Bingkai Karya – Steve Lacy will release his third album, ‘Oh yeah?’, on July 17, 2026 via RCA Records. The album’s first single “the feeling”,out now, is a brilliant reminder of Lacy’s ability to manifest modern Pop, Alt, and R&B in a sound that is less genre-defying and more genre-defining. An accompanying music video for “the feeling”, directed by Matt Castellanos, is also out now.
‘Oh yeah?’ is Steve’s most personal art to date, the culmination of a four-year journey whereupon Steve found himself feeling at home in foreign countries and situations and less at home at home. Taking the reins of the production, writing, performance, and the creative, Steve eventually found his way back, and we are thankful he did.
It’s a record for guitar kids who love synths and synth kids who love guitars. It’s an album splashed with raw openness, energetic connection, sonic beauty, and some of Lacy’s most personal, transparent lyrics. ‘Oh yeah?’ is intersectional, cutting, a comedy, a tragedy, and has allowed Steve to further design an aural world that is singularly him. That “him” has taken Lacy, who released his first EP almost ten years ago, to the highest of highs: at only 28, he has two songs in the Spotify Billions Club, as well as two Grammy Awards. He has stood alongside his musical peers like Kendrick Lamar and Solange, sells out shows across the globe, and is universally known as a style maverick whose eye for design grows bolder every day.
In a recent cover story, The Cut described Lacy as “potentially being Gen Z’s first rock star”, a big claim in an era of pop girlies, K-Pop kids hunting demons, and country balladeers. On first listen, ‘Oh yeah?’ undoubtedly, and instantly, takes that potential and turns it into reality, a defining musical moment for an artist with many, many more to come.
