Laufey, the superstar of the jazz we met for its success ‘from the start’, publishes new album on August 22, ‘A Matter of Time’. Aaron Dessner of The National has co-produced with Spencer Stewart this third work by the Icelandic singer, who has presented with a single of pop-rock and jazz airs, ‘Tough Luck’, and then with a second as pizpireto as ‘Lover Girl’, which we chose as a song of the day.
‘Lover Girl’ can be Laufey’s most summer production, so much that his ufanos arrangements and rhythms are inspired by the cocktail jazz and the bossa nova of the 60. The strings played in Pizzicato remind the mythical ‘Holiday for Strings’ (1942) by David Rose; The cheerful samba of percusions, to Carlos Jobim. In the world ‘Lover Girl’ the sky is blue and life is beautiful.
And love is in the air. ‘Lover Girl’ is a song that distills pure crush, portraying how love makes us lose control. “The independent girl in me is no longer anywhere,” Laufey confesses. “What a shame that I can’t expect another day without seeing you,” he admits, while comparing his condition with an “irremediable fever” that even causes “hallucinations.” ‘Lover Girl’ is pure “drinking water” for this love colocon.
