Review
Leon Thomas has truly outdone himself with his debut album, "Electric Dusk". I'm talking smooth, soulful vibes that'll make you swoon, and lyrics that are deeper than a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. From the get-go, you're transported to an electrifying evening where love and relationships are the main attraction, and Thomas's vocal range is seriously impressive, showing off his songwriting skills in the process.
What really stands out is how effortlessly the album straddles contemporary R&B and soul, while incorporating electronic and hip-hop elements. The production is sleek and modern, and Thomas's delivery is both emotive and polished - it's a real masterpiece. I was completely hooked from start to finish thanks to Thomas's thoughtful choice of tempos and each track's ability to highlight his vocal talents without ever feeling overwhelming. I'd say fans of contemporary R&B need to give "Electric Dusk" a listen; it's a fresh talent that's well put-together, and I can't wait to see what he does next. - Ava
