Laufey is back to celebrate the upcoming holidays with a special cover of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town.”
The new single from the Grammy-winning Icelandic jazz-pop artist is her latest in a string of Christmas-related releases, beginning with her EP A Very Laufey Holiday. Released last November 11, 2022, the collection of songs featured modern renditions of three Christmas classics — “The Christmas Waltz,” “Love To Keep Me Warm,” and “Christmas Dreaming.” After this, Laufey re-issued the EP on November 1, 2024, adding “Santa Baby” and “Winter Wonderland.”
Along with the release of “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” Laufey also premiered an accompanying visualizer for the track, which features a home video of her and her twin sister Junia when they were young. Watch it below:
Hand-in-hand with the release “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town,” Laufey has also released her original Christmas song, “Christmas Magic,” on all streaming platforms. The track was originally released on November 7, 2024 exclusively on Amazon Music as part of the soundtrack for the 2024 Christmas action comedy film Red One.
With this, both “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” and “Christmas Magic” make up the additional tracks on the second re-issue of A Very Laufey Holiday. Pre-orders for the 7-inch vinyl editions of both tracks, as well as a special box set edition, are now available for pre-order via Laufey’s official online merch store.
