Her albums showcase impeccable string sections, as heard in songs like “Haunted” and “Dear Soulmate”. Her mesmerizing performance style captures heartbreak and the ups and downs of love, speaking to fans globally.
Her journey, remarkable for her mere age, testifies to her unconditional love for music and her immense talent. As this gifted vocalist continues to astound and delight, Laufey may just rewire the fabric of what we consider vintage and revitalize classic music for modern ears.
