Bronze Avery has released his infectious new single Only You. Speaking to GayTimes, the American singer-songwriter said the R&B, trap-influenced track is primarily about self-love, but can also apply to love for a “a partner, a family member, a hyper crush, and anything in between.”
The song, which was written and produced by Bronze, has received a stunning visual which he co-directed with long-time collaborator Justin Gilbert. He also crafted the graphics and choreographed the dance.
“I’m super proud that we were able to create this during COVID-19,” he says. “It’s important that people know that Black individuals can take the driver’s seat with their artistry and get super creative with their available resources and no budget.”
Bronze was hesitant to release the single this week due to the protests that have erupted in cities across the US – and the world – following the murder of George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man who was murdered by a white police officer.
Bronze says the uprising of the Black Lives Matter movement forced him to address systemic racism, white supremacy and police brutality in his everyday life by having “hard conversations with friends and collaborators.”
“My entire community is hurting, but inspired to make necessary change. I wasn’t sure if I was going to continue with the rollout, but I’ve been urged by many that they want to amplify and hear the words of Black voices. I decided that there isn’t ever going to be a “better” time as I hope this conversation around systemic racism continues.”
