โ€œBeen a friend to you for some time now / See how you hide from the world.โ€ Be prepared to #SLAY! LGBTQ Bopz ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŽถ embraces, highlights, and celebrates singles and tracks by LGBTQIA musicians or allies.ย  In this column, we provide background and insight into the respective musician(s), as well as analyze + go gaga over the decadent bops being served up.ย  Furthermore, when the music dictates deeper, more transcendent discussion, we ensure the point is articulated to the fullest.ย  All styles of music are welcome while the BOPZ can be classics or brand-spanking new. So, without further ado, in the 31st edition of LGBTQ Bopz ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŽถ (2023), we highlight ๐ŸŽต โ€œAbstract Artโ€ performed by ๐ŸŽ™ Wrabel.

Wrabel, Abstract Art [๐Ÿ“ท: Big Gay / Nettwerk Music Group Inc.]Ask yourself this, why should anyone have to hide from the world? Unfortunately, the world can be a cruel, unaccepting place โ€“ something weโ€™ve seen throughout 2023 โ€“ hence why those of us who are different feel forced to hide.ย  WE SHOULDNโ€™T HAVE TO HIDE, something that singer/songwriter ๐ŸŽ™ Wrabel makes loud and clear on his single, ๐ŸŽต โ€œAbstract Artโ€ (๐Ÿ’ฟ chapter of you (EP), 2023). He penned this beautiful, uplifting record with ๐ŸŽผ โœ Sam de Jong, and Eric Leva. De Jong also produces. Yes, this is an LGBTQ bop โ€“ Wrabel is openly gay โ€“ but the message is applicable to anyone who feels different, like an outsider โ€“ abstract art.

โ€œThereโ€™s always gonna be someone tryna tear you apart

Always gonna be sticks and stones and broken hearts

Theyโ€™re gonna try and tell you who you are

Not everybody can understand abstract art.โ€

He makes it clear that not everybody will understand you, because you are different, however, makes it clear you โ€“ we โ€“ ย are all special. Donโ€™t let the haters bring you down โ€“ live your life! Wrabel also uplifts in the second verse, asserting, โ€œWhere you see weakness, I see power / And some would pay any price.โ€ ย All told, Wrabel says and sings all of the right things.ย  We should adhere to it. Donโ€™t let someoneโ€™s differences become a source of belittlement.ย  Donโ€™t let someoneโ€™s sexuality be a reason to persecute or exclude them. Appreciate the ๐ŸŽต โ€œAbstract Artโ€, donโ€™t persecute or shun it ๐Ÿ’ช.
