Last month Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O announced her first solo album Crush Songs will be released in September, and will feature lo-fi, lovelorn ‘bedroom’ songs she recorded in private . Today we get the first taste of her intimate solo material with the video for ‘Rapt’.

In describing Crush Songs, Karen O said in a handwritten note:
When I was 27 I crushed a lot. 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.
Crush Songs is out on 8 September via Cult Records.
