In an interview with Pink News, Burnside reflects on how the music industry has changed since he stepped away from his days in the boy band 3D. “Things are very different now,” says Burnside. “We just saw Lil Nas X kiss a man on the BET Awards, and while I think that still sends shockwaves through the Black community and through the hip-hop community, it’s so important – and it’s possible [for him to do that] now. We saw BET get behind it in a way that I don’t think they would have five years ago.” “Now, there’s more space now for me to create the music that I want to make, to talk about what I want to talk about, to put the visuals out in the world that I want to put out, without being told it’s career suicide,” he added. “I think people are starting to get it.”
The 32-year-old artist also notes that queer artists still face a sort of censoring of male on male sexuality. “I push back against that,” shares the singer. “And that’s what I’m saying with ‘Heaven’ – that sex between men is not dirty. It’s holy, it’s sacred, it’s pure. I can relate it to my relationship with God because for me, it’s a spiritual experience.” Check out Burnside’s new single, “Heaven,” along with some posts from his Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQzPJZ-L1Iz/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJxF1DLail/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link https://www.instagram.com/p/CN_HzffrQVD/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
