Yoko Ono releases minimalist cover of 'Imagine' on John Lennon's 78th birthday: Listen
Today (October 10) marks what would have been John Lennon’s 78th birthday. To celebrate the occasion, Lennon's widow and once 'Bed-In for Peace' partner Yoko Ono has released a stripped back, minimalist cover of the classic hit 'Imagine'.
The stripped back version is taken from Yoko Ono’s forthcoming album ‘Warzone’ which is set for release on October 19. The album was earlier previewed by the grim title track in July, which opened with a plethora of war sounds including elephant trumpets, sirens, and machine guns. After 50 years in the music industry, 'Warzone' marks Yoko Ono's twenty-first studio album and serves as a follow-up to 2013’s 'Take Me to the Land of Hell.' On 'Warpaint', Ono revisits 13 songs from her past work from 1970-2009 and "re-imagines" them.
