Season of Glass

Season of Glass, released in 1981, was Yoko Ono's first album issued after the murder of John Lennon. It blends new wave, art rock, pop, and rock elements, pairing concise song forms and synth and guitar textures with Ono's raw, expressive vocal delivery. The music moves between spare, atmospheric arrangements and direct melodic passages while lyrics confront loss, mourning, and resilience. The record is also noted for its stark, confrontational visual presentation and for bringing Ono's experimental sensibilities into an early 1980s production context.
