Laufey: “Silver Lining” (2025)
“Silver Lining” was the lead single from the third studio album by Icelandic singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Laufey (pronounced LAY-vay).
Seldom does anything this refined and tasteful sniff the pop charts in this country. And, well, “Silver Lining” didn’t.
But each of her albums has outperformed the previous and A Matter of Time went top ten in at least 8 countries including the US.
This peaking popularity seems to be mainly the result of a younger audience discovering her.
The singer says she considers The Great American Songbook her bible. No surprise there if you’ve heard her stuff.
The surprise is her ability to bring lushly-arranged jazz-inspired pop to the younger generation.
Kids these days!
