Role Model, Laufey Release 'The Longest Goodbye' Video Globally

Role Model (Tucker Pillsbury) released a black-and-white music video for the duet version of "The Longest Goodbye" featuring Grammy winner Laufey, directed by Neema Sadeghi. The video showcases the artists sharing a microphone and performing with a vintage band, capturing the raw and vulnerable emotion of the song, which originally appeared as a solo track on the deluxe edition of Role Model's album Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye). Role Model described the video as an authentic recording session without lip-syncing, emphasizing the song’s heartfelt and timeless quality, which Laufey’s vocals helped to elevate. The duet was inspired by their live performance together during Role Model’s recent LA show, leading to a studio recording. The song and video have been promoted globally, including premieres on MTV's worldwide network and the Paramount Times Square billboards, coinciding with the ongoing sold-out No Place Like Tour, which continues into the UK and Europe. Role Model’s album marks a maturation in his songwriting and style, blending folk-tinged alt-pop with emotional depth, supported by millions of streams and extensive touring success.
