## Resource

This week's episode celebrates the anthemic song 'Queen' by Perfume Genius.  Singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas aka Perfume Genius first emerged around 2010, his music has been described as ‘dreamy and melancholic’, ‘grandiose yet intimate’ and over the course of seven studio albums he continues to shapeshift while still sounding completely himself. He joins Jake to talk about the making of the song, the video, his creative process, influences and his brilliant latest album 'Glory'. Perfume Genius is currently on tour in the UK before heading to Australia. He is playing at the Roundhouse in London on the 11th of November - check his website for other shows.  https://perfumegenius.org/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
