“Where the Wild Things Are” is the big screen adaptation of the childrens favourite book. Although I don’t want to make a habit of reviewing songs linked to movies this one has to be an exception. As a child I was always more into the Hungry Caterpillar and Jenny Yellow Hat books so the movie itself doesnt really interest me. What does is the soundtrack which is a Karen O led treat for the ears.

Karen O, along with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs & host of other artists including Brandford Cox of Deerhunter perform under the name of Karen O and the Kids. They’ve put together a collection of songs which would suit any children’s story perfectly. If you liked the ballad which is Maps, replaced the drums with flowers, surrounded O with children and happy pills “All is Love” would be the outcome.

The folky-pop palm muted guitar, soft piano riffs and clapping can’t help but make you feel like a kid again. Enjoy…
