Laufey has just released her brand-new single, titled “Silver Lining.”
The Icelandic-Chinese singer-songwriter welcomes a new era with her latest song, which embraces her signature jazz-pop sensibilities with a 60s-infused twist. “Silver Lining’ is a love song about being able to set your true personality free when you fall in love.
