Bingkai Karya – “The smoothness and texture of his vocals, the thunderous drums, and the almost effervescent guitar melodies. His songs carry an intimate, introspective tone, as though Lacy has taken the sharp, witty lens he once used to observe life and love from 10,000 feet and turned it inward.” – Rolling Stone on ‘Oh yeah?,’ August 2025.
Today, Steve Lacy releases his highly anticipated third studio album, ‘Oh yeah?,’ via RCA Records. The album features the long-awaited collaboration “is it cool? (feat. SZA),” alongside the critically acclaimed lead single “the feeling,” which serves as a brilliant introduction to Lacy’s ability to seamlessly blend Pop, Alternative, and modern R&B into a sound that no longer simply transcends genres, but actively redefines them. The result is an album that is undeniably Steve Lacy’s most ambitious and deeply personal work to date.
‘Oh yeah?’ is an album for guitar kids who love synths, and synth kids who love guitars. It is filled with raw vulnerability, electric connection, sonic beauty, and some of the most personal and transparent lyrics Lacy has ever written. Featuring guest appearances from Erykah Badu, Cecile Believe, and SZA, ‘Oh yeah?’ is intersectional, sharp, both comedic and tragic, allowing Steve to further shape a sonic world that reflects his truest self. It is that very authenticity that has propelled Lacy who released his first EP nearly a decade ago to the highest point of his career. At just 28 years old, he has earned two songs in Spotify’s Billions Club, won two GRAMMY® Awards, stood alongside musical peers such as Kendrick Lamar and Solange, sold out shows around the world, and established himself as a widely recognized style maverick whose eye for design continues to evolve.
In a recent cover story, The Cut described Lacy as “potentially Gen Z’s first true rock star,” a bold claim in an era dominated by pop girlies, K-pop demon hunters, and country balladeers. From the very first listen, ‘Oh yeah?’ confidently transforms that potential into reality, marking a defining artistic statement and the beginning of what promises to be many more landmark moments in Steve Lacy’s career.
