Beautiful Loser Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (I went 30 pages back in the music section and couldn’t find a thread for her music so here it is!) Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) Lín Jónsdóttir is a relatively new artist, debuting in 2020 with the single “Street by Street”. Her jazzy, bossa nova sound and voice has reached a new and younger audience; some describe it as bedroom jazz. She hopes she will bring jazz to people like Taylor Swift brought country and pop to bigger audiences. I listen to both jazz and bossa nova occasionally and accidentally came across her song “Falling Behind” when scrolling on Instagram and that song describes how I feel so well, I finally have a song I can relate to lol. I will definitely listen to more of her music in the near future! 1 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )

Beautiful Loser Posted October 8, 2023 Author Posted October 8, 2023 Finished listening to Everything I know about love, I think she's my new favorite artist! She's very talented... on to the next EP or album! 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
Beautiful Loser Posted October 12, 2023 Author Posted October 12, 2023 I've listened to her albums and EP now, listening through them a second time now. Honestly surprised James doesn't have more listens on Spotify, I think it's really funny and sweet! 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
annedauphine Posted October 20, 2023 Posted October 20, 2023 I am listening to her for the first time and I have a very real crush on her music. It's amazing! It reminds me of the French musicals I love, from Michel Legrand 1 Quote
Beautiful Loser Posted October 21, 2023 Author Posted October 21, 2023 A night to remember by Laufey and beabadoobee was released yesterday! I think it sounds like the perfect mix of both their styles. 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
Beautiful Loser Posted October 21, 2023 Author Posted October 21, 2023 I'm checking out her youtube channel, there are so many videos... I wanna post the music videos here so they'll be easier to find, and then I saw she has "a day in my life" type of videos too. She seems to chill and nice.

Beautiful Loser Posted October 21, 2023 Author Posted October 21, 2023 I’m sad I didn’t find her earlier though, her EU/UK tour is completely sold out and from the comments I’ve read online, they seem to have been sold out within minutes because the venues are so small. 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
Beautiful Loser Posted November 8, 2023 Author Posted November 8, 2023 New article/interview with Billboard, with a nice description of how it all began and where she is now: https://www.billboard.com/music/features/laufey-from-the-start-bewitched-jazz-interview-chartbreaker-1235466072/ New holiday song, and another one with Norah Jones (!) will be out this week. I haven't listened to this one yet and I think I'll wait until it's December before I do. 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
Beautiful Loser Posted February 2, 2024 Author Posted February 2, 2024 Forgot to mention it here although it’s been known for a while now: Laufey is a Grammy nominee! Best traditional pop vocal album, for Bewitched! And she’ll also perform at the Grammy premiere ceremony, a few hours before the real, big thing. I hope it’ll be recorded and shared later! 0 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )

Beautiful Loser Posted February 5, 2024 Author Posted February 5, 2024 Laufey won her first Grammy yesterday for Bewitched (album), in the category traditional pop vocal album! https://www.instagram.com/p/C28zMUHrn61/?igsh=cHR3OGV3bGp6b3Jp She also performed From the start (and sounded a bit nervous in the beginning but she recovered quickly!) and got to play cello in the background with Billy Joel. I can’t find youtube videos unfortunately so check Laufey’s instagram if you want to watch the performance of From the start: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C287HVOrspj/?igsh=dXR3NmdrcTM4dzA= Billy Joel (still picture): https://x.com/laufeyland/status/1754362759574343993?s=46 AND! She’s posing for a photograph with her twin sister, Junia, and Lana! I hope they got acquainted a bit, I’ve wondered what Lana would say about Laufey since they’re both fans of jazz and Lana has even referred to herself as a jazz singer in her songs.

I wish Lana would do a book club too. Can you imagine I like Laufey's music but I don't think I could ever love it, if you know what I mean. It doesn't (yet) have that special something that would get me obsessed. Having said that, her voice is so delicate and pretty and the music is so fairytale-like. Bewitched is so lovely in particular I also looked at some of the youtube videos you posted and she seems like the sweetest soul. 1 Quote The cicadas in the sunset are your guide

I feel like we’d get the most obscure books recommended by Lana, or someone would try to cancel her for the book choices, haha! And I get what you mean, I personally love her lyrics, they’re so sweet and romantic! Truly a daydreamer’s kind of music, haha. I think her most gorgeous songs are California and Me, and that moment when the first chorus of Haunted is done… sooo beautiful. I think Bewitched is her best album though. 1 Quote ♥ Please spell out acronyms, I can’t figure them out anymore. :’ )
