Tank and The Bangas' Tarriona “Tank” Ball Sets the Stage for a Bold New Era with 'The Heart, The Mind, The Soul'

In an exclusive interview, Tank discusses her creative rebirth, the new project putting spoken word in the spotlight, and what fans can expect from her upcoming tour.

Tank's journey was nothing short of extraordinary, from the viral explosion of “ DM Pretty ” to a Grammy nomination for their 2022 groundbreaking third album, Red Balloon. In The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, Tank reveals a deeply personal side, delving into the intricacies of romantic relationships with raw emotion on tracks like “Enjoy The Ride” and “Starting Over.” She tackles pressing social issues such as climate change in the poignant “Ghetto Earth,” and bravely exposes her artistic insecurities in “You’re In Way Over Your Head.” Her spoken word performances cut deeper than ever that could remind listeners of jazz rap classics like Digable Planets’ Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), Freestyle Fellowship’s Innercity Griots, and Kendrick Lamar To Pimp A Butterfly despite Tank not considering herself an emcee.
