“Following the Grammy Award-winning success of 2022's Gemini Rights, which spawned the chart-topping "Bad Habit," Steve Lacy returns with his latest album Oh yeah? — billed by press materials as "a record for guitar kids who love synths and synth kids who love guitars," and his "most personal art to date." Lacy's third album charts the realities of his inner world with the same lyrical candidness ”
“a radical assessment of himself and the zeitgeist”
“The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist makes sincerity and absurdity sound like neighboring impulses on his restless, intimate new album”
“The genre-blurring singer/songwriter and guitarist sheds none of his idiosyncrasies on the follow-up to his Grammy-winning second album.”
“Much like Gemini Rights, Oh yeah? is a bit of a mixed bag with a handful of highlights.”
“From the fragmented breakup anthems to the formulaic moodboard fodder, nothing on Steve Lacy’s new album seems to come naturally.”
“Project: #037 of 2026 projects Title: Oh yeah? Artist: Steve Lacy Steve Lacy's newest album offers very clean progression within songs, yet also sometimes repetitive production (especially the drums I can't stop noticing that). The overall sound works, it does have that personal touch and mostly also feels like any Bedroom Pop album with his own custom seasoning to it. FAVOURITES: oh yeah? LEAST FAVOURITES: lovesexdrugbomb Simplified Rating: 7/10”
“Added half this album to my playlist instantly. Great R+B Alternative album to add to the classics. Knowing that he scrapped two full albums and over 300 songs to give us this album makes you really dig into the lyrics and the emotion being brought out by each track.”
“I enjoyed the album, it had a nicely acoustic vibe to it, it’s an album you listen to on a stroll. Nice shoes really a stands out amongst the album, which is nice cause I didn’t enjoy it as a single. Good album overall, I see it growing on me”
“Not for me. The first three songs were great then it all fell apart. Such bad lyrics in so many of the songs I don’t get how people are calling this “deep”. The sound was good throughout but I can’t look past a lot of the other stuff.”
“why do people like this? grown ass whiny man talkin bout some coochie being stuck in his teeth.”
“fav song: is it cool? ft. SZA fav ft: SZA”
