Leon Thomas [2022] - Breaking Point [EZMNY Records/Motown Records]

I had to double-take on this one, as from the artist's name and a fleeting resemblance to the 70s artist of the same name who recorded "The Creator Has a Master Plan", I did initially wonder if this may be an unreleased recording surfacing.

However, this L.A.-based, Brooklyn born, singer, songwriter, producer and actor artist emerged as a solo, artist in 2012 and has written and produced with the likes of Ariana Grande, Kehlani, J. Cole, Rick Ross, and others and received a Grammy Award for writing credits on Babyface and Toni Braxton's 2014 joint album "Love, Marriage & Divorce". He also contributed to the writing on Drake's chart topping album "Certified Lover Boy" in 2021.

He's from a musical background, his mother (Jayton Anthony) a singer, father (Leon Thomas II) an opera singer and stepfather played guitar with B.B. King.

Aged 10 he played Young Simba in "The Lion King" on Broadway, at 13 starred in Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and then in the HBO series "Insecure" as well as several other films and TV series.

His debut EP "Genesis" (Aug 2018) earned him a nomination for Best New Artist at the 2018 Soul Train Awards.

The latest single "Breaking Point" is his third in 2022 which will all be featured on his forthcoming album "Electric Dusk". The last single "Love Jones" featured Ty Dolla $ign who owns EZMNY Records, a joint venture with Motown, and the third is "X-Rated". The latest single highlights that real soul music can still be created with a contemporary feel.
