A Matter of Time (Laufey album)

A Matter of Time is the upcoming third studio album by Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey. It is set to be released on 22 August 2025, through Vingolf Recordings and AWAL. It follows her second album, Bewitched (2023). The album represents a shift from her earlier focus on jazz preservation toward exploring a more vulnerable and emotionally expressive side. Laufey collaborated with longtime producer Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner to develop a sound that balances emotional depth with broader musical influences.

Thematically, the album addresses topics such as friendship breakups, apprehension about love, and personal introspection. Laufey described the project as an opportunity to explore more complex and imperfect aspects of herself. Ahead of the album's release, two singles were issued: "Silver Lining" on 3 April 2025, and "Tough Luck" on the day of the album announcement, 15 May 2025. The latter reflects a more assertive tone influenced by experiences of a failed relationship.
