album review: Perfume “PLASMA”
The world is no longer the world we knew back in 2018, when electronic-pop trio Perfume released their album “Future Pop”.

single review: Perfume “Time Warp”
Perfume is back! I repeat! This is not a drill! Perfume returns with a brand-new single, their first new release in 2020, and the very first physical single in over 2 years. For Perfume fans, like myself, this is amazing. Coming off the heels of a best-album tour and even taking part in Coachella, of…
