YOKO ONO'S "GIVE ME SOMETHING" (JUNIOR BOYS REMIX) Becomes The Pioneering Visionary's 4th Consecutive #1 Billboard Club Chart-Topper A Kweevak.com Press Release
 New York - Hot on the heels of achieving her unprecedented 4th consecutive #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart-topper with "GIVE ME SOMETHING" (THE REMIXES), Yoko Ono teams up with Myspace Music and RCRD LBL to premiere one of the set's stand-out mixes from JUNIOR BOYS as an exclusive free download. The track is just one of several contagious reworks of the fiery original (taken from John & Yoko's landmark 1980 opus DOUBLE FANTASY) that has been updated and remodeled by contemporary producers including MOREL, DAVE AUDE, STONEBRIDGE, TWISTED SOUND+VISION, RALPHI ROSARIO, ALEX TRAX and alt-rock icons SPARKS. The single is the latest offering from ONO's ongoing remix campaign, which has paired the avant-garde icon with an array of cutting edge producers and collaborators (FLAMING LIPS, PET SHOP BOYS, BASEMENT JAXX, THE POLYPHONIC SPREE, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS and SPIRITUALIZED) and spawned 6 #1 dance singles to date including "GIVE ME SOMETHING", "I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH", "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE", "NO NO NO", "EVERYMAN / EVERYWOMAN" and her seminal "WALKING ON THIN ICE". BIOGRAPHY: YOKO ONO is a force of nature. She is also one of the most important, enduring and controversial artists of the last half-century. For more than four decades, Yoko has breathed life into a brilliant body of musical work. Initially, this fact was only grasped by listeners at the fringes but the last decade has finally seen a serious re-evaluation of her as an artist and musician. Her uncanny ability to deliver genuinely avant-garde statements to a mainstream world has become the foundation, thrust and hallmark of her ambitious remix campaign series. Since 2001, Yoko's alter-electronic ego, ONO, has been pumping out revamped reworks of classics from her vast catalog to deliver compelling interpretations for the 21st Century that have been heralded and embraced by a new digital generation of enthusiastic music hipsters worldwide. Partnering with cutting edge producers and collaborators such as FLAMING LIPS, PET SHOP BOYS, BASEMENT JAXX, DANNY TENAGLIA, SPIRITUALIZED, CSS, FELIX DA HOUSECAT, ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS and PEACHES, ONO has ingeniously transformed from vilified outsider to renowned performance-art innovator, uncompromising counter-culture revolutionary, influential punk rock pioneer and chart-topping dance/electronic-music heroine. To date, the series has spawned two critically-acclaimed collections, YES, I'M A WITCH and OPEN YOUR BOX, and 6 #1 Billboard dance singles to date including "I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH", "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE", "NO NO NO" (the #4 Billboard Dance record of the DECADE), "EVERYMAN / EVERYWOMAN" her seminal"WALKING ON THIN ICE", and now "GIVE ME SOMETHING", demonstrating the continuing vitality and versatility of her work. With such phenomenal successes, it appears that the world has finally caught up with the perennial groundbreaking icon who's been affectionately rebranded "warm and inviting" (Pitchfork), "truly vital" (Rolling Stone) and "the grand matriarch of cool" (BBC). • Info: -- USA/NY 2010: www.imaginepeace.com |
