Tank And The Bangas - The Heart, The Mind, The Soul (2024) [Hi-Res]

Tank and the Bangas release their three-part spoken word collection—The Heart, The Mind, The Soul— via Verve Forecast. Each installment finds Tank working with a different collaborator: "The Heart", was produced by James Poyser; "The Mind" pairs her with Iman Omari; followed by "The Soul" with producer and jazz musician Robert Glasper.

“I want for poetry to get that much more respect and for even more young people to get into the expression of poetry. I want it to be seen as even more cool again. Poetry has always been my first love because it loved me back, it loved me before music even. now I get to share more of that part of myself with the world, in hopes that you love it to. Everything in this world has its place, the HEART deals with matters of my heart, my relationships with men and the one with myself. The MIND lends itself to the things I think about living as a woman in this world, and the relationships I’ve gone back and forth in my mind about. And the SOUL is a form of subconscious and conscious free flowing poems about myself and the city that raised me.”
- Tarriona 'Tank' Ball
