Steve Lacy Unveils 'Nice Shoes' as Trailer for Self-Produced Oh Yeah?

His first new music since 2022 underscores a move toward personal lyricism with Kool-Aid-inspired artwork.

Overview

  • Lacy released 'Nice Shoes' on August 14, crediting Nightfeelings and Matthew Castellanos for co-writing and production on the self-produced track.
  • The single blends trip-hop beats, whistling synths and R&B-infused melodies as Lacy examines romance and sexual fluidity.
  • He inaugurated a new visual era with a sharp fade haircut, Kool-Aid Man–referencing cover art and an accompanying merch drop on wearesteve.net.
  • Oh Yeah? is slated to arrive in the near future but no official release date has been revealed, marking his first album since 2022’s Gemini Rights.
  • Members of The Internet have been informally regrouping in the studio, suggesting potential new material from the band alongside Lacy’s solo project.
