Perfume Genius on Love Island, Addison Rae, and Trimming His Bush With a Pocket Knife

When Perfume Genius, rocking a cropped shirt and low-rise jeans, teased what was in store for his 2025 Glory Tour with a performance on The Tonight Show earlier this year, no one expected his pubes to be the star of the show. Unfortunately, national television wasn’t quite ready for the moment, and they ended up blurred. Later on, the 43-year-old singer-songwriter born Mike Hadreas revealed that he’d tried trimming them with a pocket knife, but his bush just wouldn’t budge.

That kind of chaos captures the spirit of the Glory Tour as a whole. Genius throws a chair across the stage and tackles a yoga ball, his melancholic vocals drifting over the band’s lush live arrangements in a celebration of the self-destructive urges that live in all of us. “I think everything’s so fucked right now that you can just feel the energy in the air of people really needing to feel crazy in a safe way,” he told us on a call earlier this month before heading to Japan to play the Fuji Rock Festival. Below, Genius takes us inside his Glory summer, from his creative partnership with Alan Wyffels, his boyfriend and collaborator of 16 years, to a chance encounter with Charli xcx’s dog.

Addison Rae Writhes On The Dance Floor In Sombr's "12 To 12"

Addison Rae is officially a video vixen. On July 24, rising star Sombr released the video for his latest single “12 To 12,” in which he taps Rae to play his love interest.

In the video, Sombr is being interviewed on a late-night talk show — by himself in a wig, mind you — when he spots Rae sitting among the live studio audience. The “Fame Is A Gun” singer sports a black halter-top midi-dress and a sparkly temporary tattoo on her shoulder. Sombr croons, “In a room full of people, I look for you” as Rae spins, sways, and writhes on a checkered dance floor all by herself (this time, she’s in a red striped number and black booty shorts). By the end, the room is packed to the brim with club rats and a fancy vintage car, but that doesn’t stop the lovers from finding their way to each other. They lean in for a kiss, but the video cuts before their lips make contact.

Madonna: Veronica Electronica review – Ray of Light rarities range from perfect to perfunctory

(Warner)Much anticipated set of remixes and lost songs give a glimpse of a great pop mind trying out new tricks

It’s hard to overstate the impact of Ray of Light, Madonna’s seventh album. Released in 1998, it totally reshaped Madonna’s career, embracing trip-hop, electronica and Britpop and essentially proving to an unfriendly public that she was one of pop’s great auteurs. It spawned one of her biggest singles – the haunting power ballad Frozen – and its title track is still a staple of radio and DJ playlists. In the past few years, many of contemporary and underground pop’s most significant names – including Caroline Polachek, Addison Rae, a.s.o., Shygirl and FKA twigs – have referenced Ray of Light, whether directly or indirectly. It’s a fool’s errand to try to make a case for the best or most significant Madonna album – she has at least five strong contenders – but if there’s a consensus pick, it’s Ray of Light.
