Leon Bridges is back soon with a new album. Leon, the follow-up to 2021’s Gold-Diggers Sound, arrives October 4 via Columbia. Below, watch the video for lead single “Peaceful Place.”
Bridges recorded Leon with producer Ian Fitchuk at Mexico’s El Desierto studio, and with co-producer Daniel Tashian in Nashville. “Leon has been a long-time coming,” Bridges wrote in a statement. “I started writing pieces of it as far back as Gold-Diggers Sound. They didn’t fit what I was trying to do with that album, and I tried moving on. But I couldn’t shake them because they’re part of me. And, if I’m honest, also because I think this is some of my most excellent work yet.”
The Texas soul singer continued:
In recent years, Bridges has made music with fellow Khruangbin. In 2020, they shared the Texas Sun EP, and, two years later, they dropped the Texas Moon EP.
