Leon Thomas unleashes « PHOLKS », An Audacious Fusion of R&B and Psychedelia

Leon Thomas: The Pen, The Voice, and The Experimenter

Grammy Award-winning artist, singer, producer, and songwriter Leon Thomas never rests on his laurels. Following the immense success of his Mutt album (2024), the artist returns with the highly anticipated EP « PHOLKS », released on October 24, 2025, via EZMNY/Motown Records.

This seven-track project is a bold sonic statement, marrying his R&B and Soul roots with influences from Funk, Psychedelic Rock, and Black Rock. “PHOLKS is a love letter to the beautiful chaos and the need to feel,” he stated, emphasizing his intent to create music that challenges and explores.

A Seven-Track Journey into the Unknown

The EP is a showcase of raw musicality, richly produced by Thomas and his close collaborators (Freaky Rob and D. Phelps, the team behind the breakout hit “Mutt”). Listening to it is a journey:

• “Just How You Are“ and “My Muse“: Introduce a groove-first atmosphere, highlighting Thomas’s impeccable vocal control.
• “5MoreMinutes“: Rides on a funky, “stank-face-inducing” bassline, capturing the fleeting moments spent with someone special.
• “Trapped“ and “Baccarat“: Two tracks that emphasize the project’s musicality, addressing the ache of a relationship’s demise, where the voice blends into the soundscape rather than soaring above it.
• “Lone Wolf” (feat. 4batz): The EP’s sole collaboration, which closes the project with a note of deep reflection.

For Leon Thomas, « PHOLKS » is more than a supplement to his work; it is proof of his relentless ambition to define the next era of R&B—music that is emotionally complex and rhythmically innovative.
