Yes, I'm a Witch is a remix album by Yoko Ono released in February 2007. 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 to their desires. 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.
Notable contributors include The Apples in Stereo, DJ Spooky, The Flaming Lips, Peaches, The Polyphonic Spree, Porcupine Tree, Shitake Monkey, and Le Tigre. The song choices span Ono's career from her early experimental work with John Lennon in the late 1960's through her solo career in the 70's and 80's. The album draws its title from a 1974 Ono song featured on her album A Story, a track which is also featured here reworked by The Brother Brothers. "O'Oh" samples Grover Washington, Jr.'s hit "Mister Magic".
Another compilation of Ono dance remixes, Open Your Box, is due out on April 24.
