Tank and the Bangas have unveiled their latest single, “No ID,” and its accompanying music video today (January 28th). The track will be featured on the New Orleans-based band’s upcoming third studio album, Red Balloon, which will be released May 13th via Verve Forecast. Check out the visual below.
On the disco-inflected track, frontwoman Tarriona “Tank” Ball lays out wise boundaries for letting a new romantic interest into her life. “If you want to see inside of me/ I’mma need to see your ID/ ‘Cause if we gon’ go deeper/ I’mma need to see what’s beneath the/ Surface of your smile/ If you’re worth stayin’ a while,” she croons on the chorus as revelers zoom around a lively roller skating rink in the visual.
“The song represents a version of self love that…can become quite lost in today. Sure it has a catchy beat and hopeful it makes you want to find your skates, but ultimately it’s about a background check before you welcome somebody into your life,” the group tells Consequence.
“I need to get to know you before I invite you into my life,” they continue. “It’s so funny how we can give a random security guard at a club our IDs or tug lady at Starbucks or vaccination card before we get our lattes, but we give a free pass to people who want to come into our lives. ‘No ID’ is [about] wanting a background check, and it calls for you to take your time.”
The studio set will also be filled with collabs, including The Hamiltones (“Communion in My Cup”), Jamison Ross and Trombone Shorty (“Café Du Monde”), Big Freedia (the previously-released “Big”), Lalah Hathaway and Jacob Collier (“Where Do We Go”) and more.
Ahead of the LP’s release, Tank and the Bangas will hit the road on a headlining tour of North America, which kicks off February 4th with a show in Baton Rouge. Trombone Shorty, Cory Henry, and Big Freedia will each open on select dates. Grab tickets here.
In November, the funk-soul outfit took part in the NOLAxNOLA ‘21: Show Your Love! A Virtual Celebration of New Orleans, a livestream fundraiser that served as a tribute to the late Dr. John.
