Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O has announced details of her debut solo album.
‘Crush Songs’ will be released on 9th September via Julian Casablancas’ label, Cult Records.
Featuring material, including home recordings, made back in 2006 and 2007, the record will also include Karen’s “own personal drawings, handwritten lyric and more”.
“When I was 27 I crushed a lot,” she says of the new record. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever fall in love again. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time. They are the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. I hope they keep you company on yours.”
Casablancas adds “So excited, lucky and proud to be involved with such a classic album—I just wanna listen to it all day. Karen is an all-time great.”

Icons Karen O and Danger Mouse release their debut album as a duo, Lux Prima. It's ambitious album from deluxe disco melancholy (Turn the Light) to bare bones Motown stomps (Woman), while the title track's symphonic sprawl revisits the widescreen heartbreak of Dangermouse's work on Michael Kiwanuka's Love and Hate, evoking the string laden visions of Come to my Garden-era Minnie Ripperton. The album is cinematic, luscious and expansive.

“People want my power, and they want my station.” The first listen from Santigold’s Santogold followup is a call to arms and a declaration and its credits read like the intersection of aural worlds and styles that was her last album (and, apparently, this one): Nick Zinner on guitar, Switch and Santi and Q-Tip on production, Karen O on third-verse vocals. The lyrics hone in on the artist’s way, and the sad state of “the American dream” (i.e. vapid pursuit of empty fame), marrying themes like “Creator” and “L.E.S. Artistes” into a single serving. Hear it here now because it is good!

KO at Home is a demo CD by Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) that was leaked onto the Internet in mid-December 2006.
