Steve Lacy makes a comeback with his new single 'Nice Shoes.'
This playful track marks the end of a quiet period for the alt-R&B artist; it's his first release since the 2022 album 'Gemini Rights' and follows the massive viral success of his song 'Bad Habit.'
Now available, 'Nice Shoes' features a dynamic breakbeat that nods to DNB-inspired production while staying true to his R&B roots.
The vivid lyrics explore a lightheartedly erotic theme, playing with the tension and release that come with flirting.
“Crazy how you could be sad and not notice,” he sings. “All I need is my guitar and serotonin.”
A gentle breakdown showcases only vocals, guitar, and a simple beat, before a gospel choir emerges to complement Steve Lacy’s voice.
Transforming into a club-ready anthem, the 90s influences in the production elevate 'Nice Shoes' to great heights.
Tune in now.
