Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Album Review: Karen O – Crush Songs Karen O makes a sterling effort on her debut album as a solo act, but doesn’t quite nail it By Hatti Linnell, Advertising Director (2014/15) Thursday 11 September 2014 We are used to seeing Karen Orzolek (usually known as Karen O) belting out the anthemic chorus of ‘Gold Lion’ or the weird yet wonderful ‘Sacrilege’ in her role as the lead singer in the American band, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As one of my favourite front women in music today (it’s Karen over Hayley Williams any day of the week), I was excited to hear her solo effort but simultaneously concerned that she wouldn’t shine as much without the creative input of Zinner and Chase. Other than having a name unappealing to anyone over the age of 15, Crush Songs begins well. ‘Ooo’ is quite short, you might think, holding the unsatisfying property of ending almost before it has begun. Unfortunately, this theme becomes a constant in the album. ‘Rapt’ is beautiful and really shows off Orzolek’s songwriting skill. This song makes it clear why she opted for the lo-fi style which is present in the record, as it suits the theme of the weariness of love. This is followed by ‘Visits’, the closest this album comes to sounding like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs – not because it is particularly similar sonically, but perhaps the most memorable and interesting. The rest of the album seems to slip by leaving little impression – at a modest running time of 25:10, if you blink you might miss it. It’s rare for a song to run over two minutes in length; not necessarily a bad thing but you just don’t have time to get into a song before it’s suddenly over. The songs which are longer tend to be the worse ones, like ‘Beast’ which is not terrible but quite whingey and irritating. There are also songs like ‘NYC Baby’ which add little depth to the record and you wonder why Orzolek put them there. There are moments of lyrical brilliance on this album, and it’s lovely to see Orzolek reunited with former YYY collaborator, Imaad Wasif. But the album is obscenely short and although it’s listenable, I was absolutely desperate to listen to ‘Heads Will Roll’ after about five listens through. Orzolek makes a sterling effort but doesn’t quite nail it. Listen to: ‘Rapt’, ‘Visits’, ‘Body’, ‘Native Korean Rock’. http://nouse.co.uk/2014/09/11/album-review-karen-o-crush-songs Archived 11 Dec 2018 08:33:24 Nouse Web Archives Album Review: Karen O – Crush Songs Page 2 of 3 Most Read Discussed 1.

  • Sketches of the Inchoate by Charles Davi
    Sketches of the Inchoate By Charles Davi 2 The outlines of a day It's Syttende Mai, we're in the living room of our apartment, there's a TV mounted on a white wall. You take your earrings off, which are large, and silver, and quite reflective, your hair is blonde. Our bedroom is sunny, as is the entire apartment. I watch your fingers, as you take your earrings off - Your ear is almost glowing a bit in the light, and so I can see the faint outlines of the blood vessels branching under your skin, causing your earlobes to look like small opaque gumdrops, in context. It's all a bit disorienting, leaving me relieved, we're finally home - You seem so comfortable, undressing, slowly and casually, with something in between indifference and affection, occasionally, making eye-contact, smiling. Though I'm borderline offended by your pantyhose, which take me by sur- prise, given what you're wearing is, otherwise, tantamount to a costume: The translucent, brown top is high-waisted, looks a bit cheap, like a beer bottle. I can nonetheless see the outlines of your underwear in the bright light of the room, which compensates. Our apartment is not that big, though certainly not small - My snobbishness creeps into almost everything, including our home, though you are the rare exception, leaving even my exhausting pretensions exhausted, unable to find an unflattering aspect of your appearance, or behavior. The bedroom has what look like floor to ceiling windows, and the room is filled with typical Scandinavian summer sunlight: Ultra-bright and white.

  • DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW If Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey
    For Immediate Release: June 24, 2013 YEAH YEAH YEAHS “DESPAIR” VIDEO SHOT ATOP THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING NSFW if Afraid of Heights Video Co-Produced and Premiered by Noisey ( Credit: Patrick Daughters) New York, NY…June 24…The Yeah Yeah Yeahs reach new heights today with the video for their new single “Despair.” Skyscraper heights. 102-story, 443-meter, Empire State Building heights, to be exact. "There's been a lot of career highs and lows over the years of being in a band, but in the end, how many can say they shot a video on the top of the Empire State Building? We win,” says singer Karen O. “Move out the way, King Kong, Yeah Yeah Yeahs are gonna get real with you up in this piece!” “Despair” is the second single off the NYC-based trio’s album Mosquito (Interscope), which entered the Billboard Top 200 this April at #5. The concept for the video came courtesy of Noisey.com, who decided they wanted to co-produce a video for the band’s single by pairing New York’s quintessential landmark with New York’s quintessential band. However, until now, no band had ever shot a video atop the World’s Most Famous Building. ”The Empire State Building’s iconographic presence is not limited to any date or age. We are happy to offer our magical canvas, the real magic of the real New York City, to this video,” says Anthony E. Malkin of Malkin Holdings. “Big bands deserve big ideas. So, when Noisey was given the challenge to come up with a big idea for a new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video, we jokingly said… ‘let's get them to play on top of the Empire State Building!!’ Then we said, ‘actually…wait, why not!?’ We called the Empire State Building and not only were they into it, they were a pleasure to work with.

Works Cited 46 Appendix 49 Abstract Beyoncé’s latest album has become an instant social phenomenon worldwide. Given its innovative poetic, visual, musical and socio-politic impact, the famous and controversial African American singer has taken an untraveled road—both personal and professional. The purpose of this essay is to provide a close reading of the poetry, music, lyrics and visuals in four sections from Beyoncé’s critically acclaimed Lemonade (2016). To this end, I have chosen what I believe are the most representative sections of Lemonade together with their respective songs. Thus, I focus on the song “Hold Up” from Denial; “Daddy Lessons” from Accountability, “Freedom” from Hope, and “Formation,” where Beyoncé addresses topics such as infidelity, racism, women’s representation, and racism and inequality. I analyse these topics through a close-reading and interpretation of Warsan Shire’s poetry (a source of inspiration), as well as Beyoncé’s own music, lyrics, and imagery. From this analysis, it is safe to say that Lemonade is a relevant work of art that will perdure in time, since it highlights positive representations of African-Americans, at the same time Beyoncé critically denounces the current racial unrest lived in the USA.
