"       Yeah Yeah Yeah&amp;#039;s lead singer Karen O has always been one of our favorite kick-ass frontwomen, and if her Grammy-nominated single The Moon Song for  Her (2013) or her work on the magical Where the Wild Things Are (2009) soundtrack, she&amp;#039;s just as much of a standout on her own. We&amp;#039;ve been anticipating her first solo record for years and she&amp;#039;s finally unveiled the first single off of her debut album, Crush Songs, which documents the fickle state of her love life during her late twenties nearly a decade ago. &amp;quot;When I was 27, I crushed a lot,&amp;quot; explained, now 36-years-old. &amp;quot;I wasn&amp;#039;t sure I&amp;#039;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.&amp;quot; The song, entitled &amp;quot;Rapt,&amp;quot; is a raw, downcast, and exquisite. From the ultra-personal lyrics,&amp;quot;love&amp;#039;s a f**king bitch,&amp;quot; to the tug-at-your-heartstrings acoustic guitar, it&amp;#039;s a ballad that&amp;#039;s haunting, yet eerily-soothing to anyone whose found themselves lovelorn. O is now married to filmmaker Barney Clay, who directed the track&amp;#039;s music video. Crush Songs drops on September 9th on Julian Casablancas&amp;#039; label Cult Records. It will be introduced as a limited-edition vinyl featuring O&amp;#039;s handwritten lyrics and personal drawings, then avaliable digitally. You can preorder the LP here.
