Best New Artist Grammy nominee Tank and The Bangas debuts new song, “Why Try,” featuring Questlove today alongside an accompanying music video. “Why Try” is the latest song to be revealed from the band’s third studio album, Red Balloon, set for release on May 13 via Verve Forecast. Listen to/share the track HERE and watch/share the video HERE.

Of the song, Tarriona “Tank” Ball says, “A lot of women forget that power comes from vulnerability and being very completely honest with your partner instead of putting on a front. On ‘Why Try,’ we have a vulnerable woman who isn’t afraid to say, ‘I like you and you’re not giving me the same energy back. I know you like me, too.’”

Most recently, the group debuted two new songs—“Stolen Fruit” and “Black Folk” featuring Alex Isley & Masego—in celebration of Black History Month while their track “No ID” premiered earlier this year. The new music continues to receive critical praise; Vibe proclaims, “[‘Black Folk’ is an] endearing ode to Black people, culture, and experiences, showcasing the most underrated moments of the neo-soul wave.” BET furthers, “Tarriona Ball’s commanding vocal presence gets alchemized on 'No ID,’ a disco-influenced number.”
