BANKS - Contaminated (1 Mic 1 Take)

[@jakobwhaleart]

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"

[@jordynelliott6712]

Jakob Whale 😂😂😂

[@imaniafeni8126]

Jakob Whale lmaooooooo yesssssssssssssss

[@tommymas1]

Best of the last decade? Nah..... good but not even her best.

[@dreas_life]

Jakob Whale FACTS

[@mordecai8707]

That’s exactly what I heard Banks say!

[@raredoll]

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

[@aquiviawilliams9309]

how long have you been a fan? I discovered her about five years ago and I still feel the same way when I hear her music old or new.

my mom actually introduced me to her. she was hooked to the song “f--k em only we know” in 2014 and i’ve been listening to her ever since

[@moo2u2186]

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

[@michelseibriger12]

Agreed, if there's one tiny tiny flaw she has, it's that sometimes she doesn't show her range as much as she could. In this it really comes through.

[@PoetryRainDrops]

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

[@милоонна]

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.

Her vocal performances always seem so effortless.

[@silentgypsy]

Wait, you're telling me you can't hear the HUGE amounts of auto-tune on this track?!

[@romad9069]

silentgypsy there could be autotune in the live track as well, but it’s EQ’d well so it sounds kinda fake

[@karlabunns]

@@silentgypsy in that case you should see her live

[@MeduzaBitez]

@@silentgypsy um she sounds just like this live it's mesmerizing

[@yagadoobigidibobbibigabiga38]

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

[@MisssMeganChristine]

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

[@nesrinelina8792]

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

This One gets me every time. Not many artists show actual genuine conviction like Banks does on this song. I'd love to hear an orchestra version loud and clear cause Damn the light shines is amazing. Banks your voice and words helped me change my life and taught me I was capable of protecting my own energy in leaving an extremely toxic relationship. Thank you.

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 ✌💗😁

[@shanelover]

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 ❤😊

[@austintopham9160]

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.
