Laufey is Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, a Reykjavík singer-songwriter born in 1999 who makes old-fashioned romance sound brand new, folding jazz pop and classical music into songs that swoon and sigh without a trace of irony. She was a cello soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra at 15, reached the final of Ísland Got Talent and the semifinals of The Voice Iceland, and started releasing music in 2020. By 2021 she had put out the Typical of Me EP and graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, and her debut album, Everything I Know About Love, followed in 2022.
Bewitched (2023) is where she broke wide open: "From The Start" is a light-footed, swooning single, and the album took the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2024.
A Matter of Time (2025) doubled down with "Lover Girl", "Silver Lining" and "Tough Luck", lush and a little more daring in its arrangements, and won her the same Grammy a second time.
