We love Laufey, and Laufey loves love, as demonstrated on her sophomore album Bewitched. The Los Angeles-based Chinese/Icelandic chantress sweeps us away, reminding us all what it is like to be young and in love. Whether it’s love for a friend, a lover, or a love of life, this release is sure to open your eyes, ears and heart.Laufey leans effortlessly into her suave jazz edges, and with huge payoff. From the opening track “Dreamer,” the listener is transported to a mid-century era of Jule Styne-esque musicals and films. Bewitched beautifully showcases her deep, full-bodied vocals and storytelling prowess, which she has masterfully developed since her enchanting debut Everything I Know About Love. Laufey even flexes her compositional skills beyond just songwriting on instrumental track “Nocturne (Interlude)” and on “Promise,” where her sweeping arrangements are performed by the London Philharmonia, whose film score credits include Battle of the Bulge and Oliver Twist.

From captivating vocal jazz ballads to epic orchestral pop like “Lovesick” (the kind of track you could see the lead character of a romcom betting from a car window), Laufey seamlessly connects different musical histories and genres. Listening to Bewitched is like being dipped in and out of the pinnacle love scene of 14 different films, and you’re not sure whether you want to dance, cry or sing jubilantly. The latest jewel in Laufey’s illustrious growing crown.
