Can't decide if I really like this song or if it's just insanely catchy. The grit in her voice is one of the standout features of the song, but the lyrics are a little iffy imo. Don't mind it on Alt and I expect it to continue its strong rise.

I like the song, but the vocals get to me. Seems like Alt found themselves thier own Megan Trainor. Those baby-like vocals.

I think it depends on the song, because when I quoted him about this too he said this yeah we need more female fronted bands on Alt. I stand by that 100% and there is alot of better female alt songs out there just not getting picked up by the main players on radio. This song isn't one of them.

I'm not a fan of this. Sorry. Agreed. I can't stand her singing; her voice is grating and it gets on my nerves. I'm probably the only who thinks this, but she sort of sounds like Taylor Momsen. Although, it looks like I'll be hearing this quite a bit more since it's about to blast into the Top 20. (Seriously, "Little Monster" had to take a backseat to this?)

"Last Damn Night" eh? I'm guessing it's a hangover themed Seether cover... "Now I'm relivin' my whole damn night and it's a shame, that I can't remembererrrr, now I'm livin' the same damn night and it's a shame that nothing's forever

LDN is good; I also think "America's Sweetheart" is a pop hit waiting to happen. But this is RCA we're talking about, so I'll be surprised if she gets more than one follow-up single.

Just go read what I just said about "Ship To Wreck". That's what I'm talkin' bout when it comes to female sung songs on Alt charts. Flawless music, vocals. the whole production.

Just listened to some of the clips on iTunes and this sounds like what ZZ Ward's sophomore effort should have/should sound like. @kurt you might like it if you haven't given it a chance yet.
Very good. I am gonna listen to it in full on Spotify this week.

This is exactly what The Black Keys would sound like with a female vocalist, it's no wonder it's doing so well.

As you could probably guess based on her voice, I do not like this, it's grating to my ears.

There's just something about this song...that makes me mad. I don't know what it is, I just can't bring myself to like it.

I like this song but i feel it's been around forever. They even used it to promote HBO Now.
Maybe being Rob Schneider's daughter helps.

I don't like it. And regarding female fronted bands, um there's Halestorm, Pretty Reckless, In This Moment, Of Monsters And Men, Florence+The Machine and not to mention we just got done with the likes of Lorde and Chvrches and Yeah Yeah Yeahs and who was that band that sung "Pumping In A Dream"? And Elle is another Lorde wannabe. Her big problem though is dealing with another Elle if she were to have pop success.

Heard this song for the first time yesterday on the radio. Her voice is great but it's not something that I can get into.
