Steve Lacy Asks An Adorable Or Slightly Embarrassing Question In Sultry 'N Side'

The Internet's captivating guitarist Steve Lacy has released a sexy and magical new track, "N Side." It's smooth and awash in colors and is the sort of double-meaning tune that's either excessively adorable or intentionally hilarious. Either way, it's a welcome taste of what the musician has to provide ahead of what we aspire to be his sophomore album coming out. The world is well due for some more fresh sounds from Lacy.





"N Side" sounds like as soon as the last traces of pink vanish from the sky at dusk and the street lights come on in Los Angeles. It's built around an eas percussive loop as well as a magical, haunting melody, prosperous with the sort of 90s, finger-snapping soul that makes you close your eyes and just sway to the music. Lacy's nostalgic tune is a steamy ode to both love and sex because the chorus of "Is it indoors gets stretched and warped into ecstasy. In this musical world, he's an excited lover, willing to guide his partner into a promised land. Although if that's the case, the "Is it indoors refrain becomes hilarious. He asks it repeatedly during the song's runtime. He really can't tell if he's indoor or not.


Or, there's a chance that there's a more romantic meaning to the three-word spiel. A skit that takes place in the middle of the song has Lacy asking a partner if they feel the same way about him as he does about them. "Is it indoor in this context is a desperate plea at verification. Do the feelings really exist indoors of his lover's heart? Are they sure?


In either meaning, the song still succeeds – masterfully, also. It's a milky mixture of sturdy rhythmic genres, a tune that fits into grand mythos of The world wide web along with stretches it appropriately, because growth and change are inevitable, needed factors for making it to next level. The world wide web revealed, in February, that the camp had completed two new albums, following up on April 7 saying that one would come out this month and another would come out in May. While a sophomore LP from Lacy hasn't been confirmed, it is worth noting that his last project, Steve Lacy's Demo, came out in 2017. We're pretty comfortable wagering that one of the two new albums comes courtesy of Lacy.


Lacy recently took a stroll by means of the Upper West Side of Manhattan with Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig in the video for "Sunflower," directed by actor and director Jonah Hill. The video featured surprise cameo appearances from hip-hop legend Fab 5 Freddy and comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
