Rather Be Alone

Leon Thomas is back with his latest single “Rather Be Alone” featuring the dreamy vocals of multi-GRAMMY-nominated artist and actress Halle—and it’s a vibe. A hypnotic blend of R&B, soul, and a dash of rock, the track feels like a hazy late-night confession, as Leon and Halle float over lush strings and woozy guitar riffs. It’s all about knowing when to walk away from love and choosing peace over chaos (relatable, right?).

Fresh off his chart-climbing album MUTT—which hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs and racked up over 1.1 billion streams—Leon’s proving he’s not just in the R&B game, he’s shaping it. With past collabs including Ty Dolla $ign, Freddie Gibbs, and SZA (he co-produced “Snooze” with Babyface), it’s clear Leon’s pen and production are unmatched. Halle adds her signature magic, and together, this track is another win for two of music’s most exciting voices.
