American singer-songwriter Leon Bridges released his fourth studio album "Leon" on Oct. 24.

‘Leon’ is low-key and rocksteady

By Tim Anzalone, Contributing Writer October 21, 2024
Leon Bridges’ “Leon”, released Oct. 4  is a smooth, relaxing and mellow album that aims to imitate the most peaceful times and places in a person’s life. In 13 tracks, Bridges manages to astoundingly capture what it’s like to truly be in a peaceful place. That very notion is exemplified in his songs, “Peaceful Place” and “Simplify”, which are both dedicated to that feeling, as they talk about his experiences in his own special places. A slow and tranquil array of sounds accompanies Leon’s journey through life. The mellow vocals convey who Leon is at heart, his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, and the girls he has fallen in love with.
