Los Angeles singer-songwriter Rett Madison releases new single “Fortune Teller"
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Rett Madison has unveiled their new single “Fortune Teller" today.
The accompanying music video, which can be seen below, was directed by Joelle Grace Taylor (Kaytranada, Ariana Greenblatt, Rob Lowe) with choreography done by Carlena Britch (Justin Bieber, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani).
Madison said this about the new song and visual:
“While I’m no longer a religious person, I still consider myself to be very spiritual. A few months after I lost my mom, I sought out psychics and mediums because I was curious if anyone could connect to my mother’s spirit. I was really seeking comfort and reassurance at the time.
I wrote ‘Fortune Teller’ after an emotional reading with my friend and psychic medium, Natalie James Taylor, who also plays the role of the infomercial psychic in the music video. It was a full circle moment to have Natalie on set. She’s brought me comfort and clarity during our readings over the past few years and has helped me connect with my mother in spirit. Natalie is incredibly gifted and kind, and I’m so excited that she makes a cameo in the music video.
When I started to imagine concepts for the music video, I had a distant memory of an infomercial for a psychic hotline that I must have seen on television when I’d stay up past my bedtime as a kid. I really wanted the video to feel lighthearted and fun in contrast to the lyrics so recreating 90s infomercials felt like a perfect match.”
Madison will have their first headlining show in the U.K. at The Slaughtered Lamb in London on September 2. On September 21, the artist will embark on a trek across the country with Medium Build. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
