[tps_title]9. Karen O – “Crush Songs”[/tps_title]
Karen O, best know for being the Yeah Yeah Yeahs front-woman, made her solo debut and it’s good but not great. Her previous collaborations as a solo artist indirectly but strongly generated the hype surrounding her impending debut as a full-blown solo artist with her first release, Crush Songs. However, the continuous raw sound, acoustic instrumentals and mid-to-low tempo throughout the album make it a fair distraction that can be more deeply appreciated with every listen. But the problem is that you might not want to listen to it again. It’s highly emotional and has its moments here and there, but Karen O is better off being a part of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or, if she insisted on releasing her own album, getting the rights to her previous collaborations and making a compilation album. Because really, nothing here sounds as good as The Moon Song, her song from the movie Her.
