Yes, I'm a Witch is Yoko Ono's first standalone remix album . At the same time, including the three avant-garde albums as well as Some Time in New York City , Double Fantasy , Milk and Honey and two interview albums with her husband John Lennon , two compilation albums and the live album by the Plastic Ono Band, it is Yoko Ono's twenty-second album. It was released on February 6, 2007 in the US and on February 19, 2007 in the UK.

History of origin

In 1980, Yoko Ono and John Lennon planned to release a Yoko Ono EP called Yoko Only , which would contain the following tracks: Walking on Thin Ice and remixes of Open Your Box , Kiss Kiss Kiss and Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him . This project was no longer implemented in this form.

From 2001, remixers , such as Pet Shop Boys , Orange Factory, Peter Rauhofer and Danny Tenaglia, remixed various songs by Yoko Ono, making sure that the remixes are "danceable" and can be used in discos. During the mixes, the original instrumentation was often supplemented or even replaced by new instrumentation. The name Yoko Ono was shortened to ONO.

In April 2003, the remix of Walking on Thin Ice reached number one on Billboard's Dance / Club Play charts in the United States. By 2015, Yoko Ono had a total of eleven number one hits and five other top ten hits on the Billboard dance charts . For Yes, I'm a Witch , the principle was left unchanged. The artists listed under the title list only used the vocals of Yoko Ono and produced the music. The album contains not only dance remixes, but also ballads and pop-oriented songs. In the song Revelation Yoko Ono sings with Cat Power in duet . Yoko Ono and Rob Stevens were named as executive producers. Again, only the name ONO was mentioned on the CD. Another remix album, Open Your Box , was released two months later, in April 2007.
