Steve Lacy Releases New Single “Is IT Cool? (Ft. Sza)”

New album Oh yeah? out July 17, 2026
Reveals album tracklisting with SZA & Erykah Badu

Steve Lacy releases new single “is it cool? (feat. SZA),” the latest offering from his upcoming album Oh yeah?, out July 17, 2026 via RCA Records.

This collaboration has been highly anticipated since the duo confirmed they were in the studio together back in March, and “is it cool? (feat. SZA)” undeniably lives up to the hype. Steve’s candid-as-ever lyrics blend seamlessly with SZA’s ethereal vocals – the result is a confessional reckoning with self-sabotaging habits and tumultuous romances, brought to life by two of R&B’s most influential voices.

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. “is it cool? (feat. SZA)” follows the album’s lead single “the feeling,” which served as 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.

In addition to the new release, Steve has also unveiled the official tracklisting for the album, revealing guest appearances from the likes of Erykah Badu and Cecile Believe (and of course, SZA). See the full tracklist below:

Oh yeah? is 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. 

To usher in this new record, Steve will embark on a series of tour dates across Asia this Summer, including headlining slots at Summer Sonic and Lalala festival. For ticketing information, visit https://www.wearesteve.net/ + see below for a full list of tour dates.
