Back in November, Karen O and Danger Mouse shared their first collaborative single, a sprawling 9-minute track titled “Lux Prima.” Now it turns out their album has that same title: The duo confirmed today that Lux Prima will be released on March 15 via BMG. They also shared the new single “Woman,” an energetic, mid-tempo indie rocker that captures Karen O’s feelings in a post-election world.
Karen O said of the song, “‘Woman’ came like a bolt out of the blue when we were in the studio. We did a first pass where I was blurting unintelligible words and Danger Mouse and I were like, ‘Dang! That was intense.’ The atmosphere was volatile with it being just after the election. A lot of people felt helpless like you do when you’re a scared kid looking for assurance that everything is gonna be alright. I like to write songs that anyone can relate to but this one felt especially for the inner child in me that needed the bullies out there to know you don’t f*ck with me. I’m a woman now and I’ll protect that inner girl in me from hell and high water.”
