I hope they keep you company on yours.īe sure to check out Karen O's recent Oscar-nominated duet with Ezra Koenig, "The Moon Song," right here at Zumic. At 15 tracks, Crush Songs is an album with a simple, straight-forward conceit: these are songs about crushes. It was for a lady with her husband, her kid and her mother. One of the servers had their tables food come up, so I took the first few plates out for her. I’m the manager so I try to help the other servers with stuff.
They are the soundtrack to what was an ever continuing love crusade. Even though Karen O has been involved in a lot of recordings outside of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (film scores, soundtracks, collaborations), she’s yet to release a proper solo album. Today we were slightly busy just like any other day. These songs were written and recorded in private around this time.
I wasn’t sure I’d ever fall in love again. Recorded between 20, Crush Songs may follow the stylistic precedent set by "Rapt." Karen said in a press release: The Barney Clay-directed visuals follow suit, with a minimalist underwater theme that still evokes strong emotion. The lo-fi recording may be a purely stylistic choice, but it really allows her melody and lyrical power to stand at the forefront. "Rapt" is a stripped-down, melancholy track, with only a thin guitar and a few layers of Karen's plaintive vocals. Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O is releasing her debut solo album, Crush Songs, and she's premiered the first official single along with an accompanying music video.
