Yukimi, the lead singer of Swedish band Little Dragon, is sharing “Break Me Down,” her first single as a solo artist. The track is accompanied by a music video, directed by Fredrik Egerstrand. The video was shot at Hovs Hallar and the same beach where Ingmar Bergman shot scenes for his film ‘The Seventh Seal.’ In the video, Yukimi reenacts the iconic scene with Death and the Knight at the exact position and framing as a tribute to the classic film. The music video was shot on the very last day of summer in the south of Sweden this year.

This December, Yukimi will also be making her solo debut performance for the first time with live shows in New York, Santa Ana, Oakland and Los Angeles.

“Break Me Down” finds Yukimi showing an incredible display of growth and vulnerability. Co-written with Erik Bodin and Lianne La Havas, the collaboration is Yukimi’s first time writing and creating music with another woman, allowing her to fully express her feminine energy in an unguarded and personal manner. Fittingly, the song’s lyrics see her exploring inner strength during challenging life experiences. It’s a remarkable statement of intent from an artist opening a new phase of their career as a solo artist, but executed with the poise and intuition that comes from years of experience. “Break Me Down” is produced by Little Dragon bandmate Erik Bodin, playing on drums, bass and keys, with support from Lianne La Havas on Guitar.

Both Yukimi and Little Dragon has performed of Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Tyler The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, and collaborate with Mac Miller, Kali Uchis, Gorillaz, Tinashe, Big Boi, JID, KAYTRANADA, Flume, De La Soul, BADBADNOTGOOD, DJ Shadow, ODESZA, Faith Evans and Dave Sitek, among others.
