Ward has said The Storm is influenced by the music of blues artists including Howlin' Wolf, Robert Johnson and Big Mama Thornton.[1] Prior to the album's release, on March 2, 2017, Ward released the single "The Deep", featuring Chicago MC Joey Purp. The track is built around a sample of "As Long As I've Got You" by The Charmels, which is also sampled in "C.R.E.A.M." by Wu-Tang Clan.[2] The track "Ride" featuring Gary Clark, Jr. was originally featured in the 2017 Pixar film Cars 3.[3] Ward performed the song on Dancing with the Stars on April 17, 2017.[4] The music video for the single "Cannonball" was released in July 2017;[5] it features blues singer Fantastic Negrito, with Ward playing harmonica on the song.[6]
