Laufey Releases 'A Matter of Time,' Marking a Darker Turn

The Grammy winner calls the 14-track project an overthinker’s guide to love.

Overview

  • Released Aug. 22, the third studio album expands her sound with a darker emotional palette and explorations of anxiety and anger.
  • She describes the record as her most daring work to date and a step beyond the soft persona that first drew fans.
  • Sessions at New York’s Electric Lady Studios proved pivotal, which she says almost changed the course of the album.
  • The Icelandic‑Chinese artist resists being boxed in as jazz, characterizing her music as a mix of jazz, classical, bossa nova and pop.
  • She won a 2024 Grammy for Bewitched, has about 8.7 million TikTok followers, and released a Snow White video directed by her twin, Junia Lin.
