Thomas's most recent album, MUTT, was released Sept 27, 2024, on EZMNY Records and Motown Records. PHOLKS, a 2025 EP, followed.

Billboard's Chart Beat reported that the "MUTT" title track reached a No. 6 high on the Hot 100 and No. 1 on Radio Songs, completing a 35-week climb that Billboard called the longest to the top of that chart for a title by a male soloist. A June 26, 2026, Billboard report said the album reached No. 35 on the Billboard 200. The RIAA Gold & Platinum database lists the MUTT album as Gold, the "MUTT" single as 2x Platinum, and the MUTT album track "YES IT IS" as Gold.

GRAMMY.com, which lists him as Leon Thomas III, records three wins and eight nominations. At the 68th awards, MUTT won Best R&B Album, and "VIBES DON'T LIE" won Best Traditional R&B Performance. Those 68th awards also included Album Of The Year and Best New Artist nominations. At the 66th awards, he won Best R&B Song for SZA's "Snooze."

Holiday Blend and Frequency Of Love

The single follows other recent credits. Thomas closed the Starbucks Holiday Blend album with a cover of "Soulful Christmas," and he also produced and engineered it. He is a guest on Victoria Monét's Frequency Of Love, the album behind her tour that opened in Houston. After an awards season built on MUTT, and a stretch of credits on other people's records, a new single under his own name is the timing that fits.
