Steve Lacy’s “Mercury” (2022) is a psychedelic R&B track that sees the artist exploring astrological metaphors and falsetto-laden melodies. Released before his hit “Bad Habit,” “Mercury” showcased Lacy’s genre-blending style—melding funk, jazz, and soul influences. While it didn’t chart as high as his later single, the song was noted by fans for its experimental sound and introspective lyrics, further establishing Lacy as an innovator in alternative R&B.
