Yes, I'm a Witch is a remix album by Yoko Ono released on February 6, 2007 by Apple Records and Astralwerks. Artists invited to contribute were asked to select a song from Ono's back catalogue, and were then presented with all the necessary elements to create a remix/cover of their desire. According to the press release, nearly every artist chose only the vocals, and created entirely new backing tracks to demonstrate the versatility of Ono's compositions.
The song choices span Ono's career from her early experimental work with John Lennon in the late 1960s through to her solo career in the 1970s and 1980s. The album draws its title from a 1974 Ono song featured on her album A Story, a track which is featured on the album in a reworked version by The Brother Brothers.
A follow-up compilation of dance remixes, Open Your Box, was released on April 24.
In July 2015, Pitchfork Media announced a sequel to Yes, I'm A Witch—titled Yes, I'm a Witch Too—with collaborations and remixes from Miike Snow, Portugal The Man, Death Cab for Cutie, Penguin Prison, Peter Bjorn and John, Tune-Yards, Moby and others, to be released on February 19, 2016 on Manimal Vinyl.
All songs written by Yoko Ono.
