Laufey releases new single and music video

Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey returns with her first single since the conclusion of her breakthrough Bewitched album cycle. The single is accompanied by an elegant, masquerade-themed music video.

Watch below:

Laufey says of the single,

"‘Silver Lining’ is a love song about being able to set your true personality free when you fall in love. Your inner child comes out and you are emboldened by lust. Even if it takes you to hell, at least you’re with your partner.”

The singer is set to take the Coachella stage next weekend, with a promotional billboard joking about confusion surrounding her Icelandic name's pronunciation appearing in the desert near the festival grounds. She will also be heading out on a a short orchestral tour this summer around the US.
