Perfume Genius has released a new video for 'Me & Angel', filmed on the street where he lives
The album 'Glory' is nominated for Best Album Cover Grammy Award.
Perfume Genius, the musical project of Mike Hadreas, has released a new video for the track 'Me & Angel', featured on his album 'Glory'.
The video is directed by Otium and showcases a personal glimpse into Hadreas's life. Hadreas shares, “Me & Angel is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever made. I wrote it very quickly one night, kind of suddenly and with the entire melody and lyric coming together almost immediately. So I never had to revisit the demo. Taking it to the studio though was difficult, I had to do a lot of takes because I was getting so emotional. That has never happened before. The video is us on the street where we live by our house.”
Following his recent tour with a full band, Perfume Genius has announced a new "Duo Tour" for Spring 2026, featuring Hadreas and Alan Wyffels, a long-time collaborator. Hadreas explains, “Alan was the first person I ever sang in front of. We’ve played every single show together for 15 years. When we started it was just him and I, perched on our keyboards at the front of the stage. I miss a lot of those older songs and how intense they could be with just the two of us. We’re excited to go back there. We want to sing stripped down versions of newer songs as well and write some new music altogether to play as a duo.”
