Leon Bridges Announces New Album ‘Leon’

Leon Bridges will return with new album ‘Leon’ later this year.

Out on October 4th, it follows a handful of collaborations – with Gunna and Kacey Musgraves – earlier this year. The Texan artist’s previous studio album ‘Gold-Diggers Sound’ landed in 2021, while he teamed up with UK artist Olivia Dean for ‘The Hardest Part’ last year.

‘Leon’ contains 13 tracks, priming with his soulful alchemy. Recorded and produced by Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers) at El Desierto on the outskirts of Mexico City, co-production came from Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) in Nashville.

Set to land on October 4th, ‘Leon’ is available to pre-save now. Leon Bridges tells fans…

’Leon’ has been a long-time coming. 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.

In many ways, Leon has been in the works since my childhood. This record is about simpler days. It’s about time spent in my beloved Fort Worth and the experiences that made me the man I am today. It’s soulful music in the truest sense – it’s imbued with my soul.

I’m excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I’m from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.

New song ‘Peaceful Peace’ is the perfect primer – poised and patient, Leon’s expert control sends the vocal to another level.

Tune in now.
