Laufey charms listeners with “Mr. Eclectic,” a beautifully crafted song from her third studio album A Matter of Time, dropping August 22, 2025, through Vingolf Recordings and AWAL. This track features poetic lyrics combined with gentle melodies and jazzy instrumentation, showcasing Laufey’s signature introspective storytelling style. It’s about seeing through someone’s self-important façade—specifically a man who tries to impress with poetic quotes and highbrow references but fails to connect on a real level. The song’s vibe is sassy and confident, with a retro, jazzy feel that’s both charming and cheeky.
Unlike the romantic Lover Girl or introspective Snow White from the same album, Mr. Eclectic channels the sassy defiance of Let You Break My Heart Again from Bewitched, but with a bolder, jazzier edge. Produced by Spencer Stewart, it showcases Laufey’s shift to raw vulnerability in her most confident project yet. This track is like a witty comeback set to a sultry beat—pure Laufey swagger! Sway to Mr. Eclectic lyrics below, and revel in Laufey’s sharp-tongued charm.
Lyrics of Mr. Eclectic by Laufey
[Verse 1]
Bet You Think You’re So Poetic
Quoting Epics And Ancient Prose
Truth Be Told, You’re Quite Pathetic
Mister Eclectic Allan Poe
[Chorus]
Did You Ever Stop And Give A Wonder To
Who Just Who You Were Talking To?
The Very Expert On The Foolish Things
That Men Have Said To Woo And Win Me Over
What A Poser, You Think You’re So Interesting
[Post-Chorus]
Pum-pum, Pa-ra, Pum
[Verse 2]
Twist My Hair Around Your Finger
Oh, Grandiose Thinker Of Mine
Talking ’bout Some Dead Composer
You’re Just A Stoner Patronizing Me
[Chorus]
Did You Ever Stop And Give A Wonder To
Who Just Who You Were Talking To?
The Very Expert On The Foolish Things
That Men Have Said To Woo And Win Me Over
What A Poser, You Think You’re So Interesting
[Outro]
Mm-mm, Mm
Pa-ra-ra-rum, Pa-ra-ra-rum
Pum-ra-ra-ra
Pa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra (Ooh)
Pa-ra-rum, Pa-ra-rum
