"THIS MEANS WAR" TO RELEASE SEPTEMBER 18

FIRST SINGLE 'LOVE 3X' PREMIERES TODAY WITH NYLON.COM<http://www.nylon.com/articles/zz-ward-love-3x>

Three years after her critically-acclaimed debut, Til The Casket Drops, ZZ Ward is back and her hotly anticipated follow-up album, This Means War, is set for release on September 18th.  The powerhouse singer's genre-bending music, onstage prowess and savvy style has been called out by everyone from the LA Times, NPR, USA Today, Esquire, Complex, Huffington Post, Vanity Fair, Chicago Tribune and the New York Times.  Every track on This Means War exudes ZZ's swagger and confident stance as she lets loose her soulful voice over an energetic and more rhythmic core. The album, produced by GRAMMY Award winner S1 (Kanye, Madonna, Eminem, Beyonce) and ZZ herself, This Means War is a sexy, girl power romp with a badass backbeat.  Pre-order for the album is available today at http://smarturl.it/zza2.
