Laufey won the GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th GRAMMY Awards for her latest album, A Matter of Time, released last August. An Icelandic-born, Los Angeles-based new-generation singer-songwriter who has attracted attention from around the world with her new-classical charm, this deluxe edition of her GRAMMY-winning album adds new songs: A Matter of Time: The Final Hour.
A Matter of Time was produced with Laufey's long-time collaborator Spencer Stewart, as well as GRAMMY Award-winning artist Aaron Dessner, who has worked with Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. Throughout the album, it depicts Laufey experiencing "true love" in various ways, accepting the anxiety and her own vulnerability that arise in the process, and undergoing an emotional rebirth. This deluxe edition of the album will include four previously unreleased new songs, including the pre-released track "How I Get". In addition, this watercolor vinyl will come with a 16-page booklet.
Laufey says about "How I Get": "I'm disciplined, grounded, and in control of myself in every aspect of my life, yet I can't help but lose that control in front of just one person. The song is about that contrast." "I thought I was keeping my composure, but before I knew it, I was chasing a high and justifying actions I had sworn I would never fall into... but when I'm with that person, it becomes "me". "She says.
At the 68th GRAMMY Awards earlier this month, Laufey made history by winning the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album Award for the second consecutive year, following 2024's Bewitched. Her award-winning album, A Matter of Time, debuted at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No. 1 on the Jazz Album chart, and is still maintaining a top 10 position, earning worldwide acclaim. It is also fresh in our memories that she was awarded the prestigious Order of the Falcon by the President of Iceland in January this year. Currently, Laufey is on the biggest European tour of her career, visiting large venues such as London's O2, Paris's Adidas Arena, and Dublin's 3Arena. Following her sold-out North American tour last year, which included shows at Madison Square Garden and Crypto.com Arena, shows are already selling out rapidly. With the release of this deluxe edition, Laufey is expected to soar even higher. Keep your eyes on her!

Laufey’s deluxe album, A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, is the closing chapter of her
beautiful, critically acclaimed, and GRAMMY® Award-winning third album, A Matter of Time.
With four new songs, this 19-track deluxe album is an introspection about learning to live
with one’s anxieties — embracing uncertainty, accepting the passage of time, and finding
calm after the storm.
