Laufey teases new MV
Laufey released a teaser for her 'Madwoman' music video that features skater Alysa Liu, KATSEYE’s Megan and actress Lola Tung — the clip pulled about 33K likes and is already fueling fan chatter. (x.com) Those cameo names suggest a cross‑audience push — skating, fashion and TV fans — which often widens streaming pickup after release. (x.com)
Laufey’s new “Madwoman” trailer is only 24 seconds long, but it already names the full cast: Alysa Liu, Megan Skiendiel from KATSEYE, Lola Tung, and Hudson Williams, with the full video set to premiere Monday, April 13, at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. (youtube.com) That cast is unusually mixed for one pop video. Alysa Liu comes from figure skating, Lola Tung broke out through the television series “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Megan Skiendiel is part of the girl group KATSEYE, and Hudson Williams is an actor. (youtube.com) The song sits inside Laufey’s new release cycle for “A Matter of Time: The Final Hour,” which arrived on April 10. The trailer description ties “Madwoman” directly to that project instead of treating it like a one-off single. (youtube.com) Laufey has spent the last year building this album era with polished visual rollouts, including official videos for songs like “Silver Lining.” That makes this teaser look less like a casual post and more like the next planned chapter in the same campaign. (youtube.com) Alysa Liu’s appearance lands at a moment when her name is traveling well beyond skating media. Coverage this week tied her to a viral TikTok with Laufey and then to the “Madwoman” video almost immediately after. (usmagazine.com) Lola Tung brings in a different audience entirely. She is still closely associated with Amazon Prime Video’s “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” so her face in the trailer gives the clip an instant connection to young television viewers who may not follow figure skating or KATSEYE. (justjared.com) Megan Skiendiel adds a global pop angle because KATSEYE was built as an international girl group, not a local indie act. Putting her in the same frame as Liu and Tung makes the video feel cast like a crossover event instead of a standard performance clip. (youtube.com) The trailer also credits Warren Fu as director and Molly Long for choreography. Those two details suggest the final video is likely to lean on stylized movement and a strong visual concept, not just close-ups of Laufey singing the track. (youtube.com) So the teaser is doing two jobs at once before the full video even arrives on April 13. It is introducing “Madwoman” as the next visual from Laufey’s April 10 project, and it is using four recognizable guest names to make fans from music, television, acting, and skating all show up for the same premiere.
