holy shit as a vocalist i am stunned by her sound. her tone quality, the control she has, the precision at which she navigates the different ranges in her voice, oh my god!!!! she is phenomenal

[masonkpiano]

Can we talk about on top of her voice, her guitar playing was *phenomenal* . Literally makes it seem so easy to play and sing

[aznbacon]

Her grandfather was a legendary violin professor in China's Juilliard. The classical precision and training shows in her playing.

[davidpontius]

Good musicianship. Surprisingly deep voice. Lovely tone all around.

[vibin]

I can't sing like her.
I can't play like her.
While she did both angelically.

Laufey sounds like a sweet dream; the lower-mezzo range, the rich and round tone, the Disney princess vibrato, and jazzy chord backings.

😊

And nobody's gonna talk about the lyrics? Her writings are insanely good. Gosh!

[mariannecaranto]

It makes sense that she grew up in a family of classical musicians, everything about her is so polished.

[Julien-pdvs]

starting to think that George has a crush on her....

[calw.]

He’s been having a lot better dreams than I have.

She’s a distillation of so many of the things I love about Ella Fitzgerald and Vera Lynn’s voices. Really wonderful stuff.

Initially odd choice to have the guitar on two staves but definitely made sense with what she was playing and using it for

[KrisserStoffer]

I'm so glad you're giving Laufey some attention on this channel! Recently, I've listened to her songs a lot. "Fragile" is amazing and either makes me cry or get goosebumps every time. I don't know how she does it

[SG-no]

That B is every time givinig me goosebumps.

[KindaTiredIg]

I really like the vocals!! And paired with the cords this is like a dream..

[JoshuaDudeman]

0:43 (the full bar) is absolutely astounding. Her control is impressive (to say the least).

[jazzman]

She’s got such a warm voice. Great jazz comping too. I wanted a guitar solo but that scat section was on point. Definitely subbing.

I remember coming across this video a year ago and it's cool to see her do well now with her latest album.

[Mrzoux]

This guitar arrangement is charismatic af, those lyrics made you remember that time - or this time, I hope, for all of you - you fell in love without even noticing. The melody just beautifully reminds you how helplessy happy you are be to have found one that makes it all brighter. Delightful.

[YgorNunesprof]

This is one of the most simple, beautiful, gentle and well written songs that I've heard in English

[Pheminon]

That was amazing
Literally sounds like I'm where Remy was in Ratatouille on the roof overlooking all of Paris
