Summary

Icelandic singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey has carved out a singular space between jazz bossanova and Gen Z pop sensibility, and she’s back on the couch to talk about her new, third solo LP A Matter of Time. It’s the next chapter in her coming of age, still whimsical and heady with love (‘Love Girl’), but more lyrically wry — check ‘Mr. Eclectic’ for her cheeky pillorying of the performative, man-splaining dude on a date. She calls this record the marking of the end of her girlhood.

We also talk about her Icelandic-Chinese roots, advice from Norah Jones, teaming up with Clairo, climbing cringe mountain, shitposting on TikTok, Love Island, the unrealistic standards for women in the spotlight and so much more. Always a joy to have a catch up with Laufey. Plus don’t miss her installment of Amazon’s Songline. Link below.
