JAKARTA - Grammy Award-winning soloist Icelandic-Chinese, Laufey welcomed the Christmas and New Year's moments with a special offering. This time, he added a cover for the classic song, "Get Rid of Baby" in his Christmas album catalog, 'A Very Laufey Holiday'.

This redistribution is packaged aesthetically with a video clip starring Laufey himself and also features Bill Murray as the eclipse, as well as Isabella Boylston, lead dancer from the American Ballet Theater, who performed with the arrangement dancer with the choreography created by Alex Wong - the figure behind So You Think You Can Dance, The Greatest Showman and also Smash.

"I am very happy to be able to continue to add my favorite Christmas song that I have made in my version to compilation of 'A Very Laufey Holiday', one of which is 'Keep Baby'. Making this version very fun, and the video clip that we have worked on together is the perfect visual representation for the song. We are very lucky to be able to present Bill Murray and Isabella Boylston from American Ballet in this video clip to make the story more lively and fun, "explained Laufey in a press release received by VOI, November 4.

Laufey's musical work has become a hallmark of the Christmas holiday season. 'A Very Laufey Holiday' first appeared in 2021 with the release of Love To Keep Me Warm with Dodie, then The Christmas Waltz in 2022, and Christmas Dreaming in 2023. In addition, last year, Norah Jones invited Laufey for a collaboration in his Christmas holiday release 'Christmas With You' which includes Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and their new song collaboration entitled Better Than Snow.

Cover "Done Baby" was also lined up as a introduction to the album 'A Very Laufey Holiday' for the first time released in vinyl form. Each available vinyl contains two of the four Christmas songs that have been covered by Laufey, and both will be available as part of a box set of limited editions in Laufey's online store. This box set has an expanded physical design, where fans can add other Laufey Christmas songs to their collection every year.

In addition, Laufey's first concert film, 'Laufey's A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl', will be available for limited screenings in theaters and IMAX starting December 6. Recorded in the city where Laufey now lives, Los Angeles, this film is directed by Sam Marijuch, who is known for his work at 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour'.

The film will feature Laufey collaborating with Los Angeles Philharmonic on the iconic stage of the Hollywood Bowl, which was once one of Laufey's favorite musicians, Ella totaling a gig. The film also offers a lot of behind-the-scenes footage that will provide important moments towards this Laufey monumental show. As stated by Variety, Laufey seems to be born to play at the Hollywood Bowl."
