Oh No is the second album by Canadian musician Jessy Lanza. It was released on May 13, 2016, by Hyperdub. The album features co-production from Junior Boys' Jeremy Greenspan and was preceded by the singles "It Means I Love You" and "VV Violence".
Oh No received a Metacritic score of 82 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim". Rob Arcand of Tiny Mix Tapes emphasizes the importance of footwork to the album, and refers to it as a "joyous, envious, celebratory collapse" that "vaults across an infinity of cultural milieus to find itself."[1] Writing for Resident Advisor, Matt McDermott was favorable to the album overall but said that it "falls short of Lanza's own standards."[2] For AllMusic, Andy Kellman praised Lanza's "zest," compared the title track to "Oops (Oh My)", and expressed that the album combined techno-pop, juke, boogie and electro.
The track "It Means I Love You" was named Best Song of 2016 by Gorilla vs. Bear.[3]
