Just in time for the balmy, dog days of summer, YOKO ONO delivers another sweltering dancefloor juggernaut with the release of “WOULDNIT” (I’M A STAR). The explosive single finds the avant-garde pioneer, once again, holding sway with discerning DJs, clubbers and tastemakers worldwide who’ve propelled her to the top of Billboard’s club charts nestled comfortably [...]
Yoko Ono has had four consecutive No. 1 hits on the Dance/Club song charts, heralding what she calls the “new era of Yoko Ono.” Surprisingly, she says this success originated from something akin to rebellion against her father.
Ono was only about four years old when her father, a brilliant pianist, decided she should have formal musical schooling in her home country of Japan. From there, she learned pitch, chords, harmony, melodies both in class and through frequent concerts given before parent-filled audiences.
from Popwreckoning Yoko Ono is one of the most recognizable, successful female artists in pop culture today. In 2009, she released the album Between My Head and the Sky, produced by her son, Sean. In the wake of the success of “Give Me Something,” Yoko’s fourth single in a row to reach #1 on the [...]
Yoko Ono is one of the most polarizing figures in rock ‘n’ roll history. The people that love her LOVE her and the people who don’t love her never will. Aside from being married to John Lennon, she also created the blueprint for avant-punk and electronic music, and remixes of her songs have been regularly charting in the top ten of Billboard’s dance music chart for the last decade. Ono has an amazing new CD, Between My Head and the Sky, that continues her artistic progression and has to be the greatest rock record ever recorded by a 76-year-old.
Yoko Ono still wants to reconnect humanity with its long-lost id. From Fluxus to songstress, the 77-year-old has used every free-associative vocal, literary, and visual avant-garde tool at her disposal to help resuscitate the uncensored thoughts of audiences around the world. Born in 1933 in Japan, Ono was the first female artist to market experimental primal wails as legitimate music at a time when demure vulnerability was prized over a woman’s angst-ridden screams. Her proto-feminist punk, often orgasmic vocals were inspired by childbirth; musically, her spawn includes bands like Deerhoof, Animal Collective, Sonic Youth, Bikini Kill and the whole riot grrrl gang- who owe their flagrant embrace of the loud and the absurd to Ono’s radical displays of freedom.

She may be 75, but she hit number one on the Billboard club chart with her “Give Peace a Chance (the Remixes)” this month. The song’s release marked the 39th anniversary of the song’s original recording — during her and Lennon’s legendary week-long Bed-In for Peace at Montreal’s Queen Elizabeth Hotel — giving new life [...]
Over the past few years you’ve collaborated with many groundbreaking artists including (but not limited to) Antony, Peaches, Spiritualized, Le Tigre & Cat Power. Whom did you have the best time working with and why? Also, is Peaches as twisted as we’re led to believe? They are all great people. I didn’t know much about indie music [...]
Much has happened since John Lennon recorded “Give Peace a Chance” 39 years ago with new bride Yoko Ono in a Montreal Hotel Room, during their “Bed in For Peace.” Presidents have come and gone, wars lost and won, and no one’s talkin’ much bout Timmy Leary, Tommy Smothers, Tommy Cooper, Derek Taylor anymore. One [...]
