even more mesmerizing. Absolute Goddess!!!

Chills!!!🖤
