BANKS - Are You That Somebody (Aaliyah Cover)

Looking to Aaliyah for her latest musical inspiration, Banks has covered the late songstress’ “Are You That Somebody” hit for her Live Lounge session on BBC Radio 1. Trading in the bass-heavy hip-hop sound for an unplugged acoustic instrumental, the cover clocks in a little over four minutes, maintaining a minimalist composition that allows the guitar strum and Banks’ smokey vocals to carry the tune through to finish. Also offering an unplugged performance of her “Brain” track, you can listen to “Are You That Somebody” below and scroll further to stream “Brain.”
