On the cusp of releasing her debut solo album, ‘For You,’ Yukimi from the Swedish electronic band Little Dragon is here to break down some of her new tracks. “Break Me Down” is about “winning over the voices in your head,” she tells SoundCloud. “Sad Makeup” emerged out of a “creative storm” with longtime collaborator Erik Bodin. “Peace Reign,” she says, is a “little lullaby” about finding a way to remain hopeful in a troubled world. Having worked with Mac Miller, Tinashe, Gorillaz and many more, Yukimi is now prepared to step out front on her own. Listen now, only on SoundCloud.
