Prepare to beam with P-R-I-D-E! Beaming with Pride celebrates, embraces, and spotlights songs by LGBTQ musicians or allies.  Here, we provide background and insight into musicians, analyze, plus go gaga over the decadent bops served up.  When songs dictate deeper and more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is fully articulated.  All styles of music are welcome, whether the songs are classics or brand-new. So, without further ado, in the 15th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Cereals” performed by LUKAS OSCAR.

“As I’m going under / Don’t need one to feed me my cereals.”
That is a unique lyric, isn’t it? Well, LUKAS OSCAR is a unique, queer pop artist, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! “Cereals” is the name of the song, though the breakfast food has little to do with the content of the song. “Cereals” is the second track on OSCAR’s 2026 album, Everything’s Built To Last.  It should be noted, OSCAR asserts, “I’m irresponsibly serious…” Let that set in!

Beyond the cereals lyric excerpted earlier, there are plenty of memorable, eyebrow-raising lines. The lyric from the chorus that earns the song the parental advisory, explicit lyrics sticker contains a sexual f-bomb: “Don’t need one who loves me / Want someone who fucks me right.” 😶 Or is the line really 100% sexual 🤔?  OSCAR provides more context as he continues singing, “Over when I least expect it / And therefore I’ll / Give my heart to someone who’ll break it.” Clever, seems like he’s fucked either way… Later, the recurring lyrics feature more unique vocal effects. “Cereals” is thought-provoking, a characteristic that LUKAS OSCAR’s music always seems to reflect.
