Karen O Pens "I Shall Rise" For New Tomb Raider Game, Gives Yeah Yeah Yeahs Update

Yeah Yeah Yeahs‘ Karen O has been involved with a number of film soundtracks over the past several years – Where the Wild Things AreHer, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – and in the past week, she’s been back in the soundtracking game, this time for a TV show and a video game.

Not long after covering Animotion’s “Obsession” for the opening sequence of Starz’s ballet-themed drama Flesh and Bone, Karen has penned “I Shall Rise”, a new original song for the upcoming video game Rise of the Tomb Raider, which is slated to hit stores November 10, as Rolling Stone points out. Below, check out an excerpt of the song as part of a trailer for the forthcoming game; the track will be released in full tomorrow.

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Karen O – who clarifies that she is not a gamer – offered her thoughts on the new track and explained how it came to be:

It all sounded really tasty. They wanted drama and high-stakes and melodrama. That was very appealing to me because I love making music connected to a storyline. It was all stuff I loved like having the theme song to [Lara Croft] becoming an icon and the creation myth to the moment she becomes Lara.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman and her husband, Barnaby Clay, recently welcomed a son – an experience that she says inspired “I Shall Rise”:

Some of the themes [Microsoft] gave me was transformation and survival and realizing one’s own destiny and pushing past one’s own limits, which is basically everything I’ve been going through with a newborn baby the past two months. I’ve been going through my own transformation.

Last year, Karen O said that Yeah Yeah Yeahs were on “a bit of a hiatus”: an arrangement that seems unlikely to change anytime soon, based on her comments in Rolling Stone. “It’s just waiting to see how everything works out with starting a family and seizing the moment when it strikes,” she told the magazine, “I’m in the full-time job of [motherhood] at the moment.”

Mobby Rosas – “Up To Sum” f/ Westside Boogie (Video) + “The 4th Step” (Album)

Published

The track “up to sum” is one of my favorite stories of how a collaboration came about. WESTSIDE BOOGIE had posted an open verse challenge for his song “Mood” on instagram and I picked it up. I’ve done a few open verse challenges before, to no favorable outcome other than just posting more content. I didn’t think much would come of this verse entry. I recorded my video audition for the song while at work, I was a server at a hotel restaurant in downtown LA, in uniform and all. I posted it and tagged WS Boogie and to my surprise, he DM’d me saying that he thought my verse was hard and if I ever wanted him on a project, he was down. I remember reading the message at work and being in shock. I had wanted to work with WS Boogie for years and had even tried to reach out in the past, to no response. I immediately hopped on the opportunity to.
