Karen O Releases New Song 'Day Go By'

(Radio.com) Fourteen years into her career as Yeah Yeah Yeahs' frontwoman, Karen O is finally gearing up to release her solo debut, Crush Songs - a collection of lo-fi bedroom songs she wrote back in 2006 and 2007. Today brings the second preview of it, "Day Go By."

The scratchy strummer follows up the album's lead single "Rapt" with an equally stripped down sound. On it, Karen O gives insight into the album's title, singing about unrequited love: "I really need my fix cuz you got me so sick / I know / That I'm burning for you."

It's yet another reminder that Karen O's greatest power as a songwriter is in creating pinpricking emotional intensity within a mere few verses - a strength she showed off in "The Moon Song," written for Spike Jonze's Her, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song this year.
