Laufey, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, has announced her new album A Matter of Time, out August 22nd via Vingolf Recordings and AWAL. In anticipation of the new project, she has released her latest single, “Tough Luck,” which you can stream below.
A Matter of Time is Laufey’s third album following 2023’s Bewitched. The new project was produced by frequent Laufey collaborator Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner, a member of The National who has been no stranger to producing pop albums in recent years, most notably for Taylor Swift. The album is available for pre-order now.
“People expect a pretty façade of girly clothes, fantastical stories, and romantic music,” Laufey said in a statement. “This time, I was interested in seeing how I could draw out the most flawed parts of myself and look at them directly in the mirror.”

“Tough Luck,” which details a relationship gone wrong, is the second offering from the album after she debuted “Silver Lining” at Coachella last month. Regarding the song, Laufey said she wanted to “reveal an angrier side of myself,” which she does through her fiery lyrics bashing an old lover.
Laufey has several North American live performances coming up, although she has yet to announce a full tour for the new album. See the full schedule below and get tickets to her upcoming live dates here.
