(Radio.com) Last year, Los Angeles singer-songwriter Banks impacted the music scene with early singles like "Warm Water" and "Waiting Game," the latter getting an added boost after being featured in a splashy Victoria's Secret commercial. With a moody, seductive sound evocative of R&B sensualists Rhye and classic Massive Attack, she was tapped to open for The Weeknd on his Kiss Land tour.

Now, Banks has released the official music video for her latest single, "Brain," released this past January. The mostly black and white clip finds the singer intoning, "Oh, so cool you seem/Blending with that scene/Wearing what you think is hard" from under a gauzy scarf set. Soon enough the stark images of mountains and dreamy kaleidoscopic mirror shots give way to reveal Banks in a rather sexy open-backed dress pleading with her guy to not hurt her brain.

As the Shlomo-produced track's intensity increases, dark red Rorschach test-like images flash across the screen, keeping in time with the rhythm of the song.

Banks, who is currently on an extensive UK tour, will return to the States in the spring to hit the festival circuit hard, appearing at Coachella, Sasquatch!, Governors Ball and Bonnaroo before heading back overseas for more European dates.
