Leon Thomas Releases Second Album MUTT

Leon Thomas has released his second studio album, MUTT, which showcases his evolution as an artist from his early days in Nickelodeon's Victorious to producing for stars like SZA and Drake. The album draws from his experiences post-relationship, weaving themes of love, control, and emotional introspection through R&B, rock, and jazz influences. Notably, Thomas uses the metaphor of his dog to explore imperfections in relationships, emphasizing good intentions despite flaws. Collaborations with artists like Ty Dolla $ign, Wale, and Freddie Gibbs enrich the album's exploration of modern dating dynamics. The sound of MUTT marks a shift towards a more assertive and experimental style compared to his previous work, Electric Dusk. Thomas aims to document the complexities of love in the 2020s through this project, reflecting both personal growth and broader societal themes.
