Little Dragon

Little Dragon


British European 2007's 'Little Dragon' is a dynamic selftitled debut that is yet another credible and enchanting Euroapproximation of soul and rhythm and blues Vocalist Yukimi Nagano displays all the subtle inflections and conspicuous acrobatics that have identified the RampB genre for years but specifically the more recent paradigms of the Chaka Khans and MJBs noted easily on the album's highlight 'Constant Surprises' Meanwhile 'Wink' is a sexy synthheavy club banger that might conjure some of the more poppish acts Rihanna But the album and group don't stop there thankfully They give you everything from quaint piano ballads 'Twice' to jazzdrenched pieces like 'After the Rain' where keyboardist Hakan Wirenstrand makes like Herbie Hancock with his sparse and dissonant chording 'Forever' is an ambient number meant for dark lounges with a lot of pheromone activity It's a genuine album bolstered by the group's collective artistry It proves once again that geography has very little to do with authenticityLP Limited vinyl Repress
