I feel like my boy George has a serious crush lol. Most of the videos are like unique or crazy pieces, then there's the monthly post of laufey being "heavenly"
i love her vowel shape on "harp." She makes it sound super young and to allow the R sound to swallow her word, yet still makes the word full and present.
It sounds "wrong", but that's what's so cool about it. She does it intentionally for effect. So well done. So cool looking back to when she wrote this and now she performs this at the Grammy's and with whole orchestras.
Her accuracy on all those notes during the scat solo is insane. Even really great singers will flub or blur a few notes when they're doing a complex vocal run. But everything is distinct and pitch perfect.
It's accurate because the notes are premeditated. That's the version you'd hear on the record and on her live performances. On the other hand, most scat solos, especially from the earliest eras of jazz, were made out of improvised imitation of instruments such as saxophone. The 'fumbling' or 'blurred notes' that you mentioned are probably imitated microtones produced by the instrument.
I don't know if you get comments like this often, but you have single handedly saved my band's cover performance of this song that I needed to learn in just 8 hours. The chart helped a ton, and I really appreciate you for covering this beautiful song.
It must have been over a year ago now that George posted a video of her singing Sunny Side of The Street and I was hypnotized by Laufey's voice. Now, she is undoubtedly my favorite musician. I love all of her songs, which I can say about no other artist. Her music has also helped me cope with life and unwind after stressful days. Hearing her music has been life-changing for me, and I'm so glad George introduced us to her.
NICELY DONE! Many technically skilled youtubers can play covers very well but don't write very interesting original songs. That is definitely not the case here. This is a beautifully written bossa nova song with actually interesting lyrics.
As a brazilian, it's always interesting for me seeing people from other countries, especially on the north emisphere, falling in love with bossa nova (u guys remember Tom Jobim with Frank Sinatra, or The Girl from Ipanema right?). It's a shame that even in Brazil bossa nova, or MPB, is not a famous genre anymore. Anyway, she makes it justice. Beautiful playing, singing and super cute. Fly on girl!
I think bossa nova is alive in (Japanese) vgm - young people seem to really like it (not just old people like me). If you look at The Consouls (Australian group) audience which spans a few continents, the fans all really enjoy the bossa tunes eg Galdin Quay, New Wave Bossanova (yes, it's a tautology but the composer is Japanese so we'll forgive him) etc I think for a while people cringed because it became associated with 'elevator music' but the use in vgm has somewhat overcome the stigma!
Oh we will never forget. Not all that many South American performers make a big hit here in the US but we love them regardless. Bebel forever! Down tempo forever!
The rhythm is quite sophisticated , and those are not basic chords by any measure . This was a cutting edge New Jazz syle from the 60s and jazz is not simple lol
1:18 this is so lovely george collier, thank you, and also I am pretty sure that "the" in "from the start" is a c and not a Bb . I shouldn't have mentioned it but here I go, thank you I love your videos it is so good to see music and sheet music with it
This is what pure talent and practice looks like. She hits every note perfectly without any autotune. Also I love the fact that she is bringing back jazz and unique music to this day
Honestly I like this version even more than the official spotify version of the song. There's just something so pure about a guitar and their voice, no need for drums, bass, piano
Just discovered this young lady, and wow, what a voice ! Thanks for Sharing George. (had to edit) At first I thought she was singing to pre-recorded music, but she’s got some real talent, she’s actually playing this instrument and well disciplined, what a balanced person she is. Wow ! Thanks again.
Since hearing Laufey for the first time on George's channel I've gathered some musicians and together we made a cover of her song Valentine, which I gifted to my girlfriend on you guessed it... Valentine's day. Hopefully soon I'll upload it here on RUclips! Much love to George, Laufey and this wonderful community
honestly i discovered laufey a little over a year ago bc of a cello vid george posted and im so glad she's finally receiving the recognition she's always deserved
He’s still GETTING into Laufey, and I can’t blame him. I’ve been holding back from replaying her music over and over because I’ve been scared to get over it. I finally did it and it’s just getting better and better to me.
@@Loammello2Well you're both half right. Bossa nova is a combination of cool jazz and samba (I definitelly knew this and didn't google the answer. I promise! 😉) AFAIK samba and jazz are not very popular in Iceland which makes her even rarer.
Even if George is not really in love with her...I can see the appeal. This is so odd and unique in such a good way it's crazy. The voice, everything is perfect. I've identified 0 areas of opportunity in this performance. Crazy.
I mean, yeah no question. Valentine live at Harpa concert hall is even more so in my opinion. Just a jaw dropping performance. That’s not to mention her live symphony versions…
Please transcribe that one recording of Julian Bream playing jazz. The most famous one. And name the video: for those who say classical musicians can't play jazz
I think I finally get how One-Direction and Justin Bieber fan girls felt hearing their songs. Because even though I know she isn't singing about me, and is way out of my league, I'd still like the song to be about me

yeah kind of falls out of the normal “singing voice” and also on blah blah blah it’s pretty cool imo

This channel introduced me to Laufey and now I'm seeing her on tour later this year... thank you George :)

Never doubt the jazz
I'd look into bossa nova if you liked this one
Yeah this is like Human Nature turnt bossa nova, more than straight jazz... but it's on the jazz spectrum🤣

this song reminds Jobim, which should be ultimate compliment in my opinion for any composer.
I’ve never heard any of laufey’s work, and when she started singing my jaw literally dropped to the floor
Wow. She has such an angelic and different voice. I love it.
She can go sooo low too! And her control is perfect.
@@vinslungur Yes! I wish I could sing like that.
Such a beautiful melody! First time hearing this and I'm mesmerised.
That mouth solo..!!! especially 1:38 jazzy!!!!
HOW IS HER VOICE SO BEAUTIFUL OMG
Some people are just gifted
acoustic guitar and laufey is like hot chocolate infront of a fireplace, it just brings a different kind of comfort that you can't get anywhere else
Yes it warms up your insides :)
thought u were talkin about her looks not her vibe lol
Absolutely heavenly! 💛
Been waiting four decades for this voice. Absolutely amazing talent.
Example how simplicity can be beautiful
The rhythm is quite sophisticated , and those are not basic chords by any measure . This was a cutting edge New Jazz syle from the 60s and jazz is not simple lol
was introduced to laufey by this channel and never been more grateful in my life, she’s insanely talented and i only want the best for her 💗💗
That is some serious soft jazz. Well done.

Such an underrated musician. She has such a talent and set of skills that she almost make you envious of her.
Her vibrato is beautiful. ❤️
as a brazilian, i see what you did here. God bless Bossa Nova
This is so cool, I love her dynamic range toooo
Incredible dude! I got so many chills listening to this! Hugs from Brazil, love you work.
One of my faves, modern female Sinatra with bossa nova tones, Laufey is a queen
Average Icelandic person be like
@@vinslunguriceland is full of amazing musicians like björk, sigur rós and emilíana torrini
her vibrato is the definition of "perfection"
This song reminded me of my love for my father. Things like these slightly remind me of those great days. Thanks George. Thanks Laufey.
Not only do I love Laufey's voice, I love the variety of articulations in her voice.
You can't hide your crush any longer George
This is what pure talent and practice looks like. She hits every note perfectly without any autotune. Also I love the fact that she is bringing back jazz and unique music to this day
She has a beautiful voice
Laufey just has just a beautiful voice...
i think i'm in love
Beautiful music performed by the lovely Laufey. 🗣🎼🎵🎶🎸💖

Heavenly indeed ❤
This is ridiculous.. how beautiful it is
Laufey continuing her one woman attempt to bring back bossa nova.
You can't hate on that sweet bossa nova.
That's pure simplicity and pure joy 👍🏻🤘🏻
Sounds like Walt Disney's OSTs from old old times

I listen to Laufey every day. I go to bed singing her songs in my mind and wake up still singing her songs in my mind. Very addicting.
This will become a standard. I think I may prefer this stripped-down version to the one with the backing band.
Imagine if this popped up in one of Beato's Spotify Top 10 listens. He'd die happy on the spot.
Yes!!!
It’s just a matter of time before he does the Laufey interview.
❤ Live Laugh Laufey ❤
I LOVE HER VOICE IT SOUNDS SO ANGELIC
She is balm for my soul. Her writing, arranging, singing. Just perfect!
This is so... "vibey" if that makes sense. The guitar is so calm, and the singing is just... perfection.
Im awestruck. Your voice is incredibly melodious

such a beautiful and rich natural vibrato, like a warm blanket
I actually discovered laufey through you, so I am really happy for this. Thank youu
Not just the voice. The chord progressions, the voice dynamics, the stops, the rhythm. Everything is splendid!
The whole thing is enchanting, but the scat phrase bar 62 until 65 is my favourite.
honestly i discovered laufey a little over a year ago bc of a cello vid george posted and im so glad she's finally receiving the recognition she's always deserved
George is crushing again
What a voice
This video is literally the one that made me found this gem of a singer
I see he's still not over Laufey 😂😂
Suits me :)
He’s still GETTING into Laufey, and I can’t blame him. I’ve been holding back from replaying her music over and over because I’ve been scared to get over it. I finally did it and it’s just getting better and better to me.
The fact that you transcribed the vocal vamping is just amazing!
Beautiful voice
In answer to the question..... 'hell yes it is!!'
Indeed beautiful.
And I like the music too.
Man , every time I hear her sing I start tearing up , her voice is angelic
I love her voice as well! 😊🥰
Wonderful. I love the way you caress our ears.

The news says that 97% of Heaven experts agree, but I can't tell what's true anymore.
Wonderful song and singer. Saw her do this on Tiny Desk with a string quartet. Absolutely beautiful.

I mean, yeah no question. Valentine live at Harpa concert hall is even more so in my opinion. Just a jaw dropping performance. That’s not to mention her live symphony versions…
Happy to see that four-chord-songs do not need to be boring if you sprinkle some jazz on top of them.
Such strong Bossa Nova vibes from this one, and this is coming from a Brazilian!
yuuuuuup that strumming pattern is classic
THIS IS BOSSA NOVA MY PEOPLE! BEAUTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL! VIVA! VIVA BRASIL!
