With the next Perfume Genius album Set My Heart On Fire Immediately due in the spring, its latest single On The Floor has been premiered.
“A crush can really live on its own, separate from you and the person you are pining for,” Mike Hadreas AKA has said of it.
“The fantasy feels like its own world, obsession can turn the person you are longing for in to a monument that has less and less to do with them and more to do with the idea of love itself and what it can do, what it can soothe or quiet or light on fire. I wanted to show that maddening, solitary part of desire but keep the core which is a real warmth and belief that you have something crucial to share with each other.”
Hadreas also said he wanted to ‘feel more open, more free and spiritually wild’ on the album, which is due on May 15th.
