Laufey - Typical of Me (2021)

Laufey welcomes us into a flagrant world of warm and classically stylised vocals against flecks of the modern on EP, Typical of Me. Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter Laufey has really made the most of lockdown. Over the last year she’s created music that’s spread far and wide, going viral on social media and picking up a few famous fans along the way.

Being inspired by a love of classical and jazz music at a young age but also being influenced by more modern sounds, Laufey’s debut EP Typical of Me allows both worlds to collide in the most pleasing way.

Laufey has been doing this for years and should be older than her tender age of 21. To have the skill and dexterity to create tracks with such honesty, prettiness and intoxicating warmth on a debut EP is impressive. The wonderful thing is it just feels as though Laufey is getting started and with more time she will only get better. Typical of Me is an extremely confident debut from an artist that has nowhere to go but up.
