Laufey is bringing back ‘70s glamour in her star-studded new music video.
On Monday, April 13, the jazz-pop star, 26, released the music video for her song “Madwoman,” from the deluxe version of her third studio album A Matter of Time: The Final Hour. In the video, Laufey teams up with fellow half-Asian stars Alysa Liu, Hudson Williams, Lola Tung and KATSEYE’s Megan Skiendiel as they step into an eerie, picture-perfect 1970s dreamscape.
After introducing each of her guest stars in a way that resembles the groovy opening of a 1970s movie or sitcom, the Heated Rivalry star, 25, joins Laufey for a cup of tea — during which he attempts to slyly cover up a magazine article about him and an ex, who just so happens to be Havana Rose Liu.

Ultimately, the video explores the picture-perfect illusion of her and Williams’ relationship,
blows a kiss at the camera. Chase Sui Wonders even makes a cameo on one of the magazine covers that Tung, 23, tries to hide herself behind. Which ends with a proposal as her guest stars watch on with vacant expressions — even as the Grammy winner waves her hands in front of her faces.
When Laufey then attempts to drive out of the town, she reaches the end of a road that falls off into a black abyss before re-entering a cookie-cutter house to find Williams waiting for her with a cigarette.
