Laufey returned to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Wednesday night, performing “Tough Luck.” Watch the performance below.
Performing on a carpeted set complete with four massive dice, Laufey provides a faithful, spirited performance of “Tough Luck.” As always with the 26-year-old Icelandic singer, front-and-center is her warm, expressive voice, which ranges from a jazzy coo in the song’s early modes to a cathartic belt in the track’s final chorus.
“Tough Luck” is a taste from her upcoming album A Matter of Time, which is set for release on August 22nd via Vingolf Recordings and AWAL. Laufey produced the record with Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner, the former whom she collaborated heavily with on her first two albums.
