Laufey The Grammy-winning, genre-blending musician on pushing herself creatively, making her latest album, and confiding in Norah Jones

There is a lot of talk about how exactly to label your music: jazz or pop. Does that ever get annoying?

You’ve said that the songs on your new album, A Matter of Time, came right from your diary. What made you want to get so personal? I had the confidence to. I also fell in love for the first time, so it’s an album about that, and the self-discovery that comes with it. The whole goal of the album is to illustrate the contrast between this glasslike beauty and chaos that I feel within myself so often; that I am needing to present myself in a very pristine way, but I’m fighting some sort of chaos on the inside because I’m not letting it out. With this album, I really just wanted to let it all out.
