Steve Lacy Debuts 'Oh Yeah?' Single "Nice Shoes"
Summary
Steve Lacyofficially announced his new albumOh Yeah?along with the release of its debut single 'Nice Shoes.'
The three-minute track kicks off with a thumping beat and sharp, whistling synths. Lacy enters with nonchalant vocals before offering his more melodic take in the chorus. 'Make it stop,' he repeats like a chant, followed by a quick portion of R&B/neo-soul before returning to the cut's electronica base.
'Nice Shoes' is set to join Oh Yeah?, Lacy's first album in three years. 'When I first started making shit or producing stuff with [previous group] the Internet, I would always make the beat, make a hook, and just give it away,' he toldRolling Stone. 'That was my process for a while, so words were always just kind of secondary. I'm like, 'If my beat hard, this bass line hard, the chords hard, what else do we need?' But now I'm like, 'OK, I want to say shit how I would say shit.''
