Perfume Genius 'Set My Heart on Fire Immediately'

On 'Set My Heart On Fire Immediately', Perfume Genius expands his emotional and sonic reach, crafting a sweeping, deeply personal album that interrogates masculinity, desire, and embodiment. Reuniting with producer Blake Mills, Mike Hadreas is joined by a cast of renowned musicians including Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, and Matt Chamberlain. The result is a lush, genre-spanning collection rooted in American musical traditions while unafraid to bend or break them.

From the radiant pop of “On the Floor” to the ghostly waltz of “One More Try” and the baroque textures of “Jason,” the album shifts between intimacy and grandeur with ease. Steel guitars, harpsichords, and Balearic rhythms pulse beneath Hadreas’ signature vulnerability, building a mythology that is entirely his own. 'Set My Heart On Fire Immediately' is a bold and luminous work—tender, physical, and powerfully self-authored.
