“…her singular spot in modern music makes 'A Matter of Time' so triumphant: her latest full-length sounds unstuck from sonic or storytelling expectations, and thus, Laufey once again surpasses them” – Billboard
February 26th, 2026 – 2X GRAMMY®-winning, LA-based Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey has announced 'A Matter of Time: The Final Hour', the deluxe edition of her GRAMMY®-winning album 'A Matter of Time'. The expanded project will be released on April 10via AWAL/Vingolf Recordings and features four additional tracks, including the new single “How I Get”, which is out now. Fans can presave the album here and stream the new track here.
“"How I Get" is about the contrast between being disciplined, grounded and in control in every area of my life, except when it comes to one person,” says Laufey. “It explores that unsettling shift where I suddenly find myself chasing the rush and justifying behavior I swore I’d never fall into, because with them, that’s just how I get”.
Produced alongside longtime collaborator Spencer Stewart and GRAMMY®-winning artist Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran), ‘A Matter of Time: The Final Hour’ captures Laufey’s emotional renaissance as she embraces the anxieties and vulnerability that accompany experiencing “real love” in its many forms. The deluxe edition will feature the album’s fifteen original tracks plus four previously unreleased songs.

Earlier this month, Laufey took home Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for ‘A Matter of Time’ at the 68th GRAMMY® Awards. The win is her second in the category, following a statue for ‘Bewitched’ at the 2024 awards which made her the youngest artist to win the honor. ‘A Matter of Time’ was released to widespread critical acclaim in August, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Jazz Albums chart (where it continues to hold a spot in the top 10). In January, Laufey was presented with Icelandic knighthood, the prestigious Order of the Falcon, by President Halla Tómasdóttir.
The deluxe album continues to add to a landmark year for Laufey, who is currently on tour throughout the U.K. and Europe with dates already sold out at various locations.
