Ashley Pointer | December 13, 2023
"I grew up playing classical music and it's so special to get to play my songs almost in this chamber-like setting," Laufey says in her performance. Accompanied by a string quartet, the singer-songwriter's modern jazz-pop love songs soared at the Tiny Desk, the intimacy of our little corner only heightened its impact.
Laufey's music undeniably bridges the gap between jazz and younger, mainstream audiences coming to the genre. Her sophomore album, Bewitched, broke Spotify's all-time streaming record for a jazz debut ever in the platform's history and resulted in her first Grammy nomination. She opens the set with "From The Start," a bouncy, whimsical tune about unrequited love with a friend, connecting Chet Baker-like scats with charming and playful lyrics. Taking a more melancholic turn into 2021's "Let You Break My Heart Again" and "Promise," her velvety vocals rich with vulnerability dance elegantly with the strings, creating a symphony of emotions. Laufey concludes the set with "California and Me," which she explains was heavily influenced by her receiving her first baby grand and compositions by Liszt and Chopin. This mesmerizing performance is a captivating testament to the power of collaboration and music's ability to evoke raw, unfiltered emotion.

  • I’m 70, and grew up hearing music in a time when it was easy to find original songs, often written by the artists that sang them, that I found enjoyable in many ways: Lyrics telling a relatable story Melodies impossible to forget Harmonies, rythyms, and music riffs that conveyed or sustained the emotion Many such songs. Every year. But for the last 30 or so years, few popular songs have been even close. Hence when you tube recommended this new popular artists’ video to me, I couldn't have been more skeptical. But I was pleasantly surprised. Not only does Laufey sing and play as well many of those I remember, she can also write original songs that I find just as enjoyable as those written 60+ years ago.

  • As someone that obtained a masters in classical vocal performance that now *mostly* listens to rap, I can honestly say that (at least to my knowledge) Laufey is one of the most proficient and talented songwriters I’ve seen in a hot minute. Her nods to composers/older songwriters are put through her own unique creative voice (and her actual singing voice!) in a way that’s hard to find-what could be pastiche, derivative or archaic is just another very worthy addition to a bigger canon of well measures pieces. TL;DR Great stuff!

A refreshing change from the slick and over-produced schlock that passes for Pop Music. Cheers!
