Yukimi has been building to this moment. Born in Gothenburg to an American mother and Japanese father, her love of music blossomed in childhood, and became a professional career in her teens. She soon began to write and sing her own material. When a famous Swedish pop hit factory approached her to sing their tunes, she declined – instead, she seized creative adventures with Little Dragon: a band she’d co-founded with high school friends in 1996.

The 12 exhilaratingly far-ranging tracks on For You celebrate Yukimi’s independent spirit, but they also prove she has never been a solitary soul. The album is lushly co-produced with her Little Dragon bandmate and long-time friend Erik Bodin, who also produced Yukimi’s new compositions. “I’m definitely a team player,” she confirms. “I think my studio is my safe space, and Erik is such a close friend, I feel in my comfort zone when I’m writing with him.”

Yukimi also finds a kindred creative spirit in another talented collaborator: British singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas, who collaborates on songs including the distinctly tender confessional “Stream Of Consciousness”. Yukimi beams: “Lianne came in like a force of nature. We really boosted and inspired each other, which was such a beautiful thing.”
