So, without further ado, in the 27^th edition of LGBTQ Bopz 🌈🎶 (2023), we highlight 🎵 “Danger Zone” performed by 🎙 Ryan.Song..

“Made you come over again / My hands wake up you senses.” Ooh-la-la, 🎙 Ryan.Song (Shuang Song) 😈! The queer musician, based in Amsterdam, pens music in the pop, dance, and R&B realm.  In his bio on Spotify, Song asserts, “I am dedicated to embodying equality, diversity, and inclusivity n my music.” That’s a mic drop right there! Furthermore, he adds, “I have always had a strong desire to empower and uplift my community and fellow LGBTQ+ individuals through my music and personal story.” Another mic drop! On 🎵 “Danger Zone”, Song makes us dance, and also, makes us want to do other things too (“Your eyes undressed me”).   

The production – Song and 🎛 Johannes Lemken –  and sound of “Danger Zone” is slick and superbly executed. The backdrop sufficiently captures a sexy experience. Part of what makes “Danger Zone” sexy is that it’s dangerous without being explicit. Sure, Ryan has invited this boy over again, and said boy is eye-f*cking him, but the experience is implied as opposed to graphically depicted. “Glowing / Our fingertips are glowing in the dark, I make the / Rain drop,” Song asserts in the memorable, tuneful chorus, adding the titular lyric, “You know that you are walking the danger zone.” WOO! Throughout the rest of this surefire bop, Ryan makes it clear the danger zone, asserting by the end, “Red lights flicker / Don’t resist them.” So, in other words, the big crash, like BOOM 💥 (or maybe 🍆 🍑) is imminent.  All told, Ryan.Song adds to the ever evolving LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 catalog with another BOP!
