Praise for Laufey & Typical of Me: "Laufey evokes Roberta Flack oldies and early Tracey Thorne on ‘I Wish You Love’...Her fluid guitar playing pushes the track towards bossa nova, while she buttresses her tender lead with long lines of sighing backing vocals that bring to mind the Jordanaires." - Rolling Stone “rising Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey’s new single [‘Best Friend’] lovingly recounts her most special relationship with a casual jazziness...that invites the listener into the room with her and her BFF.” - Billboard  “To associate jazz with dingy lighting, wooden furniture in smoky bars with fading wallpaper is normal, but Laufey is moving the genre in a new direction, and her blend of captivating melody, emotive vocals and romantic storytelling inspires audiences” - Clash “The lo-fi vibe builds to a cornucopia of layered vocals, reverb-drenched piano and an ever-present, jazz-y guitar line that is a testament to Laufey’s effortless songwriting abilities” - Guitar World "Nostalgic and soothing, this short set primes the young artist as one to watch, showcasing her technical prowess and innate charm...Every song on Typical of Me is a gem, brimming with potential and the insight of an artist twice her age."- AllMusic

Twenty-one year old Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter, musician, cellist and pianist Laufey has had a whirlwind of a year. Her breakout single “Street By Street” earned her a big social following, hit #1 on Icelandic Radio, her own new music series on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Sounds, the distinction of Best New Artist at the Iceland Music Awards, and a big following that includes fans like Billie Eilish, Willow Smith, dodie, and more. All of this took place before her debut EP entitled Typical of Me was even dropped this Spring, and has since been streamed over 10 million times across all platforms. Since, her headline shows in NYC, Los Angeles, and London sold out in a matter of hours, she performed with Lake Street Dive, and even collaborated with London’s premier orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra, on a single entitled “Let You Break My Heart Again.” Today, Laufey announces another exciting collaboration, this time in partnership with Warner Records artist Adam Melchor. Co-written by the two musicians, “Love Flew Away” seamlessly blends the talent of both Laufey and Melchor in a gorgeous ballad. Laufey says, “Adam has been one of my greatest musical idols in the past few years so it’s an incredible honor to release this song with him. Writing with Adam was so much fun and we found that we had similar experiences with the pain of long distance love - which we ultimately wrote the song about.” Melchor continues, “The first time I heard Laufey’s voice, I instantly knew I needed to sing with her. She came to my house one day and we just talked for about 7 hours and by the end we found we had so many things in common, relationship-wise. I showed her this idea that I had after leaving the person I had been seeing overseas, and how sometimes love feels like it flies away. She took the idea to the next level and we knew it would be incredibly powerful as a duet.” Listen to the song now HERE.
