Today, ZZ Ward's highly anticipated album 'Dirty Shine' has officially landed on streaming platforms, released via her own Dirty Shine Records. A cinematic 11-song album, spilling over with an intoxicating cocktail of bold electronic textures, rugged hip-hop beats, fierce rhymes and pop hooks, acoustic Delta blues riffs, sensual R&B singing, and juke joint harmonica, ‘Dirty Shine’ represents a new chapter in ZZ’s career, as she embraces life as a new mother and removes the constraints of the major label system.  

For the past decade, ZZ Ward played the major-label game, and she was quite good at it. The blues/hip-hop/R&B singer/songwriter did all the big festivals, collaborated with everyone from Kendrick Lamar to Gary Clark Jr., performed on Dancing With The Stars and Good Morning America and saw her records land on Billboard charts ranging from blues and AAA to alternative and rock. Hell, even we declared her second album to be Essential New Music.
