Laufey is back with another tearjerker—and this time, she’s wearing her heart fully on her sleeve.
The GRAMMY®-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist just released her newest single, “Lover Girl,” a tender track that perfectly captures the longing and quiet ache of missing someone you love. Known for turning personal emotions into elegant jazz-pop gems, Laufey once again blends delicate strings, soft piano, and her signature warm vocals into something that feels both timeless and incredibly real.
“The hardest part of loving someone is being away from them,” Laufey shares. “This is that story.”
At just 25, Laufey has carved out her own lane—merging classical and jazz influences with relatable, heart-on-sleeve storytelling. If Everything I Know About Love was about finding your footing, and Bewitched was a deep dive into young romance, her upcoming album A Matter of Time promises to go even deeper. It’s Laufey like you’ve never heard her before: more daring, more honest, and more emotionally raw.
Out this August 22, A Matter of Time is her most adventurous record yet. Produced with longtime collaborator Spencer Stewart and joined this time by Aaron Dessner (yes, the same one who’s worked with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran), the album steps outside of expectations. Laufey leans into vulnerability, questioning love and identity while still wrapping it all in the dreamy, vintage warmth her fans adore.
She says it best: “People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories, and romantic music. This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.”
With “Lover Girl”, she does exactly that—and it lands with a quiet power that’s impossible to ignore.
