At 24, Steve Lacy can boast of already having a very fine career. Member of the R&B group The Internet, the American singer and musician has also distinguished himself by writing, singing or producing titles for Kendrick Lamar, Vampire Weeknd, Calvin Harris (“Live Without You”), Kali Uchis, Blood Orange, Solange or Tyler, the Creator. It is now solo that Steve Lacy pursues his musical career, he who has just released his second album “Gemini Rights”. A perfect record for the summer with its languorous and vintage soul-R&B universe. I write about my anger, my sadness, my desire, my confusion, my happiness, my excitement, (…) all with love and ridicule. The biggest lesson I learned at the end of the album process was how much we don’t consider love enough. From now on, I want to love unconditionally. I want to make love bigger, not smaller. For me, “Gemini Rights” is a step in the right direction indicates the singer and bass player in a note of intent.

“I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me”
To listen to in these sunny days, the album “Gemini Rights” is full of intoxicating titles like “Amber”, the well-named “Sunshine” or “Mercury”. But it is indeed the song “Bad Habit” which is widely acclaimed by the public. This languorous R&B track is a real streaming success since it has already been listened to 23 million times on Spotify and has established itself as the 16th most popular song of the moment on the platform in the world (2nd on Spotify in the United States ). While on TikTok, already nearly 70,000 videos have been created with this song. And it’s only going up for this powerful summer hit! It must be said that the public, mainly American for the moment, was right to bet on this title “Bad Habit”, ideal for this scorching era.
The text has a lot to do with it, since it evokes how one can proclaim one’s attraction to someone: Uh, can I bite your tongue like my bad habit? / Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it? / No, you’re not too good for me, my dear / Funny you come back to me, my dear / It’s okay, things happen for / Reasons that I can’t ignore, yeah . Steve Lacy’s “Bad Habit” is currently number 50 on the American charts and should logically gain more ground in the coming weeks. On the record side, success is also there since “Gemini Rights” is the most popular new album on the American version of Spotify, ahead of Lizzo’s “Special” event.
