GRAMMY® winner Leon Thomas is back, dropping his highly-anticipated new single, “Rather Be Alone,” featuring none other than multi GRAMMY-nominated singer and actress, Halle. The track, released under EZMNY Records/Motown Records, is a masterful blend of R&B, smoky soul, and a touch of rock vibes that come together to tell a powerful story about love, loss, and self-worth.
This isn’t just another breakup anthem. “Rather Be Alone” feels more like a raw and honest declaration wrapped in a mesmerizing soundscape. It explores the bittersweet decision to walk away from a love that no longer fits, with Thomas choosing peace over the chaos of staying in something that’s run its course. It’s the kind of track that hits you right in the feels and lingers, long after the music fades.
Leon Thomas’s velvety vocals effortlessly carry the emotional weight of the song, while Halle’s ethereal delivery adds a layer of dreamy, almost psychedelic energy. The two voices blend seamlessly, creating a dynamic that feels intimate and real. Add in the hazy guitar riffs, swelling strings, and a slow-burning build, and you’ve got a track that’s as captivating as it is cathartic.
Thomas, known for his remarkable versatility as an artist and producer, continues to showcase his ability to craft music that resonates deeply. This collaboration with Halle brings together two distinct yet complementary energies, amplifying the song’s emotional depth and artistic impact.
With “Rather Be Alone,” Leon Thomas reminds us that sometimes the most powerful choice we can make is to choose ourselves. Poignant and gorgeously composed, this is a track you don’t want to sleep on. Keep your ears open because this is a moment worth soaking in.
