Leon Bridges announces new album 'Leon'

Following on from his highly-praised 2021 LP 'Gold-Diggers Sound', Leon Bridges has now announced his plans for a new studio album, arriving later this year.

The new full-length 'Leon' is being previewed by the lead single 'Peaceful Place', which comes accompanied by a stunning Joshua Moore-directed video, and is set to be released on the 4th October via Columbia Records.

Speaking about the new record, he said, “’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.”
