BANKS - Stroke (1 Mic 1 Take) 

Her speaking voice is so soft you wouldn't expect it.

Props to the mixer. This recording is the perfect blend of instrumentals and Jillian's bluesy vocals.

i love that she’s releasing these during these difficult times. her music is so healing & she reinvents her songs with every new performance. i love her so much. thank u banks. 🤍

I hope that she releases a music video for Stroke. Such a powerful song, even the visualizer is so good. I imagine something very sexy and euphoric.

3:06 when she says HA! And the guy in the back couldn't contain his WOO!! Thats me this whole song. I stank faced all the fuckint way through. FUCK. So talented.

Can we just praise this womans vocals 😍😍😍 such a QUEEN

This sounds so damn good live...

I probably watch this at least 3 times aweek, without fail. Cant get enough of Banks. She's stunning, amazing vocalist, such solid control, and she genuinely feels the music

My body is ready for this E.P.

The bridge oh my goddddd I’m snatched

[Chorus] You want me, you want me Want me to stroke your ego Beg for it, die for it I got the touch, placebo Nothin' that you wouldn't do Lie to get back in my room 'Cause that's what narcissists do You want me, you want me Want me to stroke [Verse 1] Say it's hard to breathe inside my ocean I gave you the deep, but you're still floating You would let me drown to save your own life Don't think I can't see your soul is soaking [Pre-Chorus] It's always in my head Everything is always about you You tell me you're a book that I misread You just wanna tell me what to do, ooh whoa oh [Chorus] You want me, you want me Want me to stroke your ego Beg for it, die for it I got the touch, placebo Nothin' that you wouldn't do Lie to get back in my room 'Cause that's what narcissists do You want me, you want me Want me to stroke Stroke [Verse 2] Gather all your money, make a symphony I looked it over and the thing got steeper, yeah And even though you wanted me sweet, you could call me savory You're treading water and the wound got deeper [Pre-Chorus] It's always in my head Everything is always about you (You used to get it on the low) You tell me you're a book that I misread (You always said I was your type) (You said you got it down below) You just wanna tell me what to do, ooh whoa oh (You wanna give it to me right) [Bridge] Tell me you're so good at it, good at it You say don't wanna quit, and you You say you won't run out of love, out of love Say you got enough of it for two I'm ended up, you been invited You've been tellin' me, now I'm afraid You're running up to the table invited You want a taste of my lemonade, yeah [Chorus] You want me, you want me Want me to stroke your ego Beg for it, die for it I got the touch, placebo Nothin' that you wouldn't do Lie to get back in my room 'Cause that's what narcissists do You want me, you want me Want me to stroke

You look SO happy in these 1 mic 1 take videos, it's almost changing these songs but in a cool way. It looks like you are in such a good place and this makes me feel so freakin happy, especially in these trying time thnx banks!

I don't know how to describe the feeling her music gives me it's transcendent i've never been made to feel this way by any music before

pleeaseee this is the first time i heard her speak and i didn't expect that voice

Her voice is out of this world live WOW I'm truly shocked by how good she sounds every time!

She is such a fresh and imaginative artist. I cannot get enough of her inflections 😍😍😍

didn’t think i could like stroke more than i already did & yet here we are..

The thing I love most about these is watching her move so freely to it 🖤🖤🖤 these are beautiful renditions and performances. Gimmie gimmie!!!

i listen to this recording session on repeat in my car and to see it live is absolutely beautiful

Again. Thanks to all involved. Badass.💓🍻💓🍻

I, for the life of me, cannot understand why Stroke hasn't been released as a single yet !😥 Banks loves it, the fans love it, it could well with the indie crowd and critics... and the song is just begging for a high production video. Girl please birth Stroke already! 😂

both versions of the song are good for me. love the overly produced one from the album and this one as well

Back to black and that's just what makes it unique

Jesus. Those vocals are INSANE!

Wow, such a beautiful voice, I like how she change her personality after starting sing, Its absolutely amazing, love you girl! ❤️

Yas, Stroke!!!

How is this better than the original. She's so talented my god

say it's hard to breathe inside my ocean I gave you the deep, but you're still floating you would let me drown to save your own life don't think I can't see your soul is soaking this lyric........................ FAV

I died when she took her headphones off

Damn I get so overwhelmed watching her perform man she moves me to tears

BANKSSSS PLEASE GIVE US A MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE FALL OR GODLESS

Feeding us during quarantine❤️

When I was 16, my best friend and I discovered Banks in someone’s RU-vid video. We happened to soon after catch her at a free concert at The Rave/ Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, WI. I’m 22 now, and we just were talking about our childhood, and we revisited her music recently. I cannot stop listening to this. Her style and uniqueness is still amazing after all these years 💕

queen ended quarantine

She's such a talented little weirdo . 🙏🌌🌠

Banks is so good live! She’s such an underrated artist!

4:01 The End " Stroke " killed me. Congrats Queen 👸

I just realised there isn’t another artist whose every single video, live performance, acoustic recording has been watched by myself. I just realised Banks is my favourite recording artist. 😍

She’s so amAizng

I am not very knowledgeable in Banks music, I've heard maybe 10 or so songs. But I have never heard such an amazing live version of a song. It doesn't sound like its missing anything, the guitar SLAPS, it sounds so clean and her vocals are iconic. Absolutely enjoyed this performance. 10/10. Cashew Quality.

This is everything!!!!!!!!!!
