Laufey, Gen Z’s Pop Jazz Icon, Sings for the Anxious Generation 

Laufey, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter, has risen to prominence by taking the trials of today’s dating world - casual relationships, no labels and seemingly endless swiping on apps - and turning them into timeless love songs.
Today, Laufey reads Coco Mellors’s essay, “An Anxious Person Tries to Be Chill (www.nytimes.com/2021/09/10/st...) ,” which is about a woman trying to work through her deep-seated relationship anxieties and attachment issues in an on-again, off-again situationship. Laufey says she, too, has been an anxious partner. While she thinks a toxic relationship, like the one in the essay, can make for a great love song, she now knows secure relationships can make beautiful music, too.
