She embraces her roots as a classical musician by including more orchestral melodies that compliment her staple jazz-pop sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the track <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/29484239?\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letter to My 13 Year Old Self<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">,<\/span> Laufey taps into self-love, telling her younger self to not give up because a career in music awaits her. The Icelandic-Chinese singer also addresses her childhood insecurities with lyrics such as \u201cI&#8217;m so sorry that they pick you last\/ <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">try to say your foreign name and laugh\u201d and \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">life is prettier than it may seem<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The orchestral compositions combined with the jazzy beats and pop lyrics add a whimsical, dream-like quality to her songs. A personal favorite of mine is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreamer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It has nostalgic harmonies and optimistic undertones as Laufey proclaims, \u201cno boy\u2019s going to kill the dreamer in me.\u201d Similarly, the songs <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bewitched <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goddess <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have an emotional rawness that help you feel the artist\u2019s vulnerability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laufey is carving out her own place in the music industry. She\u2019s not a strict traditionalist or modernist and does not conform to trends. Rather, she draws from the past to create something new and beautiful, something that is distinctively Laufey.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you think of when you hear the word jazz?
