About a year ago when my close friend introduced me to Laufey (pronounced “Lay-vay”), an Icelandic-Chinese singer, I was hesitant. What was the hype around her? I soon learned it: her calming voice, masterful use of classical instruments, and romantic lyrics—all with the goal of introducing jazz and classical music to the younger generations. In the past, Laufey’s soothing vocals beautifully describe various scenes from her life. For instance, her song “Lovesick” describes how the sunlight falls on her lover’s cheek, or when she realizes she’s in love in the middle of the night in her song “While You Were Sleeping.” These songs are often accompanied by sweeping, angelic melodies. It’s these songs that drew me, and likely countless other young people, into her music. In short, I fell in love with Laufey’s songs about falling in love and the sincerity of their delivery.
