Steve Lacy teams up with SZA for “is it cool?,” a dreamy new duet arriving ahead of Lacy’s upcoming album Oh yeah, set for July 17.
The track leans into a warm, layered soundscape built on textured production and subtle instrumentation, creating a hazy, intimate atmosphere. Rather than going for big vocal moments, both artists opt for restraint, letting the mood and tone guide the emotional pull of the song.
SZA’s contribution stays understated but impactful, blending seamlessly into the track’s mellow flow. Steve Lacy matches that energy with his signature understated delivery, keeping everything cohesive and emotionally balanced.
“is it cool?” feels like a natural pairing between two artists who excel at minimal, emotionally rich R&B, resulting in a track that’s more about atmosphere and chemistry than intensity.
