Laufey actually sounds Live equally as good as her studio recordings, if not, even better! ❤
For the real artists, it's always better live and is supposed to be.
Dumb comparison its an insult to an artist to compare a live performance to a recording its supposed to be different and better dum dum
@@anthonytaylor7928 Its not a dumb comparison, lots of artists don't sound as good when they sing live. Saying Laufey actually sounds better Live than her recordings, is a compliment.
@@cyc20976 Yes its a dumb comparison plain and simple if ur an artist ur supposed to be better in a live performance thats what the greats do in recording they can tweak it the way they want to make an artist sound good so yes it's dumb and an insult to a true musician so stop saying it
@@anthonytaylor7928 first of all you obviously don't know what the heck you are talking about. if you know laufey recordings, she does it with live musicians and instruments and even entire orchestras, so her recordings should be the same as live performances. but live performance have that extra little depth if you do it right, that studio recordings doesn't have, even if you don't tweak it. second of all, its not guaranteed that a musician can give the same quality with live performances, you contradict yourself, if all the greats tweak their performances in a studio, then how can they reproduce that same quality live? lmao 😂😂😂 the point was that Laufey is as good as the studio recordings and even better!
I love how she really explores her lower vocal register. She has a powerful and elegant voice, and I'm VERY much looking forward to watching her progress and mature as a performer...
Really impressive. Unique voice. Clever internal rhythms on her guitar. A true artist.
She’s one of the most talented artists today, she’s awesome!
She’s very nice and has a great sound, but one of the most talented? No, respectfully disagree. I wish her all the success in the world but if you wanna talk about talent and the most talented artists, you have to look at people like Jacob Collier.
@@TubaTones ffair enough brotha, but jacob collier is not one of us, i will offer him to the aliens if those grays will visit the earth. Jacob is damn fcking GENIUS. But props to laufey, her voice sends me to my hometown with so many positive emotions
@@jesrelltejada5106 I agree, she’s really good and Jacob should be Earth’s ambassador to the galaxy.
@@TubaTonesIn terms of musical technicality and complexity, Jacob Collier is a clear genius. But you don't see people streaming his music everywhere like you do with Laufey. Laufey is talented, but her real talent lies in her ability to use music to connect with others and reach and influence the media, even though her music is not as technically complex, or as popular as pop or other mainstream genres. In that sense, she is pretty damn talented.
@@qryu I agree, her music seems to target a much wider audience than Jacob’s, which as a professional musician myself, boggles the mind. Nonetheless, she’s making great strides and I wish her all the best. She is talented, that’s for sure, but one of the most talented, not in my opinion. Does her music reach lots of people, yes, undeniably. Do I wish someone like Jacob C had the same “reach”, definitely.
Laufey is living proof that there is hope for the future, musically, anyway.
목소리에 빠져서 찾아듣게됐는데 목소리만 좋은게 아니였구나 대단하네요
Perhaps it’s not the music or voice that you see and hear, but the soul that is so freely shared. Truly authentic.
Caught her Grammys performance and wow is she talented!!
her dynamic and vibrato is immaculateeeee
I found laufey in 2019 when she released her first music. Since then she's everything to me, her voice just flow so deeply and emotionally.
no other artist has ever given me the comfort that laufey brings
Can’t contain my proudness of hearing such talented and young artist playing a bossa nova so nicely and so close to what Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim originally architected, in 1958. Cheers.
Yeah for sure , she is so gifted, the way she's able to mix bossa nova and jazz , that's Genius
her music makes my heart fill full, that's so rare these days for me at least
"Promise" is one of those stop-you-in-your-tracks songs I'd heard when I was out in the world but didn't think to track down. Pleasant surprise for this to pop up so I can enjoy it "live"! Thanks KEXP!
Had to do a double take and immediately listen to this one over again. Wow - stellar voice and style.
god she’s a gift
Laufey is a gift. There is no one else like her today. Beautiful soul.
She’s beautiful and talented! Sweet! 😮😊
What a discovery!
Live Love Laufey ❤❤❤
day 2...listening again Laufey's performance... what a great artist ! "Bewitched" got me stuck on her voice and guitar playing , then as i closed my eyes, my feet left the ground... .Wow ! Good Medecine ! 🌿💚
Laufey is so lovely
her music is so good! big props to the i get viewer amazing questions and back and forth!!
Thank you KEXP 🌟🌈 Love from France 💙
Promise get's me every time. so much emotion.
She is wonderful Jazz singer!!
So excited to have discovered this amazing talent.
I’d love her to do a collab with Aurora. I feel like they could be most romantically funny and lighthearted supergroup with very, very interesting music
WOW ! I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY !!!
She’s one of the best artists I’ve seen live. Would highly recommend if you can get a ticket.
Awesome all around for this show! Really enjoyable
Enjoyed this concert and interview with Laufey very much! She is a tremendously talented musician/composer/vocal artist. She is a giving the world a special and unique gift with her beautiful music.
Laufey just made "Promise" even sadder when she sang much louder than the original! Aside from "Fragile," this song made me stop in my tracks and start singing. This is DEFINITELY the live singing I've been wishing to see! Thanks much, KEXP and Laufey
Vamos Laufey carajo 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Absolutely fantastic songs from my favorite singer, along with an incredible interview. I'm overjoyed to have come across this video!
"It hurts to be something ... It's worse to be nothing with you"
Thank God for independent Radio!! They would never play this on Corporate FM Radio 📻. It’s too good! And they are too corrupt. Thanks! 😊
Reminds me of my mom singing me a lullaby. ❤❤❤
Sounds pretty much like a singer from Brasil! She plays the Bossa Nova very well! Love it!
After I started the video I couldn’t stop
Love it
laufey's smile is so contagious
Found Laufey last year and shared with someone who's also a twin and I hope that person still gets a few butterflies like I do every time I hear Laufey's incredible voice.
her voice is strong and beautiful, she's enchanting
Plz I need more live video of her❤❤
So gooood!
Love it!
Her voice is amazing ❤
awesome. ... just awesome..
2:25 she sings some Charlie Parker Donna Lee extract, that s cool.
Thank you for this amazing recording. She's awesome.
Her voice is undeniable a Masterpiece 🎶❤🎶
So amazing. Can't wait to see her live!
Precioso
i will never not cry listening to laufey man. 😂😔
oh really mitch to U for Love song..
If there is heaven, i would imagine it would sound or feels like this.
SHE'S SO COOL!! I'M GONNA DIEEEE
Amazing how good this is!!! I am overwhelmed. Never heard of Laufey before as the swede I am. What a voice!
Awesome
NICE ❤❤❤
Wow very nice this is beautiful 👏
Amazing.
Every performance she gives always feels as though she is truly singing from the heart. I love this so much about Laufey. I don't know how it's possible to perform even better live, but she always does it. I've gotten to see her twice so far, once in an intimate little venue (Troubadour) and once with the LA Phil, and both times I couldn't help but well up with tears. Her music is so acoustic, and I feel like it really highlights the beauty of her composition, her lyricism, and of course her gently powerful voice. It so often feels like she's singing like a mother singing a lullaby to her children...it's truly so enchanting. Thanks for sharing your stories with us, Laufey
Awesome! No words
sounds like a dream :) thank you!
She’s bewitched me!!
Laufey es de las pocas artistas que suenan igual de bien (o mejor) en vivo y en estudio. Escucharla te transporta totalmente a otro lugar.
I started followinh Her since her first KEXP performance. ❤

Only her voice and one instrument is enough to fill my heart. That is rare.
