Rising R&B singer Sasha Keable has enlisted fellow R&B talent Leon Thomas for a smoldering new duet called “Move It Along.” Released this week, the collaboration is a soulful breakup anthem that finds Keable and Thomas trading verses about finally cutting ties with a toxic relationship. Over a mellow, groove-laden beat, Keable makes it clear she’s done wasting time on heartache, and Thomas echoes the sentiment from the male perspective – making “Move It Along” a cathartic conversation between two ex-lovers moving forward at last.
Lyrically, Keable holds nothing back: “Really had it bad for ya, wish it was simple / Now, all the love I had for ya is out the window,” she sings with palpable relief. Thomas responds in his verse, “It’s been two years, six months and eight days / You sold me a dream, I bought the whole thing,” his smooth vocals underscoring the song’s theme of hard-earned wisdom. The pair’s harmonies in the chorus drive home the message that both sides know it’s time to let go.
Keable herself described “Move It Along” as “the perfect ‘I told you so’ song” for anyone who knew they deserved better all along. “It feels like the perfect break-up song… a ‘you knew you were right the whole time’ song,” she said, clearly channeling some personal empowerment. She also praised working with Thomas, calling him “incredible… such an innovator of music.” With its smooth R&B vibe and relatable kiss-off lyrics, “Move It Along” stands out as a heartfelt anthem of self-respect. For Keable, it’s her third single of the year, fueling fan anticipation that these releases are building toward a larger project — one that R&B lovers will definitely be watching for.
