Hudson Williams joins Laufey for ‘madwoman’ music video debut

Canadian actor Hudson Williams is set to appear in Laufey’s upcoming music video for “madwoman,” scheduled for release on April 13.

The video also features Olympic figure skater Alysa Liu, actress Lola Tung and KATSEYE member Megan Skiendiel, forming a diverse, cross-industry ensemble.

Laufey, known for blending jazz, classical and pop influences, has gained global recognition for her distinctive sound and cinematic visuals. Teasers for the “madwoman” video suggest a stylised and narrative-driven production, with the artist describing the project as “just some mad madwomen,” hinting at dramatic storytelling.

Williams, who rose to prominence through his role in the series Heated Rivalry, brings growing star power to the project. His recent recognition, including a nomination at the Canadian Screen Awards, has positioned him as a rising figure in film and television.

The inclusion of Liu, an Olympic figure skating champion, alongside established and emerging actors reflects a broader trend of cross-disciplinary collaborations in music visuals. The “madwoman” video is expected to build on Laufey’s previous work, which has drawn attention for its vintage aesthetic and strong narrative elements.

With anticipation building online, the April 13 release is expected to attract significant global viewership across platforms.
