Ever since his viral sensation “Bad Habit” took over the global charts and transformed him into a definitive voice of alternative R&B, Steve Lacy has navigated the immense pressure of the mainstream spotlight on his own terms. Four years after the staggering success of Gemini Rights, the multi-instrumentalist and former anchor of The Internet is officially stepping into his next creative era. Written, performed, and produced entirely by Lacy himself, his upcoming studio album Oh yeah? marks a radical commitment to creative independence and uncompromising sonic transparency.

The Disarming Vulnerability of “The Feeling”

Giving listeners a profound preview of the record’s emotional weight, Lacy has unveiled the captivating new single “The Feeling.” The track plunges straight into the dizzying, hazy anxiety of a complicated romance, with Lacy trading slick bravado for raw, recurring questions like “Am I your baby?” Musically, the track bridges a gorgeous sonic dichotomy—fusing deep, wah-wah bass lines and laconic rap cadences with floating, cavernous pop melodies that draw immediate, earned comparisons to the experimental spirit of Prince. It captures that painful, awkward space between hope and romantic exhaustion, wrapped in the effortlessly cool, lo-fi veneer Lacy has perfected.

Reclaiming the Album Format with ‘Oh yeah?’

Slated to arrive on July 17, 2026 via RCA Records, Oh yeah? represents a deeply personal coming-of-age chronicle. Born out of the emotional fallout of a heavy breakup, the 10-track LP leans into raw, beautiful discomfort rather than the safe, radio-friendly pop hooks his label initially encouraged. The visual world of the album is equally striking, anchored by striking cover art photographed by legendary filmmaker Gus Van Sant. In a brilliant twist of creative symmetry, Oh yeah? is scheduled to drop on the exact same day as Beard—the highly anticipated album by his lifelong friend and bandmate, Syd—making July 17 a monumental holiday for fans of alternative soul.
