Laufey Rolls The Dice With Cinematic ‘Tough Luck’ Performance On ‘Kimmel’

Laufey offered a stirring performance of her new single, “Tough Luck,” for Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday. The song appears on A Matter Of Time, the Icelandic-Chinese musician’s forthcoming album, which is due on August 22 via Vingolf Recordings/AWAL.

“‘Tough Luck’ is a fiery song about love gone wrong. I wanted to reveal an angrier side of myself—a side that this unfortunate relationship brought out in me,” Laufey explained of A Matter Of Time’s second single. The follow-up to 2023’s Bewitched was previously previewed with “Silver Lining.”

Laufey sang “Tough Luck” atop a pair of dice on the carpeted Kimmel stage. The Grammy-winning artist was backed by her band and a string quartet for the theatrical performance.
