So funny the comments on here from musicians or wannabe musicians trying to look smart to impress laufey. ( Haven't you listened to her vocals Mr eclecticđ, she sees right through you)
Music is for everyone to listen to hence laufeys growing popularity from every age group in every country.
Both you guys I wanna say ( in the words of ABBA) thank you for the musicđ

The intro is almost literally âSurfBoardâ by Jobim.

I tried listening to her songs and her voice is so low it becomes unpleasant and unbearable. I wish she would practice her vocals. Chappell Roan doesn't have that weird tone.

Such a great track! And I love seeing Ableton live on a laptop on top of a giant mixing board, that's funny!

It's almost certain that they have a lot of reference/background on studying brazilian music, not only bossa nova, but also other brazilian classical musicians such as Villa-Lobos. It's a pleasure to hear a unique extraordinary music production by Laufey and Spencer. Amazing musicians!

For me this song is pure Bossa Nova with influences of Tom Jobim and JoĂŁo Gilberto. I was surprised that in any moment they didnât even mention the wordsâBossa Novaâ.
