About this album

Set My Heart On Fire Immediately is a sharply realised art-pop statement from Perfume Genius, balancing vulnerability with theatrical scale. Released in 2020, the album broadened his sound with fuller arrangements, brighter melodic hooks and a striking sense of dramatic movement, while keeping Mike Hadreas’ intimate writing at its centre. Building on the acclaim for No Shape, it was praised for its emotional clarity and confident range, moving from fragile confession to exuberant release without losing focus. The result is one of his most celebrated records, and a key modern example of indie pop that feels both personal and grand.
