In honor of the 30th anniversary of D’Angelo‘s groundbreaking song “Brown Sugar,” Amazon Music announces a brand-new Amazon Music Original cover of the timeless track by rising R&B stars Leon Thomas and Dylan Sinclair. Released exactly three decades after the original single debuted, this Amazon Music Original unites two of the genre’s most exciting talents in a tribute to the neo-soul pioneer.
Leon Thomas, the Grammy-winning songwriter and dynamic vocalist who was named “Best New Artist” at the 2025 BET Awards this week, joins forces with Dylan Sinclair, the JUNO Award-winning Toronto singer-songwriter. Both artists were selected as Amazon Music Artists to Watch in the U.S. and Canada in 2025, and their rendition of “Brown Sugar” blends Thomas’s velvety falsetto with Sinclair’s soulful delivery, offering a fresh yet reverent take on the classic.
