ZZ Ward Debuts 'Eleven Roses' Mixtape & Offers Free Download
Newcomer ZZ Ward is equal parts throwback blues wailer, steely hip-hop crooner and razor-sharp pop belter, and her era-spanning talents are on full display in her eclectic new mix tape Eleven Roses, which is available for a limited time as a free download right here. While working on her debut full-length, Ward found herself constantly inspired by other artists, and here she's taken time to burrow into her influences. After singing an impromptu riff over Tyler, The Creator's "Yonkers" beat, she knew she had tapped a rich vein worth exploring. Besides the aforementioned "Yonkers" re-work, the mixtape features Ward's soulful take on songs from Childish Gambino and Freddie Gibbs as well as some of her original work. The songs all share a raw, confessional edge that evoke blues greats Muddy Waters and Big Mama Thornton with a slick, modern twist that recalls Adele and Cee Lo Green.
Listen to and download Eleven Roses now, and stay tuned for ZZ Ward's debut album, arriving later this year.
