Solidifying one of the most potent mentor-mentee dynamics in modern R&B, Ty Dolla $ign has recruited his EZMNY Records signee Leon Thomas for the soulful new single “miss u 2.” Released on February 20, 2026, the track serves as the first official preview of Ty’s upcoming six song EP, girl music vol. 1, which is scheduled to arrive on March 6—just ahead of International Women’s Day. Produced by Keyz, the record marks a return to the “earthy,” vocal-centric R&B that has defined Ty’s legendary run as a solo artist and collaborator.
“miss u 2” is built on a foundation of lush synth pads and a minimalist snap beat, allowing the vocal chemistry between the two artists to take center stage. While Ty Dolla $ign glides through his verses with a conversational, effortless cool, Leon Thomas—fresh off his own Grammy-winning success with SZA’s “Snooze”—elevates the track with “silky runs” and a sophisticated, soul-heavy delivery. The song explores the quiet, consuming nature of longing, with the two crooners trading lines about vulnerability and the “unfinished” feeling of absence. Despite its brief two minute runtime, the track captures a specific late-night mood that mirrors their past successes on songs like “Far Fetched” and “Love Jones.” As Ty prepares to drop girl music vol. 1, “miss u 2” stands as a polished reminder that when these two voices meet, the result is pure R&B magic.
