Leon Thomas on ‘Mutt Deluxe,’ Performing at JFK Airport’s New Capital One Lounge, and a Surprise Call From Stevie Wonder


R&B powerhouse Leon Thomas talked about the deluxe edition of his platinum 'Mutt' album, his world tour and a surprise phone call from Stevie Wonder.

R&B powerhouse Leon Thomas is launching the next phase of his career with the just-released deluxe edition of his platinum “Mutt” album, a Grammy last year for his work on SZA’s smash “Snooze,” and a just-announced massive world tour — and, less expectedly, a concert at JFK Airport. He transformed the state‑of‑the‑art space into a cozy live venue and performed a tight set of songs, including new tracks from “Mutt Deluxe: Heel.” From decor crafted by native New York businesses to taster trays with local fare, it gives travelers a taste of the city before takeoff.
