Yeah Yeah Yeah’s frontwoman Karen O’s soundtrack to 2009’s fantastical Where The Wild Things Are got a nod in the Grammy nominations for ‘All Is Love’, a track written by herself and bandmate Nick Zinner.
O’s ex Spike Jonze directed the take on Maurice Sendak’s book for kids which combined live action, animatronics and CGI to tell the story of Max, a nine-year-old boy who discovers an island full of ‘wild things’ who make him their King.
Under the name Karen O And The Kids, the singer composed the soundtrack in collaboration with Carter Burwell – the man behind the score in Twilight.
Best music moment: Karen O And The Kids, ‘All Is Love’.
