Explore the distinctive musical world of Yoko Ono – It's Alright Music CD, a release that captures Ono's fearless approach to songwriting, experimentation, and emotionally direct performance.
Originally released in the early 1980s as It's Alright (I See Rainbows), the album reflects a deeply personal period in Yoko Ono's career. Its songs move between pop, rock, new wave, and experimental influences while exploring themes of resilience, reflection, loss, hope, and moving forward.
Ono's willingness to push beyond conventional pop structures has made her solo catalog an intriguing part of music history, particularly for listeners interested in experimental rock, avant-garde music, new wave, and the wider musical world surrounding John Lennon and the Beatles.
For longtime Yoko Ono fans, collectors exploring her solo work, or listeners interested in adventurous music from the early '80s, this physical CD makes a fascinating addition to the collection.
Why You Need It Now
Yoko Ono's individual catalog titles can be considerably less common in physical format than mainstream releases, and older CD editions may move in and out of circulation as inventory changes. For collectors who want to explore her work beyond the most familiar recordings, securing a factory-sealed copy while it's available is a smart addition to the shelf.

Released just over a year after John Lennon's death, "It's Alright (I See Rainbows)" captures Ono at one of the most vulnerable and defiant moments of her life, channeling personal devastation into something genuinely forward-looking. Long out of print on vinyl, the album has remained a missing piece for listeners who know Ono's avant-garde work but haven't heard her at her most melodically open and emotionally direct.
Continuing in its series of Yoko Ono reissues, Secretly Canadian has announced that Ono’s seminal 1982 album It’s Alright (I See Rainbows) will be released August 28, 2026, in expanded CD and digital versions, and on vinyl for the first time in more than forty years, with expanded and enhanced artwork.
Influenced equally by 1960s girl group vocals and 1980s synthesizer experimentation, It's Alright (I See Rainbows) is an album of “adventurous... lush... committed and convincing avant-gardism” (Rolling Stone). As Ono said in her 1992 Onobox liner notes, “It was ’82 and it seemed as though I was finally in sync with the world.”
Vacillating from a widow’s never-truly-over grief, to the necessary uplift for an artist and mother to continue her life’s missions, tracks like “Loneliness” and “Spec of Dust” make way for poptimism via “Let the Tears Dry,” and title track “It’s Alright.”
As Ono said of the album in 1983, “It’s like my diary that I went through... and I’m just saying, hey, I’ve got the same kind of emotions that you’ve probably got too, and here I am saying hello... Around December 8th or whatever, I was feeling really heavy and feeling sort of down, you know... and then, side two, it’s all right... It was Sean [Lennon] who says, ‘Wake up, wake up, mommy.’ Like an angel that came and said, ‘Wake up!’... Wake up and dream love, and let the tears dry and I see rainbows. And sort of I’m saying all that. In result of Sean waking me up, see?”
Lennon, speaking of his mother in a more recent interview with NPR in 2025, “She would say that energy is just energy, so you can turn it into anything you like. And she always said that she would take that negative energy and turn it into something productive and creative... It never stopped her from creating and putting herself out there, and I really think that it paid off... You never know how long it'll take for people to appreciate you if you just kind of hang on and don't give up.”
Forty-plus years on, we couldn’t agree more.
