[Blazer_]

I've gone down this Laufey rabbit hole recently and...
I think I'm love. Someone help me

[ililgreen]

the fusion of the Goddess and the guitar creates a magical atmosphere 🤍🤍💙

[Alstromeria]

ありがとう。
FIRST TAKEで初めてLaufeyを知って、

こんなにゾクゾクするのは初めての体験

[shadowandpain]

She's casting the spell again. There's no force that can break this charm <3

[宋玉芳]

laufey has such a natural aura about her. The first take is perfect for that <3

[Beater]

As I get older I have thought that real artists without gimmicks or auto-tune were a thing of the past. THE FIRST TAKE has shown me that I was wrong and I love every new video proving that to me.

[kazeshi]

damn, she has a great voice. never even heard of her before these 2 videos but gonna need to look her up for sure.

[akari]

Laufeyほんとにうれしすぎる、！！！！
Like the movies聴きたいです😵‍💫🤍

[kax]

LaufeyさんのPromise聴いてみてください。
聴き惚れます。泣けます。
歌詞を見るとさらに惹かれます。

[luisytacc]

Amazing vocals from this very human, very talented singer.

[Thebluevoicewave]

Laufey, this is so emotionally telling. I hear your sadness and feel your tears in this daunting description of the broken-hearted Goddess in the lyrics. You are perfect in conveying those feelings in a song for all the naive goddesses out there. Warm hugs

[あっくん-wy]

goddessでguitar
from the startでpiano
いつもと反対で新鮮

[cosmicXplosion]

wow…the level of professionalism is breathtaking…hard to imagine this is the first take…wow…

[_goldenmoon]

laufey's voice is so special and comforting.

[tomo-]

Laufey第二弾！！
今回はギターですか！？
まったく違う曲ですね♪
うーん、すごい
曲の表現力も歌の表現力も、ヤバいです！
凄すぎて、私の表現力が5歳児になります😅

小さい会場で聴けたら幸せでしょうね。

[simplyyam]

[tracyjy]

Omg yes YOU ARE GODDESS LAUFEY!! I love this song so much I'm so glad there's a first take version QAQ❤

[hchoi]
