Listen to “Blue Eyes Blind” by rising pop singer ZZ Ward (playing World Cafe Live in November)

Drawing inspiration in equal parts from soulful dance music and aggressive hip-hop, rising pop singer ZZ Ward releases her debut album Til The Casket Drops on October 16 via Hollywood Records. Today, the Abington native (now based in Los Angeles) premiered the single “Blue Eyes Blind” on Idolator. The foot-stomping singalong recalls Sharon Jones and Amy Winehouse, and you can download to it here. Ward returns to Philadelphia on November 9 for an appearance at World Cafe Live’s upstairs lounge on Tuesday, November 6. Tickets and information can be found here.
