\n Icelandic jazz-pop phenom Laufey brought her signature charm and whimsy to the Crypto.com Arena over the weekend.<\/p>\n
\n The 26-year-old Grammy winner\u2019s A Matter of Time tour stopped in L.A. on Sept. 26 and 27. Her legions of adoring fans, who were quick to scream and shout their adoration throughout the show, packed two nights at the Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA) arena. The show was broken down into a five-act structure (four acts and an encore), with each act featuring a different set piece.<\/p>\n
\n A Matter of Time<\/em>, the album the tour is promoting, is about the self-discovery that comes with falling in love, the musician, whose birth name is Laufey (pronounced \u201cLAY-vay\u201d) L\u00edn Bing J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, told THR<\/em> ahead of its release<\/a>. She describes it as \u201cthe overthinker\u2019s guide to love,\u201d noting she didn\u2019t even recognize herself at times throughout the process. \u201cI never thought that it would bring out this much emotion in me,\u201d she adds. \u201cEven when it\u2019s a love song, it\u2019s like, \u2018Who am I?\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n \n The song from the new album that perhaps best answers that question is \u201cSabotage,\u201d which she described as the meeting of the chaotic and ethereal. It served as the final song of the show, ignoring the encore. <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe very beautiful melodic piano piece, part of \u2018Sabotage\u2019 \u2014 that\u2019s how I appear on the outside. I\u2019m always dressed up. I\u2019m always wearing some fucking little dress and ballet flats,\u201d she continues. \u201cBut on the inside, there might be an absolute mess. That noise in \u2018Sabotage,\u2019 those disturbances, that was my musical way of displaying anxiety.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Below are some of the highlights of Laufey\u2019s sold-out L.A. dates. <\/p>\n \n The singer, known for her own blend of jazz and pop, was able to let all sides of musical identity throughout the show. Act two of the show, Laufey explained, was born from the idea of bringing concertgoers into a jazz club (while still inside a large arena). The unique show setup made the experience feel one-of-a-kind, like must-see entertainment.<\/p>\n \n Built into the musician\u2019s set is a special song, a rotating track that changes city to city. The special track alone would be exciting for fans but Laufey brought it to the next level by inviting different musicians to perform with her. <\/p>\n \n Night one, she brought up Hozier, which earned a huge reaction from the crowd, to perform her song \u201cMagnolia\u201d with her. The pair sounded incredible, and the duet stood out as a highlight of the night.<\/p>\n \n For her second L.A. show, Laufey invited rising girl group Katseye to join her onstage. She performed the six-member girl group\u2019s song \u201cGabriela\u201d with the young women. <\/p>\n \n As the singer headed into the show\u2019s fourth act, she warned the crowd that this is where things got a bit dramatic. She took to the piano for a few songs, including her 2023 single, \u201cGoddess.\u201d The song, set against dramatic lighting, was the standout moment of the show. It felt like all the theatrics of the night led to the explosive climax of the song, with the camera tracking the singer as she belted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Icelandic jazz-pop phenom Laufey brought her signature charm and whimsy to the Crypto.com Arena over the weekend.
