[usr 4] 

Black gay artist, intellectual, and activist Lazarus Lynch delivers a short but must-hear LGBTQ+ gem with “Black Queer Anthem.”

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”S” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”]afe to say, 🎙 Lazarus Lynch is fearless.  Honestly, more people should have the fearlessness and bravery of this self-described black gay artist, intellectual, and activist.  A prime example of his fearlessness is his assertive, bold new single, 🎵 “Black Queer Anthem”.  The title alone is enough to make conservatives, homophobes, and racists cringe in sheer ire.  I’m pretty sure Lynch is like, ‘bring it on.’[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]

“Black Queer Anthem” only runs two-minutes-and-change, but that is ample time for Lynch to share both black and queer pride alike.  Honestly, it is an intriguing listen that latches instantly.  The vocals are distorted intentionally, adding a gritty tone to support Lazarus’ cause – thoughtful musical, activist move.  Furthermore, the production is anchored by hard, pummeling drums that scream and incite a march for justice.  The groove is enough to feel this track, sparking body movement but also passion. Lyrically, Lynch keeps it repetitive and simple, constructing a surefire vibe, call for action, and empowering the black, queer army.  Hopefully, allies join the cause as well as Lazarus is preaching good stuff.

Final Thoughts 💭

To be incredibly simple, “Black Queer Anthem” speaks volumes.  Again, when you have such a bold title, there is no way that the content of the song can possibly disappoint.  Queer artists are still coming into their own, let alone black queer artists – a double minority if you will. Thankfully, Lazarus Lynch constructs a perfect, necessary anthem to exhibit pride for being true to self without hesitation or reservations.  We all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, religion, or political affiliation, need to take a page out of this man’s book.
