SET MY HEART ON FIRE IMMEDIATELY
Mike Hadreas, better known as the performer, Perfume Genius, has spent his career creating boldly, theatrical pop music that never shied away from intimate details involving his life as a queer artist. Last year, the thirty-eight year old singer had worked with choreographer, Kate Wallich on a dance project called "The Sun Still Burns Here" which he wrote music. This collaboration helped inspire songs for his fifth studio album, "Set My Heart On Fire Immediately" and changed his approach on how he created his songs, opening himself up with others present instead of first working on his music in an isolated way. And the songs here remain dramatic, filled with odd sounds, dark themes and aggressive energy yet also gentle and deeply emotional. Hadreas has decided to incorporate dance in to the videos for some of the songs which pay tribute to the homoerotic cinematic works by Claire Denis and Derek Jarman, particularly with the clip for "On The Floor" which the singer impressively dances with wild, sensual abandon. Here are some sights and sounds from the new album so you can completely experience the artistry of Perfume Genius:
