Well You Don’t Say: 10 White Singers We Once Thought Were Black

- By

Yukimi Nagano of “Little Dragon”

If you don’t know the group Little Dragon, PLEASE look up their music. Back when I was working in retail, I used to hear a song by them called “Constant Surprises” and wanted it so bad that I went home and did research on Google to find it. After hearing the song about umpteen times and assuming it was a black woman and her band, I was surprised to learn that not only was she not black, but she was Japanese-Swedish and the rest of her band was a group of white Swedish men. Her voice, as well as the beats and rhythms created by the group as a whole reminded me of some new wave of R&B, but instead, they are classified as everything from electronic pop to neo soul. Check ’em out!
