Thank you.

[@cyc20976]

Laufey actually sounds Live equally as good as her studio recordings, if not, even better! ❤

[@aung1406]

For the real artists, it's always better live and is supposed to be.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Dumb comparison its an insult to an artist to compare a live performance to a recording its supposed to be different and better dum dum

[@cyc20976]

@@anthonytaylor7928 Its not a dumb comparison, lots of artists don't sound as good when they sing live. Saying Laufey actually sounds better Live than her recordings, is a compliment.

[@anthonytaylor7928]

@@cyc20976 Yes its a dumb comparison plain and simple if ur an artist ur supposed to be better in a live performance thats what the greats do in recording they can tweak it the way they want to make an artist sound good so yes it's dumb and an insult to a true musician so stop saying it

[@cyc20976]

@@anthonytaylor7928 first of all you obviously don't know what the heck you are talking about. if you know laufey recordings, she does it with live musicians and instruments and even entire orchestras, so her recordings should be the same as live performances. but live performance have that extra little depth if you do it right, that studio recordings doesn't have, even if you don't tweak it. second of all, its not guaranteed that a musician can give the same quality with live performances, you contradict yourself, if all the greats tweak their performances in a studio, then how can they reproduce that same quality live? lmao 😂😂😂 the point was that Laufey is as good as the studio recordings and even better!

[@alexmalch]

She’s one of the most talented artists today, she’s awesome!

[@TubaTones]

She’s very nice and has a great sound, but one of the most talented? No, respectfully disagree. I wish her all the success in the world but if you wanna talk about talent and the most talented artists, you have to look at people like Jacob Collier.

[@jesrelltejada5106]

@@TubaTones ffair enough brotha, but jacob collier is not one of us, i will offer him to the aliens if those grays will visit the earth. Jacob is damn fcking GENIUS. But props to laufey, her voice sends me to my hometown with so many positive emotions

[@TubaTones]

@@jesrelltejada5106 I agree, she’s really good and Jacob should be Earth’s ambassador to the galaxy.

[@qryu]

​@@TubaTonesIn terms of musical technicality and complexity, Jacob Collier is a clear genius. But you don't see people streaming his music everywhere like you do with Laufey. Laufey is talented, but her real talent lies in her ability to use music to connect with others and reach and influence the media, even though her music is not as technically complex, or as popular as pop or other mainstream genres. In that sense, she is pretty damn talented.

[@TubaTones]

@@qryu I agree, her music seems to target a much wider audience than Jacob’s, which as a professional musician myself, boggles the mind. Nonetheless, she’s making great strides and I wish her all the best. She is talented, that’s for sure, but one of the most talented, not in my opinion. Does her music reach lots of people, yes, undeniably. Do I wish someone like Jacob C had the same “reach”, definitely.

[@stereodreamer23]

I love how she really explores her lower vocal register. She has a powerful and elegant voice, and I'm VERY much looking forward to watching her progress and mature as a performer...

[@davesaltzman1390]

Really impressive. Unique voice. Clever internal rhythms on her guitar. A true artist.

[@sjbang5764]

Laufey is living proof that there is hope for the future, musically, anyway.

[@winterlilith]

Living proof of the hope of music industry ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Muxik4k]

I was tired of non sense rap or hip hop, reggaeton

[@jinnie31_]

Can we talked about the interviewer for a sec?? It’s my first time listening to her but I’m a big Laufey fan, and she’s so informed and polite with her questions, great job!!

[@불다람쥐-u7j]

목소리에 빠져서 찾아듣게됐는데 목소리만 좋은게 아니였구나 대단하네요

[@pavitoalmahmud2717]

Agreed

[@msaldate]

Caught her Grammys performance and wow is she talented!!

[@un_ound]

god she’s a gift

[@robertoligeiro]

Can’t contain my proudness of hearing such talented and young artist playing a bossa nova so nicely and so close to what Joao Gilberto and Tom Jobim originally architected, in 1958. Cheers.

[@didyluiz1572]

Yeah for sure , she is so gifted, the way she's able to mix bossa nova and jazz , that's Genius

[@davidyohalem629]

She is excellent, but architect is not a verb.

[@BLUEMOONinDECEMBER2]

These acoustic versions are truly exquisite and beautifully captured 💕😍!! Thank you LAUFEY! Your music is healing so many generations who are lucky to have listened to you ❤!!

[@tomsmock7674]

Perhaps it’s not the music or voice that you see and hear, but the soul that is so freely shared. Truly authentic.

[@rebeccalima5769]

I found laufey in 2019 when she released her first music. Since then she's everything to me, her voice just flow so deeply and emotionally.

[@swirl8oy]

no other artist has ever given me the comfort that laufey brings

[@joons3707]

her dynamic and vibrato is immaculateeeee

[@JAW476]

her music makes my heart fill full, that's so rare these days for me at least

[@bealesy9022]

Laufey is a gift. There is no one else like her today. Beautiful soul.

[@WhitneyWasson]

"Promise" is one of those stop-you-in-your-tracks songs I'd heard when I was out in the world but didn't think to track down. Pleasant surprise for this to pop up so I can enjoy it "live"! Thanks KEXP!

[@jakeatdevhub]

Had to do a double take and immediately listen to this one over again. Wow - stellar voice and style.

[@gustavocortesmunizaga814]

What a discovery!

[@callumplaysjazzmusic]

Awesome all around for this show! Really enjoyable

[@henrypark0927]

She is wonderful Jazz singer!!

[@dynjarren8355]

She’s beautiful and talented! Sweet! 😮😊

[@cbsaulren]

Found Laufey last year and shared with someone who's also a twin and I hope that person still gets a few butterflies like I do every time I hear Laufey's incredible voice.

[@WilFreeD68]

day 2...listening again Laufey's performance... what a great artist ! "Bewitched" got me stuck on her voice and guitar playing , then as i closed my eyes, my feet left the ground... .Wow ! Good Medecine ! 🌿💚

[@lucyx_inthesky]

So nice and I’m glad that someone is trying to renew jazz in a cool way for the next generation 😍

[@PatriotSteve]

So excited to have discovered this amazing talent.

[@JamesMasters-ly2ex]

WOW ! I COULD LISTEN TO YOU ALL DAY !!!

[@MrPaulo64]

2:25 she sings some Charlie Parker Donna Lee extract, that s cool.

[@kentgasaway47]

Enjoyed this concert and interview with Laufey very much! She is a tremendously talented musician/composer/vocal artist. She is a giving the world a special and unique gift with her beautiful music.

[@josephbruceryan6438]

She’s one of the best artists I’ve seen live. Would highly recommend if you can get a ticket.

[@alittlebitofandrea]

her music is so good! big props to the i get viewer amazing questions and back and forth!!

Absolutely fantastic songs from my favorite singer, along with an incredible interview. I'm overjoyed to have come across this video!

Vamos Laufey carajo 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@BryceCarter-eh9hv]

You can feel the atmosphere of her angelic voice around you

[@winterlilith]

You make me grateful to be alive. Hearing you sing makes life worth living.

[@kaeta5833]

her voice is strong and beautiful, she's enchanting

[@kandyce639]

After I started the video I couldn’t stop

[@Cool7Songs]

"It hurts to be something ... It's worse to be nothing with you"

[@NakOut]

Every performance she gives always feels as though she is truly singing from the heart. I love this so much about Laufey. I don't know how it's possible to perform even better live, but she always does it. I've gotten to see her twice so far, once in an intimate little venue (Troubadour) and once with the LA Phil, and both times I couldn't help but well up with tears. Her music is so acoustic, and I feel like it really highlights the beauty of her composition, her lyricism, and of course her gently powerful voice. It so often feels like she's singing like a mother singing a lullaby to her children...it's truly so enchanting. Thanks for sharing your stories with us, Laufey

[@m.m.1508]

awesome. ... just awesome..

[@dear_soph06]

Laufey just made "Promise" even sadder when she sang much louder than the original! Aside from "Fragile," this song made me stop in my tracks and start singing. This is DEFINITELY the live singing I've been wishing to see! Thanks much, KEXP and Laufey

[@erhanalankus]

Thank you for this amazing recording. She's awesome.

[@MarioDominguez-jc9mp]

Just discovered thanks to this video, wow! instant fan.

Amazing how good this is!!! I am overwhelmed. Never heard of Laufey before as the swede I am. What a voice!

[@robertpeterson8640]

Really lovely music and she exudes personal charm.

[@cybergod77]

beautiful voice and wonderful singer...

[@stellisvideos]

Sounds pretty much like a singer from Brasil! She plays the Bossa Nova very well! Love it!

[@marcosreads]

This is so good! I'm very proud of your growth as an artist. I hope that someday I have similar ideas and get closer of how brilliant you are. This is one of the most beautiful things about what we're living at the moment, and your lyrics are completely relatable. I'm so thankful that I was able to find you, your songs kept me going during the pandemics and I'm really thankful for everything that you mean to me. I'm from Brazil, and hopefully I'll be able to see you live someday.

[@jien910315]

If there is heaven, i would imagine it would sound or feels like this.

[@michaelorbegoso3419]

Laufey es de las pocas artistas que suenan igual de bien (o mejor) en vivo y en estudio. Escucharla te transporta totalmente a otro lugar.

[@ZeroofAgrathalm]

Wow very nice this is beautiful 👏

[@kitdman5749]

Reminds me of my mom singing me a lullaby. ❤❤❤

[@Lovedeathcores]

Plz I need more live video of her❤❤

[@kevin104z]

She’s bewitched me!!

[@kalania14]

I just discovered you and I love your music. My 13 yo daughter told me about you and her friend told her about you. Thank you for making your music appealing to the young people and bringing music from yester-year as well as romance back to todays generation.

[@andrewqie9138]

You can tell she was nervous, until she started to soothing herself through singing. So talented!

[@laurentseror8917]

La classe !

[@fsurhana]

SHE'S SO COOL!! I'M GONNA DIEEEE

[@ARRLM34352]

Love Laufey, missed her in Seattle this year!

[@keithpurtell1213]

Surprising on many levels, very good, her music needs a wider reputation.

[@dougcallaghan6075]

Oh, it's coming like a freight train. Every theater show she's done this year has been sold out.

[@jamesl.o.h.6000]

Awesome

[@TabooRevolution13]

Laufey on KEXP... wow!

Absolutely love this performance my dear friend Laufey!

Only her voice and one instrument is enough to fill my heart. That is rare.

Just went back to the 60s, and that's a really good thing.

Laufey shot her music arrow into my ears and I can’t get enough of her. 😍Knowing that I could have been there at Port Townsend to witness this if I would have paid more attention 🤦🏾‍♀️ Ive done the math and there’s no solution to my ineptness 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you for posting

[@iarrascuep]

Such a great voice!

[@homegrownrecording]

Her music is such a gift!

[@wendysmith6563]

Lovely . Just lovely.

[@TomMooney-e3i]

Absolutely overwhelming.

[@Parssel]

Her voice is so beautiful live. So you go to one of her shows and her voice is drowned out by all the flat notes being sung loudly around you! And people don’t mind because they just love the songs so much and want to share them together under the same roof as her. What a phenomenon. Still, I would have liked to have heard her…

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Damn, took a few min but by Promise end....i was on board entirely. Ya got me

[@higiniofuentes2551]

Dreaming with this incredible voice! Love it!
