It\u2019s not just background, it\u2019s mood \u2013 by the way, adding to the cooking playlist is probably the highest compliment I can give a song.<\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<p>Before we continue, though, because I think we could all use the reminder, her name is not pronounced \u201cLow-fee\u201d or \u201cLay-fay\u201d. The first syllable rhymes with the (proper) French pronunciation of \u201cfeuille\u201d and the last syllable is \u201cvay\u201d. Here she is with Kelly Clarkson last year explaining how her name is said in Icelandic and also blowing everyone\u2019s mind about how Bj\u00f6rk\u2019s name is pronounced.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-embed-card\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Laufey Hilariously Teaches Kelly Clarkson How To Say Her Name \u2014 And Bj\u00f6rk\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wqPvHNZeLGY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<p>For a while now, Laufey\u2019s been manifesting a Wasian super assembly \u2013 hoping to gather together the cohort of Wasian late-Millennial\/Gen Z talent taking over pop culture: Chase Sui Wonders, Havana Rose Liu, Alysa Liu, Megan Skiendiel (from Katseye), Lola Tung, and of course Hudson Williams. She has succeeded in recruiting four out of the six for her new music video for the song \u201cMadwoman\u201d, and Chase and Havana show up via magazine covers, probably their schedules didn\u2019t allow.<\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a celebration of their biracial identity, an example of how their generation is embracing all the parts of themselves and finding community. There is Asian representation through the video, including behind-the-scenes, with director Warren Fu, and so many subtle and not-so-subtle Asian references. The most obvious would be Laufey in a cheongsam while on a date with Hudson. The less obvious is Megan\u2019s rounded jade bangle, which so many aunties would recognise by looking down at their own arm. My ma is never without a jade bangle.<\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-begin: html--><\/p>\n<p><!--kg-card-end: html--><\/p>\n<p>As for their collective Avengers status \u2013 I mean, look at the year that all of these stars have had. Hudson Williams, of course, with <em>Heated Rivalry<\/em>; Meghan and Katseye were just nominated at the Grammys and performed on the show; Alysa won gold at the Olympics\u2026 and now they\u2019re all in one place, stylised like it\u2019s <em>Don\u2019t Worry Darling<\/em>, with that sinister undercurrent, as Laufey struggles with her addiction to a tool of a man, played by Hudson, with the support and then the betrayal of her girlfriends.
