Steve Lacy has teamed up with SZA for their confessional new duet “is it cool?,” the second single from his upcoming album, Oh yeah?. The song is now available to stream. To open the track, Lacy admits to occasionally being a cheater, but now he really wants to settle down. “I really want [to] commit,” Lacy sings. “Really, really want commitment/ Can’t keep fucking shit up.” Attempting to convince a lover to stay, he implores that “we could die any day” as a reason why they should hook up.
The duet showcases a vulnerable side of Lacy, with SZA responding to his confessions with understanding and empathy. Her lyrics, such as “Can we get naked instead of talking, babe?/ I ain’t trippin’, we both got options, babe,” demonstrate her willingness to move forward and explore the relationship. Lacy later clarifies that he’s trying his best to change, singing “I never learned to love properly/ The mind be playing tricks when the heart’s involved/ I proceed to self-sabotage.” This honesty and openness make “is it cool?” a compelling and relatable listen.
Oh yeah? is out July 17th and also includes the lead single “the feeling.” The follow-up to 2022’s Gemini Rights features appearances from Erykah Badu and Cecile Believe. Pre-orders for Oh yeah? are ongoing. The newly unveiled tracklist reveals a diverse range of songs, including “pure colour” featuring Erykah Badu, “lovesexdrugbomb” featuring Cecile Believe, and “nice shoes / in your world.”
