Laufey on why A Matter of Time is her ‘most confident' album and being an Asian role model
Long before the Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey became recognised the world over for her neoclassical-jazz-meets-pop music, she was a student answering a familiar yearbook prompt: 'Where do you see yourself in 10 years?' Advertisement Her answer: move to the United States, sign a record deal and win a Grammy. The 26-year-old has done all three. 'I must have been so confident to write that because I remember that being a very far-sought kind of thing,' the musician born Laufey Lin Jonsdottir says. Those are not her only accomplishments: She has collaborated with Barbra Streisand and shared the stage with Hozier, Noah Kahan and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Laufey says her goal is to encourage young people to learn instruments and explore their own sound. Photo: Instagram/laufey Laufey's third album, A Matter of Time, out August 22, is an unexpected nonconformist to the rules of contemporary pop, pulling inspiration from country and Icelandic folk music as well as classical and bossa nova sounds.

Chinese studio behind Black Myth: Wukong plans new game featuring Taoist ghost hunter
The Chinese video game studio behind the global hit Black Myth: Wukong, which played a role in shifting Beijing's attitude on the gaming industry, has begun developing a new title featuring a Taoist ghost hunter from Chinese folklore. Hangzhou-based Game Science, whose Wukong featured the Monkey King from the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, said it had started developing a follow-up title called Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The announcement was made at Gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany. Feng Ji, the studio's founder, said the new title would feature 'a new hero, new gameplay, new visuals, new technology, and a new story', even though it would still be a single player console game. A short video demonstration of the game had received more than 9 million views on Chinese game fan platform Bilibili as of Wednesday afternoon. Black Myth: Zhong Kui was also one of the most searched terms on Chinese social media Weibo on Wednesday, with more than 300 million people discussing the topic.
