- Iceland’s top streaming artist isn’t Björk or Sigur Rós - it’s Laufey. The 25-year-old singer-songwriter is redefining jazz for Gen Z, and this year, she won the Grammy for best traditional pop vocal album. Laufey sits down with Tom in studio to talk about her meteoric rise, falling in love with the cello, and what it’s like being called Gen Z’s jazz icon.

Love watching Laufey interviews. She’s a breath of fresh air to this industry!
''Do you want your music to sound old?''
Laufey: ''Old no, timeless, yes.''
QUICK WITH IT! Can't be grilled!
listening to her speak is so therapeutic
I am from Brazil and I am so proud that brazillian music is part of her life because her dad enjoys it.
I am amazed by the fact that brazillian good music (Bossa Nova/MPB) is capable of going so far, be a part of people's life and inspire them across the world.
Your music inspire me, Laufey. I love love love to hear you sing ♡
What a lovely human. Confident, authentic. Bravo. I will be looking up her music!
Layvay is the most interesting young artist I’ve ever seen…totally authentic..Fresh with an amazing quiet,beautiful charisma!
Wonderful interview! It’s great seeing both geeking out, from their respective musical backgrounds, and hearing about the things that drive Laufey’s artistry.
I’m particularly struck by the unique combination of youthfulness and sincerity that she displays: eg how through her music her audience can discover a concert hall for the first time and the eloquent way she contrasted “old” vs”timeless”.
I’m lucky to have scored some tickets to an upcoming stop of her World Tour in Belgium. I’m sure it will be an amazing gig! And thanks again Tom for sharing this great interview.
She's very well spoken in explaining her music. Respect her discography even more ❤
She handled this interview with grace. Love you Laufey! x
She's so sweet n soft spoken I love her sm!! I went to her Massey Hall show a while ago and it was SO nice
Very impressed by the interview! Laufey is phenomenal, and the questions were as well
A great interview of an interesting, brilliant and well-spoken young woman! Bravo! (But I missed your usual, "How are ya?"
Never get tired of her wisdom ❤
fantastic interview, thkU tom, LvLaufey❤❤❤
Lovely interview
21:04 Great Answer
One will immediately notice that she is very well spoken. Well educated, self confident and quit talented.
im so eternally grateful for her music...
Hey Tom , I am sure glad my tax payers money is being put to good use. I love your interviews that are not the usual superficial drivel that passes for journalism in many places. If it was not for you I would have no idea of such interesting, thoughtful, and truly talented artists in our world. Wow she is a power house of talent. I thought it was a little funny when you said you come from a small isolated island in the North Atlantic, same with her, but maybe a little more isolated. As regards to some of your critics. I say if you are an typical example of a Newfoundland journalist, I for one would like to see more of you fellas. Keep on Keeping on Tom.
Thx for reminding me how great u r as an interviewer Tom ❤
A friend of ours played with her on the Tonight Show last week, so we tuned into the RUclips video. What struck me was that her voice's vibrato reminded me of Ella Fitzgerald... Now I know why!
She sounds, looks, and feels like a good music school product.
Such an old soul with a sweet heart 🫶🫶
Q took some parts of the interview and put it on NPR which was awesome
these interviews are the best
I LOVE YOU LAUFEY
Coming concert in Singapore was sold out!
Laufey is such an amazingly beautiful, talented and intelligent young lady! She also has other attributes that are too numerous to mention! I'm so glad that the younger generations are picking up the musical torch and carrying forward with all this passion, devotion, determination and talent!
I love all types of music! I'm into different genres of music as well as different styles from every era you can think of!
I listen to performers like Jackie Evancho, the group Shut Up & Kiss Me from Romania! That group has a collection of very talented singers and musicians that I would call true Superstars! Megan Nicole, Tiffany Alvord, Connie Talbot, Emily Linge, and countless other young talents! I think there's still hope for the younger generations such as the Gen Z ers, Gen Alphas, and whatever follows!
God bless all of you, and I'm looking forward to the music that's yet to be! Bye, be safe and take care!
i love her so much
Laufey is so wonderful! But it's interesting the way that Samara Joy is often left out of the "mainstream" Gen-Z Jazz conversation, even though she is a 2 x Grammy Winner.
Laufey sold out the Hollywood Bowl! So far just her and Joni Mitchell have sold out their shows this season.
Joni still performs? Anyway nice juxtaposition..but always compare her to Ella Fitzgerald
@@bobski7032 Joni played the Bowl last October with Brandi Carlile after playing The Gorge earlier last summer. This October Joni is headlining two Hollywood Bowl concerts. Both sold out in minutes. As of the beginning of May Laufey and Joni were the only artists to sell out The Bowl. Bob Dylan with Willie Nelson hadn't, James Taylor hadn't and Neil Young And Crazy Horse hadn't.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
So. Much. Glazing.
cry about it
Good!
4:13 the 40h/day LingLing is strong in this one ❤
