#Laufey #Bewitched
Alright, buckle up because we're diving into the enigmatic world of Laufey and her mesmerizing debut album "Bewitched"! Laufey, hailing from Iceland, brings a magical blend of indie folk and jazz to the table, weaving a spellbinding sonic tapestry that'll leave you enchanted.
Now, let's talk about the influences behind this musical journey. Laufey draws inspiration from her Icelandic roots, infusing her music with a sense of mystique and otherworldly beauty reminiscent of the landscapes of her homeland. But that's not all-her sound is also influenced by jazz legends like Billie Holiday and Chet Baker, adding a sultry sophistication to her melodies.
But what really sets "Bewitched" apart is Laufey's ethereal voice. With its haunting timbre and emotive delivery, it's like a siren's call, beckoning you into a realm of dreams and desires. Each track is a testament to her incredible vocal range and dynamic storytelling, from the tender intimacy of "Dreamer" to the bittersweet nostalgia of "From the Start."
And let's not forget about the instrumentation-lush strings, delicate piano, and subtle percussion create a rich, atmospheric backdrop for Laufey's vocals to soar. It's like being wrapped in a warm embrace, lost in a reverie of sound and emotion.
So there you have it-Laufey's "Bewitched" is a spellbinding journey through love, loss, and everything in between. With its captivating melodies and heartfelt lyrics, it's an album that'll leave you bewitched, bothered, and bewildered-in the best possible way! - เพลง

U forgot the banger at the start of the Video
thankssss
i find it beautiful how laufey herself said she wants to be the taylor swift of jazz and reinvent it to a bigger audience, and now she is a grammy winner :)
real ❤ can't believe I found her from the song Magnolia
Well the only difference between laufey and Taylor is that laufey has good music
@@Alexandre-yp1uy unprovoked hate is so jobless ijbol
@@Alexandre-yp1uybruh no need to hate
Right! I said that laufey is like taylor but jazz but i didn't know she actually said that
I understand the criticism that it's questionable that an entire album has the same ballad vibe, but I don't mind it too much, because personally I like that there are some albums like this and I can listen all of it without waiting for an edm pop drop to cut my mood
i agree and would also argue that some of the songs aren’t really ballady- none of them are super uptempo obviously but songs like lovesick, dreamer, and bewitched aren’t exactly slow or sad
@@kai_ller yes very true
It's like a box of chocolates. It's all chocolate but there are little differences
@@jaybirdrosewater-holmes7071 exactly
When I listened the album for the first time that's what I thought
But listening more and more I started to think that it was insane to think the songs are alike, to me all the songs have a different vibe lol
at my laufey show she changed the lyrics in letter to my 13 year old self to “write your story, and you’ll win a grammy” i’m so proud of her
that’s my favorite laufey song! it makes me cry. i just related a lot!
Fun fact: Junia her twin sister is a violinist and plays the violin on some of her songs !
i never knew that thats so cool
Her mom does as well!
@@user-iw8wl9wu8y yes her mom is a violinist
SHE'S GONNA BE A BIG THING. I CAN FEEL IT.
oh fr
@@meliodys her writing style is phenomenal ilh so much 🤍
@@rie_888gotta love her
@@rie_888Laufey and beadobadee (I might’ve got the name wrong) are gonna be big!
@@cosmos.clothing.13it’s beabadoobee but yes i def agree!
jazz is everything especially thanks to laufey
this
@@awesomecutieusername thanks to laufey, she’s brought jazz back into the mainstreams eye
THE DAY HAS COME
rejoice
IVE BEEN WAITINGFGGGFF
IKR IVE BEEN REQUESTING NONSTOP
I saw her live earlier this week, I desparately hope she sticks around forever. She's such a talent, vocally and instrumentally. Just amazing
I'm going to see her in a couple weeks I'm literally so excited!!!
Peanut butter and jelly for realll hope you have an amazing time
please react to her first album “everything I Know About Love” pleaaaseee, I love uuu
YESS THISS and also street by street! thats what got me into her
LAUVERS ITS OUR DAAAYYYYY ❤❤❤
HELL YEAH IT ISSSS
IT LITERALLY ISSSSSSS
YESSSSSS
YES EVEN IF IM 2 MONTHS LATE
@@TheGreatWarStan real
letter to my 13 year old self hits me. the fact that at the end of the chorus my mind ended the line "let her know she's beautiful" with "to me"
i'm so glad it didn't end like that. she is beautiful. we are beautiful.
on tour she changed the second chorus lyric of Letter to my 13yo self to “and youll win a grammy too” tears.
there’s a laufey and d4vd collab that i assure you is the best thing on this planet. you have to react to that one
Yes it is so good!!
I’m so happy he finally reacted to Laufey. Her music is so beautiful and soothing and Bewitched was my awakening of seeing that!! Finally we get the reaction!!
Nocturne is actually the name of a type of Romantic Period song that a famous piano player from the 1800s named Chopin is known for! He wrote like 12 of them and they’re all so breathtaking. Anyway, it’s so cool that she starts with his original themes of Nocturne and then writes in her own stuff too! Knowing this background makes this song sm more meaningful. I love Laufey and as a music student, it’s so so SO good and cool to see how she uses her classical training to make such amazing and relevant music.
OMG it’s Chopin??? wow. her mind ✨
Chopin is one of her favorite composers. she said it on her tiny desk
haha that james bond comment, she has said one of her dreams would be to write an intro for a james bond movie :') and also to win a grammy but she achieved that!!
That's also what I thought when I first heard Haunted! Then she released A Night To Remember ft beabadoobee and immediately thought, yup she definitely has that James Bond vibe
i loveee the way that nocture (the interlude) includes themes from all the songs on the album! its such a nice way to tie it all together and it itches my brain so nicely
Ive been listening to laufey since her first singles on TikTok and let me tell you gotta listen to "let me break your heart" again with the philharmonic orchestra!! It makes me float
I love it when the order of songs on an album are well thought out I love that in this album it kind of goes in order of falling in love with someone. It starts with being heartbroken then transitions into a whimsical happy stage then it translates back into losing the love and it kind of turns into a loop
I love that you’re reacting to Laufey. She’s probably in my top ten artist right now. I’m also glad that you’re reacting to a lot of smaller artist now. If i have to recommend another artist for you to react to, I would love if you could listen to Madilyn Mei. She’s my favorite small artist at the moment and her songs are so catchy and fun and sad at the same time. Can’t wait to see what other artists you listen too.
I JUST LOVE MADILYN MEI 🪿🌈✨🌱🦕🍄
@@foreveravocados9008 YESS!! My favorite song is Kleptomaniacrow.
personally I love her debut album more but I’m so happy she got her album for this and I’m so excited that everyone is discovering her now
PLEASE DO HER FRESHMAN ALBUM !!!
I love that her first album is a bit more dynamic but this one is just like floating on a cloud
Disney needs Laufey to voice the next Dinsey princess!! like are you kidding me must be love sounds like its straight out of Cinderella or sleeping beauty
It’s how laufey and Eloise are my favorite artists a collab between them would be my Roman empire
YES SAME

I think you would love the album she did with the iceland symphony orchestra, it's so beautiful. And of course, her first album Everything I Know About Love is gorgeous too!
1:10 adam neely has a great video explaining laufey's musical genre, but her music also has some fantastic classical music and musical theater influences. i heard someone described her music as "more digestible" version of these genres (which i vehemently disagree with), but i do like the fact that people who listen to laufey's music are starting to kind of get into classical music and jazz. as someone who's played both before (but is more classically inclined), i think laufey's music and her recommendations for jazz and classical music are great ways to introduce more people into the genres.
laufey's vocals, songwriting and melodies made me ascend to a new jazzy dimension
NOW LISTEN TO HER DEBUT ALBUM
HELL YEAH LAUFEY TIME BABY
bewitched is such an amazing album. i recently saw laufey live, and she was insanely phoenoamal. i love laufey so much and i know shes gonna be big.
"I need this in vinyl!" I feel this so hard I listened to this album once and bought the vinyl the same day, can confirm that it makes me feel like Cinderella singing to the woodland animals lol.
YES FINALLY, now need your reaction to the rest of her stuff. her ep lives in my head forever
Omg literally I love her ep so much
Like the movies is my whole personality fr 😭
I’M SO GLAD LAUFEY IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION SHE DESERVES 🙌🙌 UR REACTIONS PERFECTLY CAPTURE MINE WHILE LISTENING TO LAUFEY 😭🫶
OMG YES!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE BEWITCHED CAME OUT!!
LAUFEY IS FOR THE YEARNERS 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Your reaction to haunted was my exact same reaction. The way the strings moves and progressively gets louder, it’s so beautifully written and laufey absolutely wrote art itself into an album it’s something I’d listen to in a cute flowy dress watching the sunset. Laufey has outdone herself and I’m so proud of how far she’s come. GOD how I wish I could listen to this album again 😕
this reaction is everything i never knew i needed
Listening to this album for the first time, oh god I got chills listening to Serendipity (I started listening to everything after FTS). Laufey’s voice is insanely ethereal, it’s like an angel whispering in my ears. And now I’m sobbing at “let her know that she’s beautiful” (LTMTYOS). Damnit why are you making me cry while I do HW 😭😭
This is everything to a romantic delusional girl like me. How have I gone so long without hearing this beautiful voice? I can’t imagine how depressed I would’ve stayed if I hadn’t listened to this entire album right now.
I know they are completely different genres, but the ensemble instrumentals give me hints of a band I love so much: The Oh Hellos
I’ve been fortunate enough to see her live twice - she is so incredibly talented! I love her lyricism and artistry
From the Start is what brought me to her and I am so in love everything she does is so beautiful and majestic I can literally imagine what she feel just with her words❤❤
LIVE LAUGH LAUFEY i’m so happy you listened to her, her live show was so enchanting and her love songs capture those butterflies so well- tho i’m still cackling at “i already miss you~” “HE’S RIGHT THERE”
everyone plsss listen to her first album it’s sooo good. im happy she’s gotten so much recognition in 2023 but i ❤everything i know about love
PLEASE react to The Last Dinner Party's debut album!!! It's INCREDIBLE.
laufey takes me to heaven
she’s literally magestic
and please react to more of her music, love ur reactions
YOU NEED TO REACT TO HER DEBUT ALBUM EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT LOVE
How dare you put the idea of harry and laufey doing a duet together in my head 🥲
She was my top artist on Spotify this passed year and i truly love how it’s “one dimensional” i know exactly what im getting myself into when i listen to her. You NEEEEEDD to listen to her album Everything I Know About Love. Still can’t believe she got her first Grammy.
YOU SHOULD TRY KALI UCHIS RED MOON IN VENUS YOU'D LOVE IT
I wasn’t sure I’d stick around to watch the entire video, but your commentary is just so on-point & entertaining, and it’s really interesting to witness the juxtaposition of your chaotic energy with substantive discourse on music theory & vocal styling.
Edutainment at its best! 👏 Newly-subbed!
Been waiting for this review!!
YAYYY!! I was so excited for you to react
I WANTED YOU TO REACT TO THIS ALBUM SO BADD OMGGGG

i am SO happy you listened to her!!!! excited to watch
nice transition at the start there 😄👍 love this review, it's a dreamy album and laufey's vocals are *chef's kiss*
since you started with laufey and dipping your toes in jazz, would you be interested in reviewing older jazz albums like Chet Baker Sings or Ella and Louis? or even a "purer"? modern jazz singer Samara Joy and her album "Linger Awhile", which actually won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2022, i think
i’ve been waiting for this
been a fan of laufey since her typical of me EP and she deserves all the recognition shes getting rn !! love her and her music so so much ❤️
Nobody knows how much I love laufey. She is such a talented singer and I know she’ll make it. Her songs make me cry sometimes from her beautiful voice🥹
Thanks for reacting to her album 🤧 I love her sm
