The reason behind Laufey's latest album including a classical ballet pause is unexplored.

In the world of music, Laufey is a trailblazer, creating a genre all her own. The multitalented musician, who grew up surrounded by classical music, has released her latest album, "A Matter of Time."

Laufey's musical journey began at a young age, with classical training in piano starting at four and violin at eight, influenced by her mother, a classical violinist. Her grandfather also played a significant role in her development, nurturing her love for music.

The album features a three-minute ballet interlude titled 'Cuckoo Ballet - Interlude.' This piece, co-written by Laufey and producer-songwriter Spencer Stewart, calls to mind the ballet works of Sergei Prokofiev and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It employs classical techniques such as exploring variations on themes from previous works, and references the album title with the recurring motif of a ticking clock and a change in orchestration.

The 'Cuckoo Ballet - Interlude' has already garnered over a million streams on Spotify, reflecting Laufey's growing popularity. This isn't her first taste of viral success; some of her early videos featured her playing cello and singing in a classical-jazz style.

Laufey's music blends classical, jazz, and modern pop techniques, creating a unique sound that is both familiar and innovative. Her performances, such as her cello solo with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at age 15, showcase her cello pedigree and her ability to adapt to various musical styles.

Growing up, Laufey was involved in both figure skating and ballet, which may have influenced the ballet interlude in her new album. Despite no prior context being provided regarding her previous accomplishments or fame, Laufey's talent speaks for itself.

With "A Matter of Time," Laufey continues to push boundaries in the realm of classical music, exploring new avenues and combining traditional techniques with contemporary styles. Her music is a testament to her dedication, talent, and creativity, making her a true trailblazer in the genre she creates.
