‘Trendy Love Podcast’: Laufey, Gen Z’s Pop Jazz Icon, Sings for the Anxious Era

Laufey, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter, has risen to prominence by taking the trials of right now’s courting world — informal relationships, no labels and seemingly countless swiping on apps — and turning them into timeless love songs.

At this time, Laufey reads Coco Mellors’s essay, “An Anxious Individual Tries to Be Chill,” which is a few girl making an attempt to work via her deep-seated relationship anxieties and attachment points in an on-again, off-again situationship. Laufey says she, too, has been an anxious companion. Whereas she thinks a poisonous relationship, just like the one within the essay, could make for an excellent love tune, she now is aware of safe relationships could make lovely music, too.
