Perfume Genius – “Natural High”
Sometimes, indie rock types write music for dance performances, and it's usually pretty fair to slot that music into the minor-works category of their discographies. Nobody is like, "Yeah, Illinois is cool, but I think Sufjan Stevens' best shit is the music that he writes for ballet."

Perfume Genius frontman Mike Hadreas has unveiled his latest single, "Natural High," a track from his upcoming project The Lesson. This collaboration with choreographer Kate Wallich will bring to life a stage performance inspired by the novel and film The Piano Teacher. The single, co-produced by Fashion Club's Pascal Stevenson, marks the first new music from Hadreas since his 2025 album Glory.
The Lesson's tour schedule includes shows in North Adams, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, London, Utrecht, Dublin, Minneapolis, and Seattle.
