Grammy-Winning Artist Laufey Rings in the Holiday with a Dreamy Rendition of ‘Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town’

November 11th, 2025 – GRAMMY®-winning LA-based Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Laufey reveals the latest addition to her holiday collection with her take on the classic “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town”. Fans can listen to the song here.

Laufey’s music has become synonymous with the season. A Very Laufey Holiday started in 2021 with “Love To Keep Me Warm” (with dodie), followed by “The Christmas Waltz” in 2022, “Christmas Dreaming” in 2023, and “Santa Baby” last year with a music video featuring Bill Murray. Also last year, Laufey recorded a holiday original, “Christmas Magic”, exclusively for Amazon Music, which will now be included on the ‘A Very Laufey Holiday’ collection.

Laufey’s latest album, ‘A Matter of Time’, was released to widespread critical acclaim in August, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and #1 on the Jazz Albums chart. On the album, Laufey further crystalizes her singular sound—one still rooted in her beloved influences, but which forgoes any strict standards or rules. “I’m constantly thinking about classical and jazz, how to properly preserve them and pay homage”. For this album she continues to do so while also noting, “I just wanted to let my heart wander”. To that end, she teamed with a pair of co-producers, one comforting and familiar—Spencer Stewart who worked with Laufey on her first two albums —and one new to her but deeply attuned to artists looking to open up: Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran). Feeling sonically unrestrained gave Laufey the space to share new sides of herself while exploring sometimes heavier themes. ‘A Matter of Time’ finds Laufey at her most daring—and also playful—as she captures the experience of “real love” in its many forms and what it means to observe as it strips you down to your most vulnerable and anxious
