Jesus, she's amazing.

So my Senior prom was this weekend...and if you're a girl, you know what that really means: a whole day of make up and curlers and girl chat, and in my case, AMAZING new music finds. So a friend of mine took over the stero in the room we were all getting ready. (Angela Gafney) Blasted ZZ Ward's "Blue Eyes Blind"...and just...oh my lord. I fell in love. Here: 

Not only are her lyrics captivating, they tell a story and they're so catchy. Her whole album ('Til the Casket Drops) is similar. Beautiful, rhythmic, catchy, thought-out. She's by far my new favorite artist.

This song, "Cryin' Wolf" features Kendrick Lamar (who...come'on y'all...I'm obsessed with, too) is also amazing. I know I keep saying "amazing" but seriously.

Finally, her kind of our-liar song:

Some days you just need to sing. Sing out stress or sadness or anger...this is one of those songs for me. Her sound and the feel of this song (and her voice in general) reminds me a lot of Adele in a fantastic way.


Overall, prom was great, but finding ZZ was the best accomplishment of the weekend.
