Ebony Bones: I See I Say
Bikini Kill, a new release from M.I.A., a playlist for pride and more in our recap of music we tweeted this week
This track comes from Yoko Ono’s 2007 Yes, I’m A Witch remix album. Cat Power aka Chan Marshall took the vocals from Ono’s original 1995 “Revelations” and transformed the song into a beautiful, stripped-down duet—a dialogue between the past and present. Marshall’s choice to remove the guitars and drums puts the focus on Ono’s poetic lyrics, parts of which are tenderly spoken in a mesmerizing manner; revealing a rare, tamer side of Ono, who just wrapped up curating this year’s Meltdown Festival in London.
