Icelandic Chinese artist Laufey has achieved her yearbook dreams of moving to the U.S., signing a record deal, and winning a Grammy. At 26, she’s collaborated with legends like Barbra Streisand and performed with artists like Hozier. Her third album, “A Matter of Time,” is out on Friday and draws from diverse influences, including country and Icelandic folk music. It builds on her unique, neoclassical jazz-meets-pop sound. Her twin sister Junia plays violin on the new album. Laufey aims to introduce young audiences to jazz and classical music. In recent years, Laufey has become an Asian role model. She says it’s an honor, but there is still a long way to go.
