Lyrics:
I think that we won’t ever have to cry no more
I’ma pick your love off of the floor
Can’t get enough I just want more
You’re the only one that I adore
 
That’s why I said
 
I want you now
I want you now
I want you now so bad
 
I want you now
I’m just saying
 
And I hope this make sense
There’s no turning back from this
Just one kiss
Got me like this
I’m just saying
 
I want you now
I want you now
I want you now so bad
 
‘Cause I want you so bad
I’m just saying
 
‘Cause I want you so bad
I’m just saying
I’m just saying
 
I want you bad
I’m just saying
 
You’re the only one that change me
Pick me up rearrange me
This the reason that you date me
Level up start to hate me
 
I could smell the truth on you from a mile away
Compliment the perfume ‘cause I know it’s not your taste
And you’re looking all surprised I could see it on your face
I ain’t ever gonna try to keep you here in one place
 
I’m just trying to make it out in one piece
After we say our peace
I need some peace
Just please
Go easy on me
 
I’m still caught in between
Somewhere living those dreams
Coming back from those things
I hope I see it clear
 
I said I want you now
I want you now
I want you now so bad
 
I want you now
Want you now
I’m just saying
 
I want you now
I want you now
I’m just saying
 
I want you now
I’m just saying
 
Just saying

Poetic Justice

Whisper My Name

Tank and the Bangas formed in the early 2010s, when vocalist and poet Tarriona “Tank” Ball (frontwoman, lead vocals) met musicians Norman Spence (keys) and Joshua Johnson (drums) at the New Orleans open-mic night Liberation Lounge; Albert Allenback (alto saxophone, flute) came on later, firming the band’s core lineup. They grinded for years in their hometown, playing local venues like Gasa Gasa and The Blue Nile while also lighting up the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival with their explosive live sets. One local critic called them “untraditional, yet absolutely adherent to the New Orleans heritage of experimentation and invention that pulses through the veins of the city’s music” in 2016.   

Then came the 2017 Tiny Desk Contest, a nationwide talent competition inspired by the Tiny Desk Concerts beamed out of NPR’s offices in Washington, D.C. Tank & the Bangas’ entry, an intimate rendition of their song “Quick,” delighted the judges, and they beat out more than 6,000 other bands to take that year’s title. In the past five years, Tank & the Bangas have become widely beloved for their lauded live shows and kitchen-sink approach to making music. They were a Best New Artist nominee at the 2020 Grammys and toured the world extensively, playing major U.S. festivals like Coachella and Bonnaroo. “We’ve managed to expand our Tiny Desk moment into a lifetime of amazingness,” says Tank. 

Red Balloon, Tank & the Bangas’ third studio album and second major-label release, came out of something rare for the band: a pandemic-ordered break from their rigorous touring schedule. That gave the individual members space to breathe and double down on who they were as artists, and it allowed them to reunite as a more unified group. “We needed a time to be away from the road so that we could cultivate something new, and cultivate who we were,” says Tank. The result is a marvelous modern soul album, one led by Tank’s Tank & The Bangas 
commanding vocal presence but also firmly rooted in the musical chemistry conjured by the band being back in the studio and letting the vibes flow.While guests like Wayne Brady, ?uestlove, Jacob Collier, Lalah Hathaway, Trombone Shorty, and Alex Isley add dimensions to Red Balloon. “This has been one of the best attempts thus far at capturing what happens when we’re all playing at the same time,” says Albert. Its lyrics run the gamut of human experience, taking on the ills of America while also celebrating the beauty of Black life, reveling in sensuality while also talking frankly of heartbreak. Or, as Norman puts it, “Red Balloon is coming straight for your heart and your neck at the same time.”
