Bronze Avery (cover image for SOFTMETAL) Fast-rising pop artist Bronze Avery has released his debut album SOFTMETAL, which explores the often-harsh realities of modern romance while giving us a way to dance through any feelings. Capturing a period of time where Bronze has felt most himself within his music, SOFTMETAL soundtracks the queer experience and draws on queer sensuality to abandon the stereotypes placed on LGBTQ+ people of color, inspire people to be their authentic selves, and stand in a space that doesn’t always welcome it. Writing and producing much of it by himself to ensure it is unmistakably his own, SOFTMETAL reminds us that it’s as beautiful to let people into your life as it is to also give them the ability to walk out. Bronze has also unveiled the lyric video for “CRASH DESIRE,” an ode to UK garage and the dance scene which balances the desire to go fast in life with knowing that it’s not sustainable and you’re setting yourself up to crash. https://youtu.be/mj1FmFogfpI “When I think of this song, I think of Summer 2021 and how things were starting to really ramp up in my world,” shares Bronze. “My situationship was going too well and I was going out and seeing as many people as it felt safe,” shares the artist. “I truly felt like I was on top of the world, but I knew I was going way too fast and would crash. ‘CRASH DESIRE’ goes into how the idea of going too fast is horrifying, but somehow still alluring and desirable.” “CRASH DESIRE” follows the breezy lead single “FIGURE IT OUT,” which rejects the emotional labor of toxic push-pull relationship dynamics and embraces the freedom of no longer being burdened by something that diminishes your self-worth. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Chur3ugpFZN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link “FIGURE IT OUT” was followed “OVER (AND OVER),” a danceable, introspective pop bop about a cyclical relationship that never seems to end that lends a softer, more wistful tone to the steelier songs on SOFTMETAL. SOFTMETAL is available on all major music platforms for download and streaming. https://www.instagram.com/p/ClCLdIcy257/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
