Laufey's Hit Songs Start in the Notes App | Inside the Studio | ELLE

Known for her signature blend of vintage charm and modern storytelling, Laufey takes us behind the scenes of her creative process in an episode of ELLE’s “Inside the Studio.” From late-night lyric writing in her Notes app to short voice memos that spark entire songs, the “Tough Luck” singer is redefining what it means to create music on her own terms. Ahead of the release of her sophomore album, the jazz-pop artist reveals the lore behind her studio “drink graveyard,” the magic of writing at Electric Lady Studios, and how a single phrase like “Silver Lining” can blossom into a full track. Watch as Laufey shares her inspirations, creative quirks, and what it really takes to finish the *perfect* song. Stream "Silver Linings" and Laufey's new single "Tough Luck," out everywhere now.
