Leon Bridges
The highly anticipated new album from Leon Bridges, simply titled Leon, is released Friday 4 October (Sony). Leon features 13 handcrafted tracks spotlighting his signature storytelling and organic genre alchemy. Leon unfolds as his most poignant, powerful, and personal body of work to date, a journey through the things he holds dearest, and the memories of the people and places that shaped him. Six years in the making, this record is unmistakably Leon.
Between album releases, Leon has garnered more than a dozen platinum and gold certifications, stacked up billions of streams, and entrenched himself at the forefront of culture. As a sought-after collaborator, he has impressively joined forces with everyone from John Mayer and Kacey Musgraves to Lucky Daye, Noah Cyrus, Khruangbin and Carin León. Collaborating so far this year with Gunna on ‘clear my rain’, contributing to the Twister soundtrack with Chrome Cowgirl, and joining Kacey Musgraves on Superbloom for the extended edition of her album Deeper Well, Leon continues to position himself as musical chameleon that can bend any genre to fit into his boundless sonic universe.
