Leon Thomas Teases New Album: ‘I Was Happy Being Single and I Wanted to Document That’
Grammy-winning songwriting Leon Thomas reveals new details about his forthcoming sophomore LP. Get all the details.
“This new album is definitely a different breadth of sound and sonics and even lyrical choices,” Thomas told Billboard before his performance at Nashville’s inaugural Blavity House Party on Friday (June 14). In August 2023, Thomas dropped his debut album, Electric Dusk, which featured collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign(“Love Jones”) and Benny the Butcher(“X-Rated”), as well as the breakout single “Breaking Point.” He released the set on Motown Records via Ty Dolla $ign’s EZMNY Records imprint, to which Thomas was signed as the label’s first artist in 2022. Thomas, of course, is no stranger to traversing the vast range of tropes that comprise R&B and hip-hop, having lent his talents to songs from Toni Braxton(2014’s “I’d Rather Be Broke), Kehlani(2019’s “Butterfly”), Ariana Grande(2020’s “Nasty”), Giveon(2021’s “For Tonight”), SZA (2022’s “Snooze”) and Ty Dolla $ign & Kanye West(2024’s “Burn”).
