Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O has shared a new song called "I Shall Rise".
The track features on the OST for the latest instalment of the Lara Croft adventure saga, Rise Of The Tomb Raider.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, O says of the collaboration: “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.”
Last year O released Crush Songs, an album of lo-fi love tunes.
