In the 14th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Lubed” performed by openly gay musician and visual artist Seth Bogart featuring Jeremiah Nadya.
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 14th edition of Beaming with Pride (2026), we highlight “Lubed” performed by Seth Bogart.

“Lubed” catches the ear from the get-go. It begins with electronic sound effects that are unique and arcade-like. Set in a major key, this lo-fi cut sounds bright, in a muted sort of way. The warm synths, rhythmic drum programming, and synth bass create a sweet backdrop for Seth Bogart. Bogart brings the heat, albeit calm, cool, and collected, with his sweet, boyish vocals. Interestingly, there’s a sense of innocence. The lyrics are not that innocent, even if they’re breezy, summery, and non-explicit.
“Now that we’re here, what you wanna do
If you need another hint
Then I could give you two
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
No matter what, I’m gonna get to you.”
Contributing to the easy-going nature of “Lubed” are the tuneful melodies. The crème de la crème is the chorus, excerpted earlier, with its simple but unforgettable lyrics. As “Lubed” progresses, it grows more overt yet maintains a hypnotic nature. Towards the end of the record, I love the vocals effects that arrive via the “Love to lube ya, baby.” Beyond the song, a vibe in its own right, the music video that accompanies “Lubed” is a sight to behold, too. Part of the sight is titillating… I mean, rubbing a fit, hot, nude body with lube… It makes you feel certain things. Seth Bogard shines on this decade-old LGBTQ+ song that still sounds F-R-E-S-H.
