Laufey will release new album ‘A Matter Of Time’ on August 22nd.
The Chinese-Icelandic artist has spearheaded a new wave of interest in classic jazz, with Laufey’s impeccable chops blended to her innate melodic appeal. With her succinct catalogue she’s flipped vintage tropes over, finding fresh room to explore.
New album ‘A Matter Of Time’ is out on August 22nd, and it’s her biggest challenge yet. Long-time collaborator Spencer Stewart (who worked with Laufey on her first two albums) returns with Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran) also stepping into the fray.
“I’m constantly thinking about classical and jazz, how to properly preserve them and pay homage. For this album,” says Laufey, “I just wanted to let my heart wander.”
New single ‘Tough Luck’ is a crisp offering, the perfect first page for this fresh chapter. Of the song, Laufey explains, “‘Tough Luck’ is a fiery song about love gone wrong. I wanted to reveal an angrier side of myself—a side that this unfortunate relationship brought out in me.”
Tune in now.
