None of this is too complicated, which is why it works. Barrett (Oscar-nominated for Her), depicts O floating around underwater in a bright red dress, her blonde shock of hair gone brown again. The minimalistic video, directed by her husband and production designed by K.K. Yeah Yeah Yeahs have done acoustic renditions of their songs before, and they sound a bit like this. The song clocks in under two minutes, which is enough. "Do I really need / Another habit like you?" O sings in the chorus, deciding that yes she thinks she might.

Each of the album’s fifteen love ditties were recorded between 20 and (according to Karen O) were originally not intended.

It centers on a patient, simple acoustic strum, and a very direct vocal. The dreamy, acoustic opening track Ooo sets the tone for the collection of lo-fi, stripped-down love songs from Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O on her debut solo LP Crush Songs. The song actually originates from her brief stint under the moniker Native Korean Rock from a few years back. While it sounds a little like a lo-fi track that wouldn't have felt out of place on PJ Harvey's Uh Huh Her, it is also very much a Karen O song. Would it just be another YYYs album? Well, here comes the first taste, a song called "Rapt," and for those who have been paying attention to O's career, it isn't much of a shock. Yeah Yeah Yeahs front woman Karen O recently announced her first solo album, Crush Songs, and everyone was wondering what it would sound like.
