UK singer/songwriter Jacob Banks has teamed up with legendary producer Timbaland to release “Unknown (To You) Timbaland Remix.” The remix picks up the tempo with Timbaland’s unmistakable, futuristic beats, enhancing the track’s powerful emotion and Jacob’s commanding vocals. i-D premiered the remix, dubbing it “the track you need to hear today” and declaring “rebooted with seriously dramatic strings and a walloping great choir, Tim adds to the gorgeous track in the way only Tim can.”“Unknown (To You)” is the first single from Jacob’s forthcoming album The Village, due out next year on Interscope Records.

Timbaland reveals, “I’m passionate about working with up and coming artists, the voices of our next generation, and Jacob is one of those voices for sure. He’s an incredible talent, and I knew I had to work with him when I heard ‘Unknown (To You).’” Jacob adds, “Timbaland has been behind some of the greatest hits of my generation and has had a huge influence on where music is today. ‘Unknown (To You)’ is such a meaningful track to me and getting the chance to collaborate with Timbaland on this song was an absolute honor.”

“Unknown (To You)” was recently released to critical acclaim, premiering as a “World First” by Zane Lowe on Beats 1, soaring to #1 on Hype Machine’s main chart, and featuring as one of the best releases of the week. The New York Times declared the song a “grandly abject apology,” going on to describe it as “a gospelly dirge with tolling piano chords and swelling strings behind his ever more desperate baritone growl,” while PAPER says when “Jacob Banks sings, you listen.” The track’s video, written by Jacob and co-directed with FRMWRKLDN was praised by Pigeons & Planes for its “stunning, cinematic visuals” with NYLON proclaiming “powerful doesn’t even begin to cover it.”

Jacob has wrapped up a series of major U.S. summer festivals with his performance at Austin City Limits, with The Austin Chronicle predicting Jacob’s “voice “has ‘next big thing’ written all over it.”Currently on his Into The Wild Tour in Europe, Jacob will kick off the North American leg of the tour in November, performing to a sold-out crowd at LA’s The Roxy Theatre. The tour, supported by Australia’s own Vera Blue on select dates, will make stops in major cities across the U.S. and Canada, including two nights in NYC, ending on December 5th in Atlanta.
