Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has announced her first solo album, Crush Songs. That's the cover above. It's out September 9 in the U.S. and September 8 in the UK via Julian Casablancas' label Cult. Though Crush Songs is her first solo album, Karen O has stayed busy outside Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Most recently, she received an Oscar nomination for "The Moon Song", which was co-written with Spike Jonze for Jonze's Her. She also composed the soundtrack for Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, which was credited to Karen O and the Kids. She also shared a note about the album on her website:
