Seattle-based solo artist&nbsp;Mike Hadreas aka Perfume Genius has impressed us before with his experimental approach towards his performative&nbsp;flamboyance and Die 4 You is no different.The intimate song has been paired with this beautiful dance video directed by&nbsp;Floria Sigismondi&nbsp;featuring a gnarled, contorted scultpure by&nbsp;Rosa Verloop. The dancer and singer professes his deep, indestructible love while hovering in a&nbsp;gravity defying movement, with a very slowed down&nbsp;Cabaret-style&nbsp;of dance in sequined fashion and dramatic makeup.&nbsp;It&#39;s an a remarkably minimal&nbsp;dance&nbsp;executed beautifully alongside other elements such as intermittent light, fluid camera movement, smoke and suspended chairs in space&nbsp;to heighten the sense of the artist&#39;s&nbsp;vulnerability and surrender.&nbsp;

Perfume Genius 'Die 4 You' by Floria Sigismondi

Perfume Genius - 'Die 4 You' (Official Video)

Sounding like Martha Reeves and looking like James Brown - that's a hell of a combination. 
And the joy of Wendy Morgan's video for Janelle Monáe's Tightrope is how the slightly weird and surreal - with a tribute to a recent Yeasayer video - sits comfortably with a compelling song and dance performance. Superb.
