As Laufey (pronounced lay-vay) began to craft “A Matter of Time,” she felt freer than ever. “Every new album for me is a blank book of stories to write,” said Laufey, and it’s true. An artist who pours her life experiences into her work, she infused “Everything I Know About Love” (2022), with coming-of-age tales revolving around leaving home and the GRAMMY®-winning “Bewitched” (2023), she dove headlong into young love. Brought to life with sweeping orchestral arrangements, interwoven strains of bossa nova and jazz and Laufey’s honeyed alto, those albums cemented Laufey as a star who can make sounds from bygone eras feel timeless.
Now, on “A Matter of Time,” Laufey further crystalizes her singular sound—one still rooted in her beloved influences, but forgoes any strict standards or rules. “I’m constantly thinking about classical and jazz, how to properly preserve them and pay homage.” For this album she continues to do so while also noting, “I just wanted to let my heart wander.” To that end, she teamed with a pair of co-producers, one comforting and familiar—Spencer Stewart who worked with Laufey on her first two albums —and one new to her, but deeply attuned to artists looking to open up, Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran). Feeling sonically unrestrained gave Laufey the space to share new sides of herself while exploring sometimes heavier themes. “People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories and romantic music,” said Laufey. “This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.” “A Matter of Time” finds Laufey at her most daring and also playful, as she captures the experience of “real love” in its many forms and what it means to observe as it strips you down to when you are at your most vulnerable.
Laufey has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz-and classical-infused pop music. She has become a bridge for the older music she adores, from Chet Baker to Carole King to Ravel, by offering her bold interpretation to a younger crop of listeners who have become deeply connected over time. This was all by design — Laufey’s self-assigned raison d’être — and it worked, allowing her to bring to life the whimsical universe known as “Laufey Land.”
Raised between Reykjavik and Washington, D.C., she learned piano and cello as a child, later studying at Berklee College of Music. There, she wrote her debut EP, 2021’s “Typical of Me,” whose striking single “Street by Street” debuted at number one on Icelandic Radio, the first of many achievements that have grown to include 5 billion global streams, a social media audience of 25 million, the biggest jazz LP debut in Spotify history and an album in Billboard’s Top 20 (both for “Bewitched”), a growing stockpile of platinum plaques, a Forbes 30 Under 30 designation and being named one of TIME’s 2025 Women of the Year. She has sold out the Hollywood Bowl, Radio City Music Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall; performed backed by the LA Phil, the National Symphony Orchestra and the China Philharmonic Orchestra; shared the stage with the likes of Jon Batiste and Raye and collaborated on records with artists from Beabadoobee to Norah Jones.
