Info for A Matter of Time: The Final Hour (Deluxe)

Laufey releases "A Matter of Time: The Final Hour", a new Deluxe Edition of her GRAMMY®-winning album. Alongside the announcement comes brand new track ‘How I Get’, the first taste of four previously unreleased songs set to feature on the expanded record.

Produced with longtime collaborator Spencer Stewart and GRAMMY®-winning producer Aaron Dessner, the deluxe edition builds on an album that has already defined a landmark chapter in Laufey’s career. A Matter of Time took home Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th GRAMMY® Awards earlier this year, her second win in the category following 2024’s Bewitched, which made her the youngest artist to receive the honour.

‘How I Get’ leans into emotional contradiction. Laufey describes the track as exploring the tension between discipline and surrender, that moment where self-control quietly unravels in the presence of one particular person. Sonically, it sits comfortably within her jazz- and classical-infused pop world, pairing sweeping melody with her signature lyrical intimacy. It’s poised, romantic and slightly self-aware, a combination she’s made entirely her own.

Originally released in August, A Matter of Time debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and reached No. 1 on the Jazz Albums chart, where it continues to sit within the top 10. The deluxe edition retains the original 15 tracks and adds four new songs, further expanding a project centred on vulnerability, “real love” and emotional growth.

Laufey
"As a musician, my goal is to bring jazz and classical music to my generation through a more accessible road,” declares the composer, singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey. In 2022, the Icelandic-Chinese artist’s trailblazing approach paid off, with a performance on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! in support of her first full-length Everything I Know About Love, sold out tours of North America, Asia, and Australia, and she was the most streamed jazz artist of the year on Spotify.

The Los Angeles-based Laufey (pronounced lāy-vāy) continued her story by writing and recording Bewitched, her second album. Inspired by jazz greats and classical masters while possessing a point of view that could only be conveyed by a 21st-century twentysomething, Bewitched represents an expansion of Laufey’s sonic palette. Tracks like the breezy bossa nova cut “From the Start” and the smoldering string-assisted ballad “Promise” have classic songcraft and intricate arrangements that make them feel instantly timeless, while Laufey’s conversational lyrics give her music a relatability to the next generation of jazz and classical aficionados.

Laufey’s self-assured musicianship and deeply felt lyrics take the idea of “classic” music, whether it’s slotted as classical or jazz—or even chart-topping pop—and humanize it, creating a deep-seated connection with listeners that goes deeper than hitting “play” on a streaming service. “There are very few examples of artists who are onstage with an orchestra one day and making TikToks the next,” she notes dryly. Laufey’s straddling of those two worlds has put her in a singular place across music, and with Bewitched, she’s ready to ascend to the next level.

This album contains no booklet.
