Today\u2019s installment of Arachnophonia<\/a> is by student assistant Joyce (class of 2027) and features Laufey’s 2025 album A Matter of Time<\/strong><\/a>. Thanks, Joyce!<\/em><\/p>\n

A Matter of Time<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Laufey<\/p>\n

I chose A Matter of Time<\/em> by Laufey<\/a> because her music is a combination of genres that I have always been drawn to. I like jazz, and Laufey\u2019s sound blends that style with pop in a way that feels both modern and timeless. I think her music is especially compelling to me because of its classical influence. She often sings with an operatic tone, and her background in classical music as a cellist shapes the structure and emotional depth of her songs. That classical foundation gives her music a richness that sets it apart from typical pop albums.<\/p>\n

This album is important to me because it feels versatile and comforting. My favorite song, \u201cLover Girl<\/a>,\u201d is especially catchy and lively, and I think it is good to listen to in everyday moments. It is the kind of song I enjoy playing while going on a walk or cleaning my room. Overall, I think this studio album<\/a> captures why I appreciate Laufey<\/a> as an artist. She creates music that is approachable and fun, yet grounded in a strong classical background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
