SUMMARY:LANY
DESCRIPTION:LA-based duo LANY have announced their Soft World tour will land in Dublin at 3Olympia Theatre on Thursday 4th June 2026. \n\n\nPaul Klein (lead-singer & songwriter) had just finished a workout at his local gym last summer when his and LANY’s world was (for a brief moment\, quite literally) flipped upside down. Only a couple miles from where he lives in Hollywood\, he hopped on his vespa scooter to head home and a minute later was crossing an intersection when a car appeared from nowhere. He squeezed the brakes\, braced for impact and at the last second “let go”. He woke up in an ambulance. \n“The first thought I had when I woke up was that God loves me. That I’m still here for a reason and I have a purpose.” He doesn’t know how much time passed on the pavement. He doesn’t know who called the ambulance. He doesn’t know how long it took them to arrive. He does know how fortunate he is to be alive. “I’m so grateful to be alive\, but I hope there are some parts of me that died on the road that day\,” he says. “I was holding onto some things that I didn’t need to be. Resentment. Unforgiveness. I was becoming pretty bitter and callous — hard of heart.” \nIt’s poetic then that the band’s new album\, titled “Soft”\, addresses his attempts to fight against that internal hardness — to stay soft of the inside\, while simultaneously fighting to rehabilitate an even stronger\, harder exterior to protect that same vulnerability and softness within. \nThe LA-based duo (comprised of Klein and his bandmate/ best friend Jake Goss) were less than two weeks away from the Australian leg of their “a beautiful blur” world tour when the accident happened. Having already finished the European\, North American and Latin American legs\, the band were spending the first weeks of summer at home\, recharging before getting back on the road. Nobody could’ve imagined how quickly everything would change. What is perhaps more conceivable is how catalyzing a moments like this would be for Klein\, both personally and creatively. Thematically and visually “Soft” exists in tension — an intentional contrast of the hard and soft. Tangible\, literal\, physical hardness juxtaposed with metaphorical\, relational (and\, at times too\, physical) softness. The cover itself depicts the perfect visual of that dichotomy: a lamb\, representative of one’s own softness\, in the wounded and bandaged arms of the one that has fought for and protected it. “It’s so easy to let the challenges of the world harden you\,” Klein says. “The hardest thing to do is to fight against it — to stay soft. To protect your softness and the things that you love.” \nSonically\, the album explores these same tensions — much of the softness and vulnerability of lyric that has defined LANY’s acclaimed career\, now with a harder\, braver edge to the production. Where familiar listeners might’ve expected to encounter some more predictable or safer choices\, LANY has seriously matured and evolved. The soft piano ballads west-coast-indie guitars and bedroom pop sonics that LANY helped create and popularize aren’t entirely abandoned\, but their sound and Klein’s writing has expanded. The list of brave choices on “Soft” begins with Klein’s willingness to start writing mere weeks after waking up in the ambulance. It continues with the band’s decision to produce the album entirely with Tommy King\, who has a more abstract\, indie production background / history (Bon Iver\, Dijon\, Vampire Weekend\, Haim) and ends with a sonic-identity that is simultaneously incredibly fresh and peculiarly familiar (another dichotomy that defines the record and has come to define the band). \nNowhere is this seen more than lead-single “Know You Naked”. Lyrically a vulnerable love-letter\, highlighted by Klein’s vocal range and thoughtful extra touches; the tension and contrast is found in an almost-industrial\, dissonant guitar-intro (that continues to persist below the surface)\, harsh synth stabs\, punchy snare hits and momentary “glitchy” static-like sounds. There’s also a particular moment on the album’s title track and opener “Soft” that sets the scene and prepares the audience for what’s ahead. It’s only one and a half minutes into the album\, but is the first time the initial “softness” of the record is broken and it kickstarts the record into life — a daring\, crystalizing early highlight. \nIn more than a few of the tracks\, the record could more aptly even be described as R&B. Maybe that’s where some of the familiarity stems from… The band’s origins and early works felt more “80s”\, but were always very R&B-adjacent. The song “Good Parts” feels like it drew inspiration from the “late-90’s / Y2K” in that way — you can just imagine a big-budget music video played 40x a day\, every day\, on MTV to accompany such an enormous track. This feeling is identified most strongly in the unstoppable album closer “Last Forever” though — an astonishingly raw and honest\, soul-bearing ballad that existing fans and new listeners will be desperate to have on loop (or\, dare-say\, to last forever). While it pushes sonic and thematic boundaries\, it still feels a lot like LANY\, treading that tightrope of tension the band thrive on. \nWith “Soft” dropping this Fall\, the band have spent the latter parts of 2024 and early 2025 relentlessly working on the record\, but have found time outside of the studio too. Earlier this year they played two special nights with The National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center in DC before headlining Seoul Jazz Festival in Korea in May. LANY have always brought so much of the energy from their live shows to their recorded works and it’s easy to see that influence on “Soft”. While the new record was incubated in the immediate aftermath of the accident — writing and production beginning within just a couple of weeks — the band were amazingly back on stage in Europe to finish their world tour just two months after the crash\, albeit with Klein on a crutch. \nThat tour canvased the globe; highlights of the 80+ show / 300\,000+ ticket run including a first-ever sold out stadium in Manila\, a second time headlining The Forum locally in LA\, and festival headline slots at the iconic Summer Sonic Festivals in Tokyo and Osaka. Nominated for “Best Pop Tour” by Pollstar\, the band’s energetic\, entrancing\, and ever-evolving live show continues to captivate fans on multiple continents.

SUMMARY:PUMA BLUE
DESCRIPTION:Puma Blue is the alias of artist\, producer & songwriter\, Jacob Allen.

SUMMARY:SILK
DESCRIPTION:‘Auralux’ is the highly anticipated debut mini-album from Irish shoegazers\, Silk. Michael Smyth\, songwriter/guitarist of the acclaimed but now defunct band Virgins\, is the sole contributor to the project. Taking on responsibilities for all the songwriting\, performance and recording\, gives the project intense personal meaning for Michael. Michael says\, ‘There is no beauty in perfection\, it feels fake and manufactured to me. I want the record to feel real\, so this is the sound of visceral self-expression.’ 2025 saw the release of three highly successful singles and Irish tours\, including festival appearances at GazeFest supporting Whitelands and Sweet Sweet Noise. Lead single of the album ‘Clementine’ released earlier this year\, which found Silk push into darker and more abrasive territory\, leaning hard into texture and density. ‘Auralux’ covers a wide range of sonic territory over its 6 tracks; celestial and euphoric guitars dove tail with impossibly thick crushing fuzz\, while cascading reverse reverbs melt into one another. Lyrically the mini-album moves between themes of mortality\, memory\, loss\, love and time. Auralux is catharsis via volume and reverb. ‘Auralux’\, is released May 7th by Blowtorch Records (IRE/vinyl) and Shoredive Records (UK/CD).

SUMMARY:Clutch
DESCRIPTION:Seneca Valley High School classmates Neil Fallon (vocals)\, Tim Sult (guitar)\, Dan Maines (bass)\, and Jean-Paul Gaster (drums) share an unshakeable musical and personal bond now three decades strong. Shaped by the same region which birthed Bad Brains\, Minor Threat\, and Rites Of Spring\, CLUTCH crafts hyper-literate and libertine jams informed by hardcore fury and fuzzy\, athletic\, stoner rock. \nA worldwide cabal of fans and critics cherish the band’s dense and diverse catalog of underground classics\, released through major labels\, indies\, and since 2009\, Clutch’s own Weathermaker imprint. Sunrise On Slaughter Beach\, the band’s thirteenth studio album\, is a slamming summary of everything that makes the band great and another giant leap forward into career longevity.

SUMMARY:DUENDITA
DESCRIPTION:Foggy Notions presents the Irish debut of duendita \nWhat the press is saying about duendita: \n“fragility meets pugnacity” The New York Times \n“warm soul\, and great emotional depth.” Pitchfork \n“a voice that seems to defy the laws of this realm” Teen Vogue \n“inspiring the type of warm\, calming introspection that makes you appreciate everything around you” Alternative Press \n“duendita crafts music that heals” The FADER a strong desire to survive \nNew York City’s duendita released a strong desire to survive via 10k in April 2025. The 10-track project embeds the listener into duendita’s spellbinding realm and follows the lauded EP the mind is a miracle released in 2024. \na strong desire to survive was born from duendita’s transformative experience during their first extended trip to Berlin where they first met longtime collaborators Noah Becker and Anton Remy. “We would jam all the time at Baketown\, our recording studio and art space in Schoenberg. It was an era where I’d write on their beats or at the piano\, and I couldn’t stop writing about the pain\,” they share\, “all these bangers came out about how badly I wanted to live and overcome it all.” a strong desire to survive includes the previously shared track “baby teeth\,” which includes a sample of 9 vocalists\, singing in harmony as a choir – all recorded in duendita’s bedroom\, along with the track “cutie.” The upcoming project’s visual direction is equally as poignant as its musical heart. duendita enlisted friend and artist Kiyomi Taylor to create the cover art\, which features an image of a deep-sea creature who has adapted to survive in the most grotesque way. “She’s grown long nails\, gills\, scales\, and killer teeth\, just to survive. At first glance\, the man in the image looks like her next meal\, but in reality\, she wishes she could hold someone without scratching or hurting them\,” duendita explains. “This image mirrors the themes of the project – survival\, transformation\, and the struggle to love and be loved.” \nduendita is a band from Queens\, New York. They write and produce their own music\, imbuing it with a reverence for their ancestry\, community\, and faith. Anchored by achy\, bass-coated tones and mix of jazz\, piano\, soul and R&B\, duendita’s music is evocative of the complexities and sentimentality of the human experience. Flowing in various shapes and formations\, duendita is a living collaborative project made with family and friends across mediums and cities.

SUMMARY:Singular Artists presents Goldlink
DESCRIPTION:Singular Artists presents Goldlink – 10th Anniversary of ‘And After That We Didn’t Talk’ \nSunday\, May 3rd 2026 \nThere wasn’t exactly a place in the landscape for an artist like GoldLink-until GoldLink made one. Raised in and around Washington\, D.C.\, the rapper (born D’Anthony Carlos in 1993) started writing music in his late teens\, staking out an uncharted space at the intersection of hip-hop\, house\, electronic music\, and R&B-a colourful\, head-spinning sound that made him stand out instantly. In 2014\, he released his debut mixtape\, The God Complex; the next year\, he made the XXL Freshman Class. Buoyed by a mentoring credit from Def Jam co-founder Rick Rubin\, And After That\, We Didn’t Talk followed in 2015\, striking a balance between narrative grit and a sparkling\, effervescent sound. \nIn 2017\, he released At What Cost\, featuring the Grammy-nominated “Crew.” Alongside MCs and producers like Anderson .Paak\, KAYTRANADA\, Flume\, and Chance the Rapper\, GoldLink’s sound represents an ever-broadening sense of what hip-hop and dance music can do\, imagining a borderless club world where affiliations of genre and region bow to the music’s overall feel: not rap\, not electronic\, but what GoldLink has playfully called “future bounce” —and he’s making it right now.

SUMMARY:Robert Finley
DESCRIPTION:On the back-end of his incredible performance on BBC’s Later With Jools Holland this month\, Louisiana soul-blues artist Robert Finley is announcing more headline shows in France\, Netherlands and Germany for 2026. The tour follows his critically acclaimed album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya\, which was released earlier this year via Easy Eye Sound. \nFinley kicks off the fourteen date run of shows in Tourcoing\, France on February 24th and then makes his way to the Netherlands for four shows followed by four more shows in Germany ending in Berlin on March 12th. Tickets for all shows go on sale this Friday. Visit (XXXXX) for tickets. \nFinley’s new album Hallelujah! Don’t Let The Devil Fool Ya received global acclaim\, with SPIN declaring the artist “a master musician and entertainer – only gets better with time\,” and UNCUT noting: “Approaching his eighth decade … Finley’s work here is clearly just getting started.” \nThe album — produced by longtime collaborator Dan Auerbach at his Easy Eye Sound studio in Nashville — features bold\, joy-driven gospel-soul statements like “I Wanna Thank You\,” and was recorded in the spirit of live improvisation with Finley and his band. Finley now brings his unmissable live show across Europe. \n— — — — \nAfter a lifetime of hard work\, Robert Finley has established himself as one of today’s preeminent spokesmen of the blues. Born and raised in the small town of Bernice\, LA\, Finley spent decades playing music as a street performer and leader of the gospel group Brother Finley and the Gospel Sisters before making his long overdue recording debut at the young age of 62 with 2016’s Age Don’t Mean A Thing. The album captured the attention of Easy Eye Sound founder Dan Auerbach\, beginning a long collaborative relationship that has included 2017’s Goin’ Platinum\, 2021’s autobiographical Sharecropper’s Son\, and 2023’s critically acclaimed Black Bayou. An 11-track tour de force that coalesces southern soul\, jazz\, folk\, blues\, rock ‘n’ roll and more into a raw\, thundering tribute to Finley’s home state of Louisiana\, the latter album was met by ecstatic applause from leading publications around the world spanning SPIN\, The FADER\, No Depression\, American Songwriter\, Paste\, Uncut\, and more with MOJO simply declaring in a five-starred rave\, “Black Bayou is surely the album Finley was put on Earth to create\, filled with stories only he could tell.” \nAn electrifying performer known for his soulful swagger and gritty vocal power\, Finley has since proven a hugely popular international live act with sold-out headline tours\, countless festival appearances\, shows alongside The Black Keys\, and a leading role in Auerbach’s Easy Eye Sound Revue. Finley has also made a number of high-profile network TV appearances\, including the 2019 season of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” – where he eventually made it to the semi-finals – and CBS Saturday Morning. Having overcome great adversity – including losing his sight in his 60s – Robert Finley is now justly recognized the world over as a singular storyteller and one of the last great bluesmen of the modern era\, a true living legend with still more magic to come.

SUMMARY:The Bros. Landreth
DESCRIPTION:The Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg\, known for their blend of guitar-driven\, soulful\, blood harmony roots music. The band\, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth\, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs\, inventive musicianship\, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their father’s gigs as babies (“Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us under the bar tables\,” says Dave)\, the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs\, theatres\, and music festivals across North America\, the UK\, Europe\, and Australia\, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023\, a banner year for the band\, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitt’s cover of their song\, Made Up Mind (from their first album\, Let it Lie)\, earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes\, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhood — Bonnie Raitt’s blues\, Little Feat’s funky country-rock\, Ry Cooder’s eclectic instrumentals\, Lyle Lovett’s twangy traditionalism — culminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present. \nDrawing on the energy of their recent live shows and a newfound sense of creative purpose\, The Bros. Landreth returned to the studio for their fourth full-length album\, Dog Ear. This record captures the spontaneous and collaborative spirit of their touring band\, which includes drummer Roman Clarke and producer Murray Pulver\, and marks a new\, more effortless approach to songwriting. The band describes the album as a deeply personal and emotionally resonant work\, exploring themes of family and the quest for stability amidst the itinerant life of a touring musician\, and says it’s “really about trying to figure out what it means to be a consistent force in the lives of the people you care about.” With songs like the title track written for their children\, the album captures a raw and focused energy in the studio\, featuring a handful of magical first takes and special collaborations with pop vocalist Begonia\, keyboardist Glenn Patscha\, and a powerful guest vocal performance from their longtime hero\, Bonnie Raitt\, who appears on two tracks (Knuckles\, Half Moon Eyes). The band ultimately hopes\, “Maybe something on this record will get stuck in your head\, or take root in your heart… Maybe\, just maybe it’ll work its way into some little useful corner of your life\, in the way that songs sometimes can do.”

SUMMARY:CLARA LA SAN
DESCRIPTION:Renowned for her richly personalised\, effortless style of hook-rich songcraft\, Clara La San is a composer\, producer\, and singer who has developed a resounding reputation for writing and arranging songs that feel instantly familiar and timeless\, with a distinctly fresh appeal. \n\nThe 2023 self-release of her single In This Darkness earned her solo sound 100s of millions of plays on streaming services\, pinpointing her status among the prized songwriters of her generation. \n  \n\n\nWhilst her music is patently steeped in a holistic listening of myriad musical strands – from early 00’s R&B to contemporary rap instrumentals – she braids her influences with inspirations from cinema scores and up-to-the-second sound design to express a singular style of soul for the 2020s and beyond. This palpable sense of classically emotive but modernist production is matched by a rare ability for realising top line vocal melodies\, layered in blushing harmonies that instantly imprint on the memory and have kept her growing and devoted fanbase\, including many other artists and peers\, returning for more. \n\n\nClara La San deploys her enviably natural feel for extended melody at the service of telling stories borne from lived experience. Her discreet\, observant skill at divining sensual poetry from everyday life has only grown in stature since early guest vocal appearances prompted her to front her own mixtape\, Good Mourning\, co-produced with Jam City and released in 2017\, since deleted from DSPs – only adding to the mysterious allure weaved across her persona. \n\n\nSubsequent songwriting credits for the likes of Yves Tumor and Bicep have proven her range and unleashed Clara La San’s confidence in a solo sound that speaks to her maturity and dare-to-differ approach to working in the music industry. \n\n\nClara La San’s debut album Made Mistakes finely balances a renewed conviction in her solo sound with an empathetic vulnerability that identifies her as equal parts R&B siren and elder sister to a generation of young women who are increasingly taking control of their agency\, finding their place in the world. \n\n\nSomewhat shadowy and avoidant of the spotlight previously\, with Made Mistakes we are opened up not just to her music\, but the whole Clara La San audio-visual world\, finally unlocked for fans to interpret and ultimately lose themselves in. \n\n\nFrom any perspective\, Clara La San’s is a remarkable story of biding one’s time\, trusting instincts and never forcing oneself to “play the game”. Her strategy\, like her music\, is a rare example of swerving tricks or stunts in favour of allowing flavours to enrich and come to fruition in their own time. The result is an artist and sound whose music resonates and gratifies timeless needs and feels\, whilst entirely emblematic of her generation.

DESCRIPTION:Leigh-Anne’s debut album ‘My Ego Told Me To’ – due to be released in February 2026 – marks the beginning of a bold new era that sees her firmly in control. \nTo celebrate the project’s announcement\, Leigh-Anne shares ‘My Ego Told Me To’ Tour dates\, including a show at 3Olympia Theatre\, Dublin on Monday\, 6 April 2026. \n\n\nAs a solo artist\, Leigh-Anne has quickly amassed over 110M+ global streams\, earned two UK Top 40 singles\, completed a sold-out UK and Ireland tour\, and graced the covers of major publications including Rolling Stone UK\, Glamour and Tush. \nIn 2023\, she released her debut singles ‘Don’t Say Love’ and ‘My Love’\, experimenting with new sounds and styles\, before unveiling her 2024 EP ‘No Hard Feelings’. A personal exploration of love\, the project showcased Leigh-Anne’s growth as both an artist and songwriter\, skillfully blending her Bajan and Jamaican roots with contemporary R&B influences. \nBreaking free from expectation and playing by no one’s rules but her own\, Leigh-Anne’s debut album is a bold and unapologetic expression of freedom. Written by Leigh-Anne alongside the likes of Clarence “Coffee” Jr. (Dua Lipa\, Beyoncé)\, Owen Cutts (Stormzy\, Greentea Peng)\, Khris Riddick (SZA\, Kehlani\, Odeal)\, Fred Ball (Rihanna\, Jessie Reyez)\, and rooted in her vibrant Caribbean heritage\, the record sonically blends pop\, R&B\, dancehall\, and reggae into a powerful celebration of identity. Unfiltered and uncompromised\, it captures an artist letting go of who she once was to become who she truly is – fearless\, honest\, and finally in control. The album includes recent singles ‘Been A Minute’ and ‘Burning Up’\, as well as upcoming single ‘Dead and Gone’\, out Friday 17th October. Tracklist to be revealed. \nLeigh-Anne on My Ego Told Me To: “This album is the truest representation of me as an artist. Versatile\, rooted in reggae and my heritage\, but stamped with pop. It’s personal and impossible to box in. I wanted it to feel authentic\, blending the genres I love with a sound that’s distinctly mine. It’s also a statement: standing by my art and doing it my way. These are songs I’ll be proud of in five\, ten years\, because they reflect exactly where I was. You’ll hear my world in it\, my daughters\, my marriage\, my fight for power\, and the moment I embraced my fire side and said: no more. This is my show now.” \nLeigh-Anne has today announced ‘My Ego Told Me To Tour’\, which will include dates in the UK\, Ireland and Europe. The UK and Ireland leg of the ‘My Ego Told Me To Tour’ will kick off on April 6th 2026 in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre\, with stops in Glasgow\, Manchester and Bristol before making its way to London with a show at O2 Kentish Town Forum.

SUMMARY:Leon Thomas
DESCRIPTION:In support of HEEL\, the deluxe edition of his critically acclaimed sophomore album MUTT\, Grammy-winning Brooklyn native Leon Thomas has announced details of his upcoming MUTTS DON’T HEEL World Tour\, which includes a show in Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre on 31st March 2026. \n\n\nLeon recently released MUTT Deluxe: HEEL\, a natural continuation of the original\, digging deeper into his sonic universe and fetching a bold blend of psychedelic R&B\, rock textures\, soul\, and boundary-pushing production. New collaborations with Kehlani\, Big Sean\, and Halle elevate the project’s emotional and musical scope\, as Leon hones his reflections on singlehood\, connection\, and self-exposure. With tightly crafted compositions and distinct creative clarity\, Thomas delivers a fearless extension of his signature sound–unleashing bite where MUTT once explored duality. HEEL doesn’t just follow; it bares its teeth. \nMUTT Deluxe: HEEL’s focus track\, “NOT FAIR\,” is a sultry confessional that captures the disarming power of desire. With piano-laced production and hypnotic harmonies\, Leon unpacks the emotional whiplash of loving someone who knows exactly how to pull you in and push you away – a devoted mutt chasing a love that refuses to heel. “NOT FAIR”  lingers in a space of elusive\, intoxicating intimacy and mysticism. \nLast month\, Leon released his single “RATHER BE ALONE” featuring multi Grammy-nominated artist and actress\, Halle. A hypnotic blend of R&B infused with smoky soul and rock influences\, the track is a soulful reckoning about walking away when love no longer serves you\, and choosing personal peace over the chaos of what once was. Unfolding like a slow-burning confession\, wrapped in hazy guitar and swelling strings\, Leon’s smooth vocals intertwine seamlessly with Halle’s airy delivery\, adding a subtle\, psychedelic touch. \nLeon’s boldly introspective and highly acclaimed second studio album\, MUTT\, continues to push the boundaries of modern R&B\, blending soulful melodies with rock influences and experimental production. Amassing over 1.1 billion streams\, the album’s title track originally entered the Billboard Hot 100 in February 2025 and is steadily climbing\, recently jumping from #15 to #13 – marking Leon’s first Top 40 hit and his debut entry on the Hot 100. The track also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart\, as well as the R&B Digital Song Sales and R&B Streaming Songs charts. A high-impact remix featuring Chris Brown helped introduce the record to an even broader audience\, fueling its rise to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart and the UK R&B Singles Chart. \nLeon is currently the digital cover star of GAFFER Magazine and performed “NOT FAIR” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 3. Leon has also been nominated for Best New Artist and Best Male R&B/Pop Artist and will be performing on the mainstage at the upcoming 2025 BET Awards.  “MUTT” has also been certified platinum\, highlighting its widespread acclaim. Featuring collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign\, Freddie Gibbs\, Wale\, and more\, MUTT vividly explores the multifaceted nature of love – from the exhilarating rush of singlehood to the nuanced depths of emotional intimacy. Thomas weaves a narrative that fearlessly peels back layers of vulnerability\, grappling with themes of fame\, emotional detachment\, and the quest for genuine connection. \nLeon Thomas continues to redefine modern R&B\, becoming an emblem of the genre and shaping its cultural landscape. MUTT has garnered widespread critical acclaim\, named the #1 R&B Album of 2024 by Billboard and VIBE. It has also earned spots on several other Best of 2024 lists\, further solidifying its status as one of the year’s standout releases. Billboard describes him as “one of the hottest names in R&B\,” with MUTT being hailed as “the most stunning R&B album of 2024.” VIBE called it “one of the best R&B albums of the year\,” while Essence celebrated it for pushing the boundaries of Black music\, cementing Leon as “one of R&B’s most exciting voices.” \nLeon continues to cement himself as a generational star. His NPR Tiny Desk performance went viral\, peaking at #2 on YouTube and #5 on X\, further iconizing his influence in music and culture. This year\, he was named Billboard’s Chartbreaker and MTV PUSH’s Artist of the Month\, in addition to making his TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert\, an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show\, and first cover with GUAP Magazine. \nLast year\, Leon Thomas took MUTT on the road for his completely sold-out 13-stop North American headline tour. He also joined BLXST’s I Will Always Come Find You tour as a special guest\, bringing their collaboration on the “Crash & Burn” remix from Thomas’s 2023 debut album Electric Dusk to life on stage. With back-to-back sold-out shows and high-profile tour appearances\, Thomas continues to cement himself as one of R&B’s most dynamic live performers. \nFrom a viral Tiny Desk to BET nods and Hot 100 climbs\, Leon Thomas has spent the last year rewriting R&B’s rulebook. With MUTT Deluxe: HEEL\, Leon pushes his momentum further–fiercer\, bolder\, and taking his vision even further.
