Yes, I'm a Witch Too arrives nine years after the original
Yes, I'm a Witch, which found
Yoko Ono collaborating with a bewitching and sometimes bewildering array of artists from the worlds of indie and dance music. This time,
Ono's collaborators range from her son
Sean Lennon to
Moby to
Peter Bjorn and John. As on
Yes, I'm a Witch, the best moments are often the wildest and hardest to classify: along with
tUnE-yArDs' brash take on "Warrior Woman" -- which appeared previously on Onobox -- the highlights include
Sparks' torchy, theatrical "Give Me Something" and
Ebony Bones' unsettling, footwork-inspired remix of "No Bed for Beatle John." Of the more dance-minded remixes, among the best are
Danny Tenaglia's atmospheric version of "Walking on Thin Ice" and
Dave Audé's electro reworking of "Wouldnit," which take
Ono's music in very different but equally authentic directions.
Yes, I'm a Witch Too may be somewhat uneven, but its wildly different tracks reaffirm that
Ono's music contains multitudes. ~ Heather Phares
