A Matter of Time

A Matter of Time is the third studio album by Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey. It was released on 22 August 2025, through Vingolf Recordings and AWAL. Ahead of the album's release, four singles were issued: "Silver Lining", "Tough Luck", "Lover Girl" and "Snow White". The album was met with acclaim from music critics, and won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards.

A Matter of Time represents a shift from her earlier focus on jazz preservation toward exploring a more vulnerable and emotionally expressive side. Laufey collaborated with longtime producer Spencer Stewart and Aaron Dessner of the National to develop a sound that balances emotional depth with broader musical influences. Thematically, the album addresses topics such as friendship break-ups, apprehension about love, and personal introspection. Laufey described the project as an opportunity to explore more complex and imperfect aspects of herself. A deluxe edition of the album, titled A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, released on 10 April 2026.
