Perfume Genius has unveiled one last preview of what to expect from his upcoming album ‘Glory’ (set to release this Friday, March 28) with the track ‘Clean Heart’ - a reflective and gently optimistic piece that follows his recent singles ‘It’s A Mirror’ and the collaboration with Aldous Harding titled ‘No Front Teeth’. To mark the album’s release, the versatile artist, known as Mike Hadreas, will perform in Manchester this weekend as the headliner of BBC Radio 6 Music’s annual festival, and he will also kick off a US tour this summer. You can explore the realm of ‘Glory’ by picking up a copy of DIY’s March 2025 print magazine, where we have a conversation with Mike about Riverdale, existential concerns, and more - and listen to ‘Clean Heart’ below.
