Overdue

This song is fire and it has nothing to do with the music. The fire is contained in the incendiary lyrics by ZZ Ward. The song is entitled Overdue and it's off her early 2012 mixtape Eleven Roses. She now has a album out, Til The Casket Drops but sadly this song isn't on it. I would have loved a more polished version of this song...or maybe not.

Don't get me wrong, while I love her blues tinged lyrics about being over her man, the music is fantastic. It fits her lyrics perfectly with it's bombast and her harmonica playing. It's a short song and maybe if she did it over it could be longer, but what we do get is an incredible appetite wetter. ZZ had some serious skills and that's evident in this song by itself. When she sings Baby let the venom sink into your chest/Try to play me like a pawn that's whatcha get/Get up off your knees bitch no need to beg... It's hard not to love this song.

Like I said, she has an album out and if you like this song, check out Cryin' Wolf on Casket. It's a favorite of mine. This song is the perfect introduction to her if you haven't heard any of her music by now. Enjoy!
