5 Sep
Summary
- Yoko Ono's 1971-1973 albums showcase feminist evolution.
- Her music became more accessible while retaining experimental edge.
- Ono embraced pop and protest in her later '70s works.
Yoko Ono's artistic trajectory from 1971 to 1973 is highlighted through three seminal albums, demonstrating a growing personal and political vision that became increasingly accessible.
Her 1971 album, *Fly*, followed the experimental spirit of *Plastic Ono Band* with significant input from John Lennon. This period marked a fascinating shift as Ono's unique sound, characterized by avant-rock and conceptual experiments, began to gain broader appeal.
By 1973, her music evolved significantly. *Approximately Infinite Universe* integrated rock, glam, and funk elements for sociopolitical commentary. This album explored themes of protest and personal identity with strident conviction.
Later that year, *Feeling the Space* was created during a separation from Lennon. This work embraced pop music subversively, serving as a powerful feminist statement and showcasing Ono's independent creative force.
