Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) has shared a cover of Yoko Ono’s 1981 track ‘Nobody Sees Me Like You Do’, landing as the latest preview of the forthcoming ‘Ocean Child’ tribute album.Initially appearing on ‘Season Of Glass’ – Ono’s fifth studio album, and her first solo effort after the 1980 murder of husband John Lennon – Zauner’s take on the song swaps its dense, orchestrally flourished soundscape for crisp, spatial production carried by clean piano chords and her own soaring vocal.Take a look at the lyric video for Japanese Breakfast’s rendition of ‘Nobody Sees Me Like You Do’ below:‘Ocean Child: Songs Of Yoko Ono’ will be released on February 18 via Canvasback Music / Atlantic.
