5 Reasons to Listen to Laufey

Dear Hyphenly Readers,

Are you the type of person who organizes playlists by season? Because where we live, the days are getting shorter and colder, and the sky is usually overcast, and listening to music definitely helps. Instead of giving into the grim, we’re heating up a cup of cider and putting on some moody tunes. 

Picture this: retro-modernist beats, expansive production, and endless talent. That’s right, we’re talking about Icelandic-Chinese violinist and singer Laufey. She’s like a mix between Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Rey, and she’s hellbent on making jazz and classical music cool again.

So, here’s 5 reasons to add Laufey to your playlist today:

“My goal is to bring jazz and classical music to my generation through a more accessible road,” Laufey on her musical ambitions [Tattler Asia].

She’s a classically trained pianist and cellist and taught herself how to play guitar.

She’s fluent in Icelandic, Mandarin, and English.

She has her own book club.

She’s always there to get us hyped for the holiday season.

So, what’s our favorite song? It’s ethereal, it captures the feeling of love, and transports you to the set of Ella Enchanted.
