GRAMMY®-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey is announcing new music with 'Bewitched: The Goddess Edition', due for release April 26 on AWAL. The expanded edition features four brand-new original songs that Laufey wrote in the wake of finishing her 2023critically celebrated album 'Bewitched'. The lead single “Goddess” is available now— fans can stream it here: laufey.ffm.to/goddess
Of the new single, Laufey notes, “'Goddess' is my most honest song yet. I wrote it alone at my piano after feeling like someonehad fallen in love with the version of me they’d seen on stage, just to find that I wasn’t what they projected once I was off stage. Theydeemed me to no longer be a shiny thing when the glamor wore off, reduced to skin and bone.”
Laufey is currently in the midst of the European leg of her sold-out “Bewitched: The Goddess Tour”. The sold-out North American dates will kick off in April, before she heads to Asia in May toplay at Jakarta's Java Jazz Festival and two sold-out ‘A Night AtThe Symphony’ concerts in Manila with Manila PhilharmonicOrchestra.
