Varges Thomas continues to prove why 2025 has been his year with the release of his latest single, “Hooked”, featuring the smooth vocals of rising artist OUI. After a trio of back-to-back #1 hits on the Urban Influencer R&B & Soul Chart-Steppers Delight (Ladies’ Night), If I, and Sundress and Sandals-Thomas isn’t just enjoyinga hot streak; he’s showing the result of careful craftsmanship and a keen sense of what modern R&B fans crave.
“Hooked” doesn’t just follow Thomas’ successful formula–it elevates it. The track is a sleek fusion of contemporary R&B, classic soul, and pop-infused grooves. From the opening notes, listeners are drawn into a sound that feels timeless yet fresh, a perfect blend of rhythm and intimacy.
OUl’s presence on the track adds another layer of appeal. His warm, velvety tone complements Thomas’ lead vocals effortlessly, creating a back-and-forth that is playful, confident, and undeniably magnetic. Together, they deliver a chemistry that feels both natural and intentional. The production is equally compelling. Clean bass lines, gentle percussion, and shimmering synths create a late-night, city-lit atmosphere, framing the song’s central theme: irresistible attraction. Thomas captures the feeling of being completely captivated by someone, crafting lyrics that are vivid and relatable rather than clichéd.
From the opening lines to the second verse, the Song explores desire with nuance. The narrator is not reckless; he’s mesmerized, drawn in by both beauty and energy. Phrases like “lost in your eyes” and “a beautiful obsession” highlight the depth of connection, while gestures like offering “everything you ever want or need” and tossing car keys over underscore trust and devotion.
“Hooked” is more than a love song-it’s a study in attraction, chemistry, and emotional intimacy. With this release, Varges Thomas cements his place as one of R&B’s most consistent and compelling voices, and OUI proves he’s a partner to watch in this sonic conversation.
