Swedish singer/songwriter Yukimi Nagano is best known as the front woman of synth band Little Dragon. She has also garnered attention with her collaborations with other artists, notably Gorillaz and SBTRKT, by applying her honeyed vocals to tracks, often making them highlights on their respective albums.
Nagano made an early start on her career, working alongside Andreas Saag on Swell Sessions when she was 18. She originally made a name for herself through collaboration, specifically by working with Swedish nu-jazz duo Koop on both their 2001 album Waltz for Koop, and their 2006 follow-up Koop Islands. The next year she formed her own group, Little Dragon, with some childhood friends. They would release seven albums together over the next two decades. Nagano continued to be a prolific guest vocalist over the years; notable collaborations include a couple of tracks on Gorillaz's 2010 album Plastic Beach and on SBTRKT's self-titled debut in 2011; the same year, she sang on a track on DJ Shadow's The Less You Know, The Better. Following the release of Little Dragon's fifth album, 2023's Slugs of Love, Nagano began writing a solo album, bringing along fellow bandmember Erik Bodin to produce. For You saw release in 2025 on Ninja Tune.
