Genius is an understatement. Most underrated artist I can think of right now.

[@etherealbonds]

He seems to be a very beautiful and warm person

[@bernardomunoz5746]

Im astounded by how he looks like a teenager lol Give us the skin routine Btw great interview, been in love with his work for quite a lot

[@AlxRo66]

SMHOF is my favourite album of 2020. Gorgeous, fantastic music.

[@sk1design]

Started when he was 25? Incredible. SMHOF is brilliant...

[@Koshirozation]

I am just listening to the new album. Lots of fuzzy dramatic, vulnerable and heartbreaking yet joyful and amazing songs like "whole life", "jason", "describe" listening to nick drake really helps indeed, thank you for the video and the effort, hope you're well!!!

[@nitedreamer23]

Keltner AND Palladino? No wonder it sounds so great!

[@hotemogirlfriend]

Perfume Genius was successful for creating a world for me. Everytime I listen to "SMHOFI" I get comfort with my melancholy.. Perfume Genius owns my sadness and I own his Vinyl •́ ‿ ,•̀

[@EvaQuielIon]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS

[@lisacolbert5987]

I can’t recall on which cuts atm but there are a few that I could hear the Cocteau Twins or just Elizabeth Fraser with This Mortal Coil. A chord progression or 3 that seemed just about lifted directly from a CTs song. Back ‘when’ it would’ve bugged me, but MH mentions the influence and doesn’t seem to be wanting to hide it. To pretend as though they were his.

[@matti8453]

oh ur perfume genius? Name every perfume

[@volpemarroneveloce5928]

me: ... the voice in my head: 5:57

[@jainsworr]

Doesn’t look like a genius to me

[@jettgoforth6453]

Good thing he knows a little about music. You’re right though, from just this video I don’t know if he knows shit about perfume!
