Crush Songs is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Karen O. It was released on September 5, 2014 by Cult Records. It was initially recorded as a side project of Karen O, best known as the lead vocalist of the band Yeah Yeah Yeahs, between 2006 and 2010. After the band's 2014 hiatus, she developed the material into a full album. Musically, Crush Songs is a lo-fi album featuring acoustic instrumentation and lyrics about her experiences with love and its uncertainty. Crush Songs charted in six territories upon release, debuting at number 44 on the US Billboard 200 and number 61 on the UK Albums Chart. Critics praised its emotive composition and Karen O's vocals, but felt the album sounded incomplete. For promotion, "Rapt" was released as the only single, and the singer embarked on a mini tour from August to October 2014. A live album followed in 2015.
