Leon Thomas and Halle Bailey Unite in Heartfelt New Single

Los Angeles, CA — Leon Thomas is back in the spotlight just a week after achieving a career milestone with his first top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The GRAMMY winner is set to release a new single, “Rather Be Alone,” featuring singer and actress Halle Bailey.

The highly anticipated collaboration explores themes of love and heartbreak. In the track, Thomas and Bailey trade verses about letting go of a relationship that has become too painful to sustain. The impactful chorus lyrically captures this sentiment: “I rather be alone, rather alone / Than being a broken home, I rather be alone / Oh, rather be alone / I’d rather be alone / Tryin’ to do this for the both of us on my own.”

“Rather Be Alone” comes as a preview for the deluxe edition of Thomas’ album, “MUTT,” which is expected to feature collaborations with notable artists, including Chris Brown, Kehlani, and Big Sean. The release is aimed at building on Thomas’ recent success, following his earlier hit remix with Chris Brown.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the full tracklist for this reissue, accompanied by a growing buzz around the upcoming release. Stream the new single on Apple Music and Spotify, and keep an eye out for the album’s official announcement.

This week in music has seen a flurry of new releases from various artists. Notably, Keri Hilson returns from a long hiatus with her album, “We Need to Talk: Love,” and Tamar Braxton has dropped “You On You,” a track that reflects her growth as an artist.

For the delayed single, Braxton noted it features a sample from Suzanne Vega‘s classic hit, “Tom’s Diner,” and addresses themes of empowerment and vengeance. “Can you tell me what you’re seeing / When I show you this mirror? / I can’t blame you for leaving / But I can’t be any clearer,” Braxton sings, showcasing her personal evolution through music.
