Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- After years of being lambasted, New York-based artist Yoko Ono is happy to have other artists fiddle with her music.
The controversial widow of the John Lennon" class="tpstyle">Beatles John Lennon has just released a new album, wryly titled "Yes, I'm a Witch," on which younger acts such as the Flaming Lips, Peaches, Cat Power, the Polyphonic Spree and others created different musical backings to her vocals. Some of the results, Ono says, moved her to tears.
"I was just emotionally overwhelmed by each one of them," she says. "Like most artists, part of you doesn't want people to just meddle around with your songs, but I just felt so thankful that they even listened to my songs to be able to pick one that they liked and wanted to record."
Ono has no favorite among the 17 tracks, but she was particularly surprised by Flaming Lips' choice and treatment of the obscure "Cambridge 1969."
A club remix album of Ono songs is due out in April, and she's also working on some original material.
