What to Know About Capital One's Lounge at JFK, a Play For Premium Travelers
One Tuesday night at JFK, as the sun was setting over a clutch of airplanes on the tarmac outside Terminal 4, Leon Thomas adjusted his guitar and stepped up to a microphone. Thomas is a singer songwriter from Brooklyn who blends hip-hop with R&B, and whose single, Mutt, has been making the rounds on TikTok (and is a No. 1 on the R&B chart). He looked like he wasn't sure what he was doing in this setting. 'This is the first time I've played an airport,' he said with a laugh. Thomas was there to inaugurate Capital One's sleek new flagship lounge, which will be the company's first at a New York City airport when it opens to the public on June 19. Capital One is not quite as new to the airport lounge scene as Thomas is, but in recent years the company has made a significant effort at expansion.

According to Set List FM, this is what he took to the stage at the one-off gig. 01.) 'HOW FAST' 02.) 'SAFE PLACE' 03.) 'Slow Down' 04.) 'DANCING WITH DEMONS' 05.) 'Love Jones' 06.) 'YES IT IS' 07.) 'MUTT' 08.) 'VIBES DON'T LIE' 09.) 'LUCID DREAMS' 10.) 'Far Fetched' 11.) 'Blue Hundreds' 12.) 'Aquarius' 13.) 'Sneak' 14.) 'SOONER OR LATER' 15.) 'Crash & Burn' 16.) 'My Will' 17.) 'FEELINGS ON SILENT' 18.) 'Breaking Point' Encore 19.) 'Treasure in the Hills' Leon Thomas new music On May 30, Thomas unveiled 'Mutt Deluxe: Heel.' The two-disc re-release is an epic 23-song soundscape — which makes sense considering he produced music for Ariana Grande, Babyface, Drake, Rick Ross and SZA, to name just a few — that starts with the whirrs of a racetrack before Thomas' unmistakable tenor kicks in on 'How Fast.' From there, we're taken on a journey with highs like the stinging throwback 'Safe Place,' stirring NSFW 'Vibes Don't Lie,' the wall of sound-laden 'I Do' and megahit 'Mutt.' Crazily enough, that's just disc one. If you'd like to give the timeless record a spin, you can find 'Mutt Deluxe: Heel' here. Ambré While on the road, Thomas will be joined by 28-year-old singer Ambré. For those unfamiliar with the gifted singer, we recommend checking out her smooth 'I'm Baby,' propulsive yet laid back 'the catch up' and contemplative 'You Don't Know.' Want to dive even deeper?

In Conversation With Leon Thomas and Aweng Chuol
Leon Thomas's list of connections is extensive. At first known as Andre Harris fromVictorious, the Brooklyn native started off with acting as his primary creative pursuit, making music on the side. Thomas worked with mentorBabyfacein his Los Angeles studio and primarily produced for other artists at the time, his castmateAriana Grandeincluded. He has since racked up production and writing credits from a star-studded selection of musicians includingSZA,Drake,Rick Ross,6LACK,Post MaloneandTy Dolla $ign– being the first artist to get signed to Ty's EZMNY Records. Back in September, Thomas dropped his second solo albumMUTT,which cemented his spot as a contemporary R&B solo artist. Features came from Ty,Masego,Wale, Axlfolie,Baby RoseandFreddie Gibbs. Aweng Chuol is another one of Thomas' A-list companions. The fellow creative multi-hyphenate and model met Thomas through mutual friends and industry events, includingTeyana Taylor'sMet GalaAfter Party, and has long been a strong supporter of his music career. Fresh offHEEL's release and aBETBest New Artist win, Thomas stopped by the Hypebeast studio for a conversation with Chuol. Aweng Chuol: Who is Leon Thomas? Leon Thomas: Leon Thomas is a kid from Brooklyn – a writer, producer, artist, actor, and all-around creative. New York City really shaped me; living here, I've been surrounded by so many different cultures and musical influences, and all of that showed me how to get down. AC: A multifaceted king! Do you believe in astrology? What's your sign? LT: I'm a Leo. What about you? AC: That's why you're talented. I'm a Libra. LT: Okay, okay, I see you. AC: We're cool, we're cool. [laughs] How old are you right now? LT: I'm 31, on the way to 32. I should start claiming it. I'll be 32 on August 1. AC: I'm still not over yourCoachellaperformance… LT: That was Dolla $ignbrought me out during his set for 'MUTT,' and then he surprised me by bringing outGeorge Clinton. Funk legend. He made me this fly ass all-white hat that he gave me during the performance. It was almost like a crowning ceremony. Passing the torch and keeping the funk alive. AC: The culture is so proud of you, honestly. So, so proud of you. Was that your first Coachella? LT: It was my first time performing there. I've been to the festival about five times. I like to go out there and just have fun. AC: I've never been to Coachella. I like watching y'all from home [laughs]… LT: You gotta pull up to the desert! AC: I don't know. The crowd … me and crowds … LT: Nah, you're a superstar. They'd have you in the back. You wouldn't have to worry about that. AC: If you were to headline a festival, which special guests would you bring out? LT: I'd love to bring outAnderson .Paak. He's so multifaceted and tight. I'd also love to haveH.E.R. come out. She'd be a great guest. We could do a little guitar duel on stage. AC: Tell me more about yourTiny Deskperformance – I know there's a story there, too. LT: That was wild. We almost missed our flight. It was snowing. There was a blizzard. Also, my grandfather had passed away about a week before, so the mental space I was in was really heavy, but I was able to use those emotions in the performance, and looking back on it, I'm so proud of myself and the team. AC: I know your grandfather was a big inspiration for you. LT: A huge inspiration. Any time I'd be in New York, he'd pick me up and we'd run around the city. AC: I've met him in New York. He was a handsome fella. LT: Real fly man. AC: Rest in peace to a king [...] How does it feel to be a Grammy winner? LT: Life-changing. I had a Grammy on my lock screen for about two years. It was crazy to go from holding it on my phone to holding an actual Grammy after that. AC: The manifestation is crazy. LT: Having that in my living room now is fly. AC: How did your dog Terry inspire the album? LT: The album at large was inspired by relationships and situationships that didn't work out, but I was able to use my dog as a metaphor for this. He's an untrained mutt. AC: He's a menace. LT: He's a wild German Shepherd. So he was perfect to tell the story. 'I had a Grammy on my lock screen for about two years. It was crazy to go from holding it on my phone to holding an actual Grammy after that.' – Leon Thomas AC: You've written and produced for so many other artists – Ty Dolla, 6LACK, SZA, Post Malone. How does writing and producing for yourself differ from writing and producing for other artists? LT: When I'm doing a song for myself, I get to write all the rules. I do a lot of producing for other artists now. That makes me feel like a private chef. If they want steak that day, they're getting steak that day. You have to cater to the other artist. When it's just me, it's whatever I feel. AC: How did you select the features forMUTT? LT: The features are just my a good friend of mine while we were making that record. To this day, we still call each other and talk about girls and life, and this industry Roseand I were friends before the record, but the album made us closer. I'm really proud of the features on the deluxe, too –Big Sean,Kehlani,Halle Bailey. AC: Would you ever collaborate with Victoria Justice on a music project? LT: I'd definitely collaborate with her on music. We've talked about it in the past. We work with a mutual producer, Toby Gad, and he was trying to set up some sessions, but it's just been tough with everyone's schedules. AC: It's always the schedule. LT: Scheduling is always what gets in the way when I try and link up with any of my friends to make music. AC: It's so hard. And then when you actually find time to hang out, all you want to do is just spend time together and not work. LT: Exactly. AC:Victoriouswas my childhood show in Australia. What was your favorite part of filming the show? LT: Having real friends. We all did our last two years of high school together and spent all of our time kicking it. It was nice to be surrounded by a group of talented people my age. We were like a family. We looked out for each other – even after the show ended. We're very protective of each other. 'You really built this.' – Aweng Chuol AC: Were you working on music while filming the show? LT: I was, but it was interesting. It was this awkward thing where I was making music that was a little more grown than my audience was at the time. So instead, I did a lot of writing and producing for other artists. That ended up being a great decision because I learned a lot, especially from my mentor Babyface. He let me use his A-Room Studio in LA – I even brought Ariana Grande into the studio. I produced a few songs on her first album. AC: You really built this. Did you ever expectMUTTto be this big? LT: Honestly, no. It was such a great surprise to see people all over the world getting down to my music. It's a dream come true. I love seeing people celebrating live music. AC: You've done television, theater, and music – would you ever walk the runway? LT: Honestly, I'd pull up. Get those sample sizes they talk about. I'm gonna hit some sit-ups and come back to you on that. I'm with it. For real, there are so many amazing brands out there that I'd love to work with. I love going to shows and watching the runway, the creativity in action. I have a lot of friends over atSalehe Bembury. AC: What's your favorite brand? LT: Right now, I'm really connecting withAMIRI's new swag. AC: Which of your songs would you walk the runway to? LT: I think 'FEELINGS ON SILENT' would be such a beautiful piece to play while the runway is going down because it's orchestral and almost like a soundtrack. I also feel like 'MUTT' would be great, too. I could see the girls walking to 'MUTT.' AC: 'MUTT' would be amazing. I could strut to 'MUTT.'

Miley Cyrus Scores A Career First With Her New Album
Something Beautiful gives Miley Cyrus her first entry on the Top Streaming Albums chart as it opens ... More as one of the 40-most-streamed titles in the United States. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Miley Cyrus attends An Evening with Miley Cyrus Presented by Spotify at The Metrograph on May 06, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Kevin Mazur/for Spotify) Miley Cyrus's new album Something Beautiful was one of the most highly-anticipated releases of 2025, and this week, it hits charts around the world as millions of fans were quick to purchase and stream the set, making it a global success. The title launches inside the top 10 on a variety of Billboard rankings upon its arrival, and while it misses the loftiest tier on one roster, the fact that it debuts at all is meaningful for Cyrus. Something Beautiful opens at No. 32 on the Top Streaming Albums chart. The newly-released project earns Cyrus her first placement on Billboard's ranking of the most successful full-lengths and EPs on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others. The tally is still relatively new, so it's not entirely surprising that the Grammy winner is only now collecting her first appearance. What is somewhat surprising is that Cyrus doesn't manage the top debut on the current edition of the Top Streaming Albums chart. That honor goes to Leon Thomas, who starts his full-length Mutt at No. 31, just one space above Something Beautiful. These two titles are the only debuts this time around. Something Beautiful performs much better when it comes to pure purchases than streams. The title opens at No. 2 on the Top Album Sales chart, landing behind only K-pop group Seventeen. Luminate reports that in its first tracking period, the Cyrus project sold 27,000 copies. A sizable number of purchases on wax propels Something Beautiful to No. 1 on the Vinyl Albums chart, where it becomes Cyrus's third career winner. Cyrus kicks off her time on the Billboard 200 at No. 4, where Something Beautiful opens on that tally compiled using total consumption, not just sales. The latest from the former Disney star launches with 44,300 equivalent units.
