Issue #1435 (Leon Thomas)

$25.00

EZMNY/Motown’s Leon Thomas, like several Thomases who preceded him (Rufus, Carla), has a facility for both the gritty and smooth sides of R&B. His single “MUTT” has been a streaming and radio smash, and he has been touted as a strong contender for a Grammy Best New Artist nom. Thomas’ brand-new EP, PHOLKS, shows his soulful side deepening. Capitol Music Group boss Tom March and his team have been pulling all available levers to break the guitar-slinging artist-songwriter. If only they didn’t have to associate with the mutts of HITS, who could definitely use new flea collars.
