Laufey has captivated a generation with virtuosic songs of love and self-discovery by manifesting her vision of jazz and classical-infused pop music. An artist who pours her life experiences into her work, she infused 2022’s Everything I Know About Love with coming-of-age tales revolving around leaving home, and for Bewitched (2023) she dove headlong into young love, earning a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album along the way.

Following up last month with a second Grammy Award for 2025’s A Matter Of Time, Laufey forges her singular version of pop music — one still rooted in her beloved influences, but which forgoes any strict standards or rules. The record finds Laufey at her most daring and 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 your most vulnerable and anxious.
