A Rising Star’s Trajectory

Laufey, born Laufey Lín Jónsdóttir, has rapidly ascended the music scene, captivating audiences with her sophisticated arrangements and emotionally resonant lyrics. Her music draws heavily from classic jazz standards and bossa nova, yet feels distinctly modern and relatable, particularly to a younger generation. A Matter Of Time, released in 2025, showcased her exceptional vocal talent and songwriting prowess, earning her widespread recognition and a dedicated fanbase. The album’s success culminated in a Grammy Award, solidifying her position as a major force in contemporary music.

The new deluxe edition will feature four additional tracks, offering fans a deeper dive into Laufey’s artistic vision. The first single released from A Matter Of Time: The Final Hour, “How I Get,” provides a glimpse into the emotional complexities explored within the album. Laufey describes the song as a reflection on the internal conflict between self-control and the irresistible pull of a particular person, a sentiment many listeners will likely find relatable.

“‘How I Get’ is about the contrast between being disciplined, grounded and in control in every area of my life, except when it comes to one person,” Laufey shared in a statement. “It explores that unsettling shift where I suddenly find myself chasing the rush and justifying behavior I swore I’d never fall into, because with them, that’s just how I get.”

But what is it about Laufey’s music that resonates so deeply with listeners? Is it her ability to tap into universal emotions with such honesty and vulnerability, or is it the timeless quality of her musical arrangements? Her success suggests a potent combination of both.

Exploring the New Single: “How I Get”

“How I Get” is a masterclass in understated emotion. The song’s delicate instrumentation and Laufey’s nuanced vocals create an atmosphere of intimacy and introspection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with conflicting desires, torn between their rational self and the intoxicating allure of another person. The song’s honesty and vulnerability are particularly striking, offering a refreshing contrast to the often-superficial nature of contemporary pop music.
