Karen O - "Body" - Live

The charismatic lead singer for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Karen O, finally released her debut solo album 'Crush Songs' in 2014. It is generally an acoustic album comprising of songs she recorded over a five year period from 2006. For some it's no more than a collection of demos - but to others, including myself, it is another side of Karen O that was cherished. On 'Body' she adds a touch of the Karen O we know from Yeah Yeah Yeahs near the end. A perfect live rendition - or just a case of "don't let the intimate surroundings change a thing".
