Karen O genre: Rock
release date 2014-09-05 publisher: Cult Records
Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O has announced details of her debut solo album.

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.”

Go! [Music] Douban
Santigold / Karen O genre: Rock
release date 2011-01-01 publisher: Downtown / Atlantic
“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!
Lux Prima [Music] Douban
8.6 (10 ratings) Karen O / Danger Mouse genre: Rock
release date 2019-03-15 publisher: BMG Rights Management (UK) Ltd
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.
