The album cover for "Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono".
Death Cab for Cutie front man Ben Gibbard has compiled a tribute album for Yoko Ono titled “Ocean Child: Songs of Yoko Ono” that is scheduled to release on her 89th birthday – February 18th of 2022. The most recent song to be covered is “Nobody Sees Me Like You Do” by Japanese Breakfast. The band stripped down the instrumentals to just a piano and the lead singer Michelle Zauner offered dulcet vocals that transformed the song into a thoughtful ballad. The album will contain 14 songs from various artists including David Byrne, Yo La Tengo, The Flaming Lips, and We Are KING. Proceeds from the album will benefit WhyHunger, a grassroots organization working to end hunger and poverty.
