On this episode of Riffs on Riffs, Joe and Toby kick things off with some love for their dogs before diving into “MUTT,” the bold and emotionally rich single from Leon Thomas. They explore how the track—and the album of the same name—uses personal storytelling, inventive R&B production, and sharp lyricism to reflect themes of love, identity, and creative independence. Along the way, they discuss Leon Thomas’s evolution from actor to boundary-pushing musician, the importance of originality in today’s remake-saturated entertainment world, and how MUTT stands out as a cohesive artistic statement in a sea of playlist-filler. With reflections on intentionality, vulnerability, and the power of authentic expression, this episode is a celebration of music that dares to do something different.
