It's Alright (I See Rainbows) is the sixth solo album by Yoko Ono, and her second release after the murder of husband John Lennon. As a variation of a theme concerning its predecessor, the back cover features a transparent image of Lennon in a then-contemporary photo of Yoko and Sean, depicted in Central Park. Released in 1982, all songs were written, composed, arranged, produced, and sung by Ono. It charted at #98 in the US.
The album saw Yoko take her music in a more uplifting direction following 1981's Season of Glass, despite the "bulk" of the album's songs "deal[ing] with her unabated feelings of loss over Lennon."
Yoko reflected on the making of the album when writing liner notes for the 1992 boxset Onobox:
In 1997, the album was remastered by Ono and Rob Stevens for release on CD by Rykodisc. The 1997 release used newly remixed versions of all songs. Some of the original mixes had a CD release in 1992 on the Onobox set but the rest remain unreleased on CD to date.
Billboard called it Ono's "most commercially accessible musical effort." Writing for Rolling Stone, Kurt Loder noted its "committed and convincing avant-gardism", which produced a "synthesizer-based pop thatâÂÂs more adventurous than much of the music currently being ground out by Europersons half her age."
All songs written by Yoko Ono.
