Hudson Williams, Alysa Liu Shine in Laufey’s “Madwoman” Music Video
Laufey has released a new video for “Madwoman,” a track on the deluxe edition of her 2025 album A Matter of Time. The short film brings together actors, musicians, and an Olympic champion for a stylized, retro set piece.
Visual approach and influences
Director Warren Fu leaned into 1960s aesthetics for the clip. He referenced photographers and films like Slim Aarons and In the Mood for Love. The production also echoes the advertising-era style of Mad Men.
One shot deliberately mirrors the iconic rear view from Mad Men’s opening credits. The image underlines the video’s nostalgia and cinematic mood.
