Musician Laufey Lín Jónsdóttir recently received a Grammy nomination for her album Bewitched in the Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

The artist still can’t believe the news, reports mbl.is. “This is a great recognition for me. I created this project, the album Bewitched, in my room during the pandemic and have been working on it for the last three years. Especially being nominated in this category, which is a jazz category with few young people, is a great honour for me” says Laufey.

Laufey appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last weekend, where she performed the song “From the Start.”

Among other Icelandic musicians nominated for the Grammy Awards is Ólafur Arnalds who received a Grammy nomination in the Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album category for his album Some Kind of Peace (Piano Reworks).
