From her debut album Everything I Know About Love to Bewitched: The Goddess Edition, Laufey takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster through every song. The Icelandic singer-songwriter has captured hearts around the world with her signature blend of jazz-inspired pop.

Laufey has a gift for transforming her personal journey, emotions, and everyday moments into timeless melodies that resonate deeply. Her popularity soared with the release of From The Start, which has now amassed over 55 million views on YouTube—a testament to the universal appeal of her sound.

Listening to her music feels like stepping into a dream. Each track is a mix of falling in love, feeling lost, holding onto hope, and everything in between. Whether you’re a hopeless romantic or just love beautifully written music, here are some songs from her discography that I highly recommend:

Everything I Know About Love

Her song ‘Valentine’ has become one of her popular releases in 2022. The song expresses the unfamiliar feeling of falling in love for the first time. Moreover, ‘Falling Behind’ concludes the fear of missing out in terms of love, longing to find romance and someone to call her own, but would that significant other handle someone ‘Fragile?’ 

Bewitched 

“Keep on going with your silly dreams.”

‘Letter To My 13-Year-Old Self’ is one of Laufey’s most heartfelt tracks—a love letter to her younger self that inspires listeners to reflect, heal, and appreciate how far they’ve come.

When emotions run high, especially during retrograde, ‘Promise’ is the perfect companion. It tells the story of holding back from reaching out to someone from the past—a quiet reminder that sometimes, keeping a promise to yourself is the first step toward moving on.

Bewitched: The Goddess Edition

Have you ever smiled while scooping rice by just thinking of them? Falling in love often makes us do foolish things without realizing it. 

‘While You Were Sleeping’ perfectly captures that feeling. But love isn’t all sparkles and rainbows; sometimes, it brings uncertainty. ‘Lovesick’ explores the fear of being left behind in a relationship, pouring love into someone while overthinking and drowning in a sea of melancholy.

In addition to her albums, Laufey’s latest release, ‘Silver Lining,’ showcases a ride-or-die type of love that’s raw and unwavering.

These albums are worth a listen! Laufey’s unique ability to tell stories through music is something truly special. Plus, she’s collaborated with a variety of talented artists like Beabadoobee, grentperez, Stephen Sanchez, and more.
