About this item

Influential icon and legendary artist, Yukimi Nagano, best known to date as the lead singer of the Grammy-nominated, four-piece Swedish band Little Dragon, releases her debut solo album, 'For You'. Featuring De La Soul, Lianne La Havas, plus Erik Boden from Little Dragon who helped co-produce the record, this new venture will also see Yukimi step fully into her power, not just as a singer, songwriter and performer, but as a woman who has long been operating in a male dominated industry blooming on her own. This breakthrough moment has provided Yukimi with the space and freedom to explore themes that she has never touched on before; motherhood, her children, death, loss, and all encompassing feminine energy.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Dynamically fluid, thematically wide selection of jazzy percussion and rolling instrumentation, soulful vocals and off-piste instrumental choices. There are echoes here of folk and hip-hop, the feel of ambient music and classic soul, and the melodies and drive of indie music yet it sounds like no one of those. Impeccable.
