Description
ZZ Ward didn t have to look far for inspiration on her second full-length album, 2017's The Storm. Equally evocative of blues grit and hip-hop bounce, the Los Angeles-based vocal powerhouse and multi-instrumentalist leapt forward by taking a deeper look at some of her earliest inspirations including Howlin Wolf, Robert Johnson, and Vera Ward Hall and Big Mama Thornton.

"For me, this album wasn't really about experimenting,” she admits. ... honing in on what I love about music and what makes me who I am as an artist. "Growing up, I listened to a lot of hip-hop and blues, and I love those two genres so much. Sometimes, to evolve you don't need to go outside of yourself; you can reach further inside of yourself instead".

Just discovered her when she was on the Colbert Show a while back. I'm really digging this album.

And I'm not sure what the previous poster's confusion about her name is about.
