Chinese-Icelandic singer Laufey has shared new single ‘Silver Lining’.
The songwriter broke through with a series of releases that reconfigured vintage jazz from a Gen Z perspective, resulting in something classic, but also deeply new.
Her Grammy-winning breakthrough album ‘Bewitched’ was quite a moment – in a recent CLASH interview, actor Jeff Goldblum told us he was among many who had fallen under Laufey’s spell.
Working with alacrity, Laufey has returned to the studio, finding fresh focus on the song ‘Silver Lining’.
Remaining tethered to her jazz roots, ‘Silver Lining’ takes Laufey someplace fresh, the effervescent chorus capturing the initial rush of love and attraction.
She comments…
“‘Silver Lining’ is a love song about being able to set your true personality free when you fall in love. Your inner child comes out and you are emboldened by lust. Even if it takes you to hell, at least you’re with your partner.”
The visual for ‘Silver Lining’ was directed by Jason Lester, who Laufey collaborated with on the videos for ‘From the Start’ and ‘Santa Baby’, and shot on 35mm film.
