Tim has answered very well, Wikipedia says "The genre of Laufey's music has been debated. She calls it jazz or jazz pop, while organisations such as National Public Radio, the New York Times, and The Sydney Morning Herald have noted that her music includes elements of jazz, pop, bossa nova, and classical, describing the entirety as traditional pop or old-time pop due to the blend of styles."Quote:

She's a classic cellist, orginally, and came to prominence in Icelands Got Talent - that's the country, not the store - I shudder to think what we'd get if it was the latter!
