Her resonance on notes below middle C is just stunning. And her finger picking style perfectly compliments her already stunning composition!

[OmicronGaming]

Glad to see the two of you teaming up, her voice is something that deserves to be shared

[c.vanlalnghaka]

Now I'm 100% sure that George Collier has a crush on her

[elix]

Every time she's featured here I'm speechless. How does she do that?

[unacuentadeyoutube]

The only person to have ever touched George's heart so badly. Well, just after Arturo Sandoval

[henriaug]

Yeah she sings like an angel, but damn, the composition is so good I've thought it was some jazz standard I wasn't aware of or something.

I LOVE HOW AT 0:33 WHEN LAUFEY SINGS “falling” THE NOTE LITERALLY FALLS FROM G TO E SO SMOOTHLY AND ITS SO SATISFYING

[KrisserStoffer]

If Laufey reads these comments, I would like her to know that Fragile became one of my favorite songs a few weeks ago as it's so impressive in describing the feeling of long distance relationships. Street By Street is also amazing, but I must admit that's cause I have a soft spot for Boston. Also, it's a really good song so there's that. Kærar þakkir!

[Johnny-mlej]

This isn't George's crush, his one true love is Arturo Sandoval

[loopyzreal]

Loving how jazz is really making a comeback in many ways; perfectly coinciding with the decline of record labels. The fusion of contemporary melody styles from Hip Hop/Trap and Electronic with jazz really creates a whole new unique sound; something entirely new. So for all you musicians out there, don’t worry; Intricate harmony will naturally make it into the mainstream: people’s ears naturally yearn for those unexpected yet amazing moments of unfamiliar chord changes, even if they don’t know it yet.

[InstrumentManiac]

I just read the FAQ and I can't believe you're in HS! Truly a legend at these transcriptions

[IsraelWokoh]

*God-like* vibrato. Inhuman vocal control. Unparalleled tonal purity.

I've witnessed greatness.

[kelbygeffers]

I love the Bossa Nova feel in this piece! It gives you that little bit of swing to jam to, along with the lyrics that perfectly compliment the feeling! Going on my playlist right now!

[littlehollow]

I can't get enough of this. She's so good omgosh

[pantack]

when I think I'd like to meet someone who appreciates music this is what I think of

[beepbeep]

It is incredibly refreshing to hear acoustic songs with such unique use of chord progressions. Accompanied by vocals so pure and a beautiful blend of highs and lows. I have a very basic understanding of music theory but I can clearly hear the beauty of this song. Incredible.

[everyonesaidmynamewasstupi]

i’ve been following laufey’s stuff since mid 2020, and recently i’ve been having a phase of listening to basically nothing but her music for the past couple weeks. so it was a treat to see this uploaded less than a day ago! :) thanks so much guys

[JoshAwang]

She had me at "will you let me come closer to you...", how can someone be so gorgeous, sound so amazing and be so talented all in one

[DavinSalo]

Thanks for sharing your joy George. Every time I see an upload from you I know I'm looking forward to a treat. Fantastic song Laufey!
