Description
Double Fantasy is a 1980 album released by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It is the seventh and final studio album released by Lennon in his lifetime. Strange as it seems now, the last album John Lennon released in his lifetime was intended as a comeback, or rather as a parting wave at retirement: 'Watching the Wheels' and 'Beautiful Boy' celebrate the joys he found outside the star system, and '(Just Like) Starting Over' is a rocker about rejoining the domestic world that's also sort of about rejoining the pop world. The studio-pro arrangements are slick, but Lennon rarely sounded happier. Ono, whose songs alternate with his in a series of thematic diptychs, was taking a stab at channeling her artier impulses into pop.
