Laufey is set to launch her new album titled ‘A Matter Of Time’ on August 22nd.
The Chinese-Icelandic musician has led a resurgence of interest in classic jazz, fusing her exceptional skills with her natural melodic charm. With a concise repertoire, she has reimagined vintage styles, uncovering new avenues for exploration.
The upcoming album ‘A Matter Of Time’ represents her most significant challenge to date. Long-time collaborator Spencer Stewart, who worked with Laufey on her earlier two albums, reunites with Aaron Dessner (known for his work with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran) also contributing to the project.
“I’m always contemplating classical and jazz, and how to genuinely preserve and honor them. For this album,” Laufey shares, “I simply wanted to let my heart explore.”
The new single ‘Tough Luck’ serves as a sharp introduction to this new chapter. Regarding the track, Laufey describes, “‘Tough Luck’ is an intense song about love gone awry. I aimed to showcase a more aggressive side of myself—a side that this unfortunate relationship unearthed in me.”
