“Let You Break My Heart Again” and “Lovesick”
Music by Laufey
Arranged by June Yoo ′25, Helen Zhou ′25, Andy Wong ′25
Conducted by Jeremy Ng ′26
__________________________________________________________________
ABOUT THE WORK
Laufey is an Icelandic singer-songwriter whose music blends jazz, classical, and pop. Trained as a classical cellist and jazz vocalist from childhood, she rose to fame in the early 2020s through her performances on TikTok, going on to win a GRAMMY Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for her sophomore record, Bewitched (2023), and becoming Spotify’s most-streamed jazz artist in 2022.
In this arrangement, we weave together two of our favorite songs from her discography (along with a tiny Undertale surprise), as voted on by the orchestra and arranged by three of our members. “Let You Break My Heart Again,” originally recorded by Laufey with the Philharmonia Orchestra, features sweeping string textures and introspective harmonies in a melancholic meditation on heartbreak. On the other hand, “Lovesick” combines a pulsing, anthemic energy with yearning harmonies, evoking feelings of intense longing and passion. Together, the two songs form a journey through the highs and lows of romance, as told by today’s biggest voice in jazz.

Røttu Skógvarnir
Music by Eivør Pálsdóttir
Arranged by Michael Lee ′24
Conducted by Mitchell Dubin ‘25
ABOUT THE WORK
Røttu Skógvarnir (Right Shoes) is a song by Faroese singer Eivør Pálsdóttir (b. 1983). Much like Eivors other songs, Røttu Skógvarnir is a mix of unique electronica, pop, and folk. The poetic lyrics talk about “taking some time to find the right shoes,” which highlights expressing patience to those around us who get left behind as they find their footing in life. The song is part of an album Slør (2015), sung in Faroese, which Eivor released alongside an English language album Bridges (2015). While writing songs for both, Eivor said,[it] kept coming to me in such a manner that I would write a lyric in English and straight afterwards a lyric in Faroese would arrive – a kind of mirror image or reflection. Most of the songs were written together in pairs. The albums are therefore two different works yet also a unity. This has been my dream project for over 2 years now. Eivør had her first performance televised when she was 13. She has won musical awards in Iceland (2007) and her home the Faroe Islands (2012). Her songs are gradually reaching international success, as she recently signed with the French-American record label Season of Mist.
