BRONZE AVERY, DOG SAY? | Beaming with Pride

In the 75^th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “DOG SAY?” performed by queer black pop artist BRONZE AVERY.

Are you ready to beam with P-R-I-D-E? Beaming with Pride highlights songs by LGBTQ musicians and allies, offering background, analysis, and discussion of the decadent bops served up. All genres are welcome, and both classics and new songs are recognized. So, without further ado, in the 75^th  edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “DOG SAY?” performed by BRONZE AVERY.

Uh-oh, BRONZE AVERY (he/him)! So, let’s get this straight. Well, it’s gay, but you get the picture 🤭! This man is, um, simply irresistible, right? Yaas! But judging by the title, “DOG SAY?” this relationship, situationship, or whatever it is, is probably suspect… Even so, “Cause you’re doing things I can’t ignore / Right in my face / Opened the door / You got me bad.” Wow! The brief but intriguing “DOG SAY?” was written and produced by BRONZE AVERY, Shelby Archer, Paul Laliberte, and Jeffrey Laliberte.

“DOG SAY?” is short but incredibly sweet.  The production is sleek, with a solid beat, robust bass line, rhythmic guitar, and colorful keys. The handsome and talented BRONZE AVERY sings enthusiastically, showing off that ripe tenor to the fullest. He brings personality, personality, personality.  Also, enhancing “DOG SAY?” are pitch-shifted vocals (“What’s on top of your mouth / What do a dog say?”).  The song begins with the centerpiece, the chorus:

“My name’s on top of your mouth

You’re barking up the right house

All you wanna do is play

What do a dog say?”

As “DOG SAY?” continues, clearly BRONZE AVERY can’t leave this ‘dog’ alone, even though he should.  I mean, we are talking about man’s best friend, after all. See the second verse: “Got / My girlfriend on the line / She said / ‘Baby, what you’re doing you should leave him behind’ / I said / ‘Ain’t no way when he looks this fine today.’” There you have it! Not only does the heart want what it wants, but so does the body.  Can I get a woof-woof?! All in all, “DOG SAY?” is another surefire winner from BRONZE AVERY.  He brings great vocals, tuneful melodies, memorable lyrics, and superb production work to the track.
