AWAL singer-songwriter Laufey has done the seemingly impossible— she’s gotten younger listeners interested in jazzy pop. The sophisticated Icelandic chanteuse-tunesmith has achieved genuine traction on DSPs, enjoyed a strong chart debut with new album A Matter of Time, become a formidable live act and generated considerable Grammy buzz. AWAL chief Lonny Olinick is feeling pretty jazzed as well, though he strongly urged us to “23 skidoo.” Whatever that means.
