Banks is back, and more brilliantly brooding than ever

The singer's new album is due for release early next year

Banks has revealed her glitchy, minimalist new single, 'Better', and its accompanying video. Watch it below.

The singer broke out last year with the help of huge single 'Waiting Game', which she followed up with her debut album Goddess. Now, she's back with an even darker offering, and a video that sees her coated in gold leaf, interspersed with a naked, writhing body doubled over itself.

Its hardly surprising, given their shared penchant for brooding R&B, that Banks will be joining The Weeknd on his Beauty Behind The Madness US Tour next week.

Watch the video for 'Better' below

As for the difficult second album - Banks recently told Zane Lowe that it's set for release "early, early next year."
