Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has announced her first solo album, Crush Songs. The album will be released September 9 in the U.S. and September 8 in the UK via Julian Casablancas’ label Cult. Karen O has been rocking some solo collaborations for the last few years, particularly in the movie world. She worked with…
It was really generous of Gravity to let some other films win a few shiny gold men. The Alfonso Cuarón-directed film took home honors for Cuarón (Best Director), Best Original Score, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects. Despite winning the most Oscars, 12 Years a Slave…
Karen O is an Oscar nominee. That is badass. Her track for Spike Jonze’s Her, entitled “The Moon Song,” is up for Best Original Song at this year’s Oscars.
