Sometimes choosing peace is the loudest kind of love. On his latest single Rather Be Alone, GRAMMY® winner Leon Thomas teams up with the ethereal Halle Bailey for a soul-stirring meditation on emotional release. Wrapped in swirling strings and hazy guitar, the track drifts between smoky R&B and moody rock, anchored by Leon’s velvet tone and Halle’s weightless, melodic air. Together, they paint a sonic portrait of walking away not in anger, but with grace. Leon continues crafting one of the most compelling arcs in R&B right now and “Rather Be Alone” extends that vision.

This marks the newest chapter in Leon’s MUTT era, one defined by radical vulnerability and genre-defying sound. Named the #1 R&B Album of 2024 by Billboard and VIBE, Leon continues to redefine what modern R&B looks and sounds like. With collaborators like Ty Dolla $ign, Chris Brown, and Freddie Gibbs, "MUTT" offers a textured view of love, detachment, and the hunger for genuine connection.
