Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O has announced details of her debut solo album.
‘Crush Songs’ will be released on 9th September via Julian Casablancas’ label, Cult Records.
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.”
Casablancas adds “So excited, lucky and proud to be involved with such a classic album—I just wanna listen to it all day. Karen is an all-time great.”
Very excited about this one.

Is this the full leak or just the advance on Tenemos? Also are all of these leaks private?
I can’t seem to locate it.
It’s a transcode and only 10 of the tracks but try digging through the request box on exystence if you still want it.
