Laufey has signed to Interscope Records and Verve Records, according to a September 16 announcement from the labels. The singer and multi-instrumentalist is working on new music, although the announcement does not give a title, track list or release date for her next project.
The deal follows her A Matter of Time tour. Her existing recordings include Bewitched and A Matter of Time, while the announcement also points to her performances with orchestras and her annual A Very Laufey Day events. Those settings help explain why a joint Interscope and Verve arrangement is a relevant development beyond the name printed on a record sleeve.
What the partnership tells listeners
Verve brings a catalog closely associated with jazz vocalists; Interscope brings a broader contemporary pop roster. That combination provides a useful frame for an artist whose audience moves between songcraft, jazz instrumentation and orchestral performance. It does not, by itself, establish how the next album will sound.
For now, the concrete news is the label partnership. Listeners following the next release should distinguish this signing announcement from a single or album announcement: no new song is identified here. The official statement below provides the original details, while future release information will need its own confirmation.
