Laufey changes tune with new single ‘Silver Lining’

Artist Statement: It took me a few days to draw this and I started on the bus ride to Norfolk for the NSAA State Journalism Contest. I made it on Procreate using my iPad. I think the dress was the hardest part for me because of all of the sequins on it and I'm not really sure how to draw that, so I added a lot of shine instead. The flower was kind of hard too because of all the small details in it. The face was the easiest part because I love doing faces. The background didn't take a long time and I'm very happy with how the yellow cloth turned out.

Popular singer songwriter Laufey’s new single Silver Lining goes in a darker direction than what we have previously seen from her music.

Since first releasing her music online in 2020 Laufey has enchanted listeners with beautiful vocals and beautiful romantic songs. Her songs go through romance and heartbreaking lost loves telling a enticing story through her music about learning about love and living through heartbreak. Her ability to capture and convey these emotions and feelings into her music has left listeners entranced since the beginning.

Her newest song Silver Lining has taken her music in a new direction exploring some darker themes in her songs going into following her lover all the way even down to hell and how even through the punishment from their evils in life that she would still be happy because she is with her lover. From her more delicate melodies of her 2022 “Everything I Know About Love” to the more rich sound of “Bewitched” of 2023 the usual happy heavenly qualities she sings of turn to a more dark side as she talks about her more destructive and negative qualities leaving her with none of the usual happy endings in her songs but yet she still is happy because she will be with the one she loves.

With her incredible vocals and song writing skills leaving viewers entranced with her music “Silver Lining” does an incredible job of showing love even through our worst qualities showing her incredible range as an artist pushing through her usual happy, looking up songs with a more fairytale quality to show off a darker side. As usual her song has left listeners humming along and excited to see if she continues to show off this side of her music in her highly anticipated upcoming album.
