Los Angeles- Icelandic Chinese artist Laufey was long before the world was recognized worldwide for her neoclassical jazz-meat-pop music, she was a student who was responding to a familiar year book: “Where do you see yourself in 10 years?”
Answer her answer: Go to America, sign a record deal and win a grammy. The 26 -year -old has done all three.
“I must have been very confident of writing that because I remember being a very distant -like thing,” the composer gave birth to Laufe Lin Jonesdontir.
They are not just her achievements: she collaborates with Barbara Streesand, shares the stage with Hazier, Noah Kahan and Los Angeles Philharmanic. An unexpected non -unnatural albums for contemporary pop rules, “A Matt of Time” on Friday, draws inspiration from classical and Bosa Nova Sounds, along with the country and Icelandic folk music.
“My final goal is to present young audiences for Jazz music, to classical music, so that instruments can be encouraged to learn and find their sound.”
In a recent interview, Lafe discussed his new album, embrace anger on records, worked with his twin sister and more. The reactions are edited for clarity and brevity.
Laufey: I knew that I wanted the album as a central theme. I was just thrilling that this is the same thing that humans have no control, and sometimes we want to move and sometimes we want to slow down, but eventually it is out of our control. And something about me is romantic.
Now a small meaning of this is that it is basically stopping my soul in the world and stopping my soul a lover. And this is like this, “Once upon a time you know everything about me.”
Laufey: Surely. I think I was never allowed to embrace anger. I was a very good baby. I was very humble and very calm. I used it as a way to show that you could be angry, and rather, to show that you can be a soft, spoken person while disturbing anger.
I think the understanding of women and characters has been like one or the other. She is like this, she is a crazy woman, she is a soft, cute woman. Like, we are doing everything.
This is just the most independent I have been. I was not following any kind of compass that I was not trying to make anything as education. I was just making music from the heart. I just contacted with a lot of confidence, even though the album was learning about anxiety and on my own and insecurity and confusion. And it is exploiting the feelings that I probably did not dare to tap first. It is most convinced that I have been, because I don’t think I would be confident to exclude music in this album.
Laufey: This is very special. we do everything together. For example, she does everything, too much, – apart from music, in addition to making literal music – her hands.
All merchants, all this is his. The album includes all creative, eg music videos, everything – that is such a part of the project. And then she really plays violin on some songs. I know a lot of artists who talk about how it can be quite alone, but I have never been really alone. For example, I have always done this with my sister.
Laufey: I grew up in a very, very different, eg, homogeneous Icelandic community. I did not see people who looked like me every day. I saw my mother, it was this. And I think I saw my equal twin sister, who looked exactly like me. But it is so powerful, looking at someone who looks like you, which you can see.
I already see more representation, but still have to travel such a long way. I am still a half white Asian woman, you know? And I do not want young Asian women to see and see all the stars in front of them, either half-white, because what kind of message is it sending? So, I do not know. Anything I can raise voice, create those communities, and strengthen young Asian artists to speak, such as, eg, at the center of my philosophy.
Laufey: I would like to score a film or a theme song for a film, preferably a James Bond Theme song, because it, eg, is my dream. But it is difficult to say because I have closed all those simple things-many are big, but tick-capable people. I hope I am still making music and I still hope that I love it.
