Unveiled: Grammy-winning artist Laufey reveals the mystery behind chart-topping hits

In the vibrant world of music, Laufey continues to stand out as a unique talent, blending Jazz with classical, bossanova, and pop elements in her latest album, A Matter of Time. The Grammy Award-winning singer, often referred to as a "Gen Z jazz icon," has been making waves in the industry with her distinctive sound.

Recording her album at the famed Electric Lady Studios in New York, a venue once graced by the legendary Jimi Hendrix, Laufey found the perfect environment to shift her music from jazz preservation towards a more vulnerable, emotionally expressive style. This change in direction allowed her to showcase complex and imperfect aspects of herself, creating a sound that balances emotional depth with broader influences.

Laufey collaborated with producers Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner to develop this unique sound, and the result is an album that feels honest to her artistry. The musician expressed that she has never believed in herself more, and this self-confidence is evident in the music she created at the Electric Lady Studios.

The work environment at the studio played a critical role in shaping Laufey's work on her album. She found the music she was making particularly meaningful during a time when she was unsure about the direction of her work. The studio, steeped in history and creativity, seemed to inspire her to push boundaries and explore new territories in her music.

Despite being often labelled as the face of current Jazz, Laufey does not see herself in this role. She prefers not to be confined to one genre, stating that she doesn't like putting herself in a box, even if it is a Jazz box. Laufey continues to stick to her unique style, which she believes is what makes her stand out.

Laufey's album, A Matter of Time, is a testament to her dedication to creating art that is true to herself. She mentioned Samara Joy as an amazing artist in the Jazz genre, showing respect for her peers while remaining focused on her own path. With this album, Laufey has once again proven that she is a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.
