Flying solo is a state of independence, a sense of liberation, an intrepid yet intimate act. For singer-songwriter Yukimi Nagano, the celebrated vocalist and co-founder of Grammy-nominated outfit Little Dragon, it is all these things and more. Yukimi’s debut solo album, For You, sees her step away from a band formation while staying with the always innovative Ninja Tune label – and creating some of her most beautiful work to date: both intensely personal, and brilliantly relatable. Yukimi’s voice remains unmistakable on For You; she elegantly entwines musical styles from jazz, soul and electronic pop to hip hop, roots and psychedelia, but her new song themes dig deeper than ever, across love, loss, feminine energy and innate resilience. Her decision to take a solo route also marks a new chapter in her accomplishments, which have included seven acclaimed albums with Little Dragon (most recently, 2023’s Slugs Of Love), and memorable guest spots with acts such as Gorillaz, De La Soul, DJ Shadow, SBTRKT and BADBADNOTGOOD, as well as becoming a mother to two young children. Alongside the arrival of Yukimi's solo debut she'll also embark on an extensive North American solo tour accompanied by a full band just following the album release. Following the solo tour she's slated for a high profile opening slot which will be announced shortly.
