Leon Bridges releases "Leon"

Today, GRAMMY Award-winning Texas recording artist, songwriter, and performer Leon Bridges shares his fourth studio album Leon via Columbia Records. Listen here and purchase here. Starting the week with an intimate underplay three-night residency at Austin’s legendary Continental Club, Leon treated the audiences to brand new songs from the Leon album as well as beloved favorites.

Says Leon about the release of Leon, “XXX”

The album’s release follows the first single “Peaceful Place,” fan track “Laredo” and the Fallon-debuted “That’s What I Love.” Recorded and produced by Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Maggie Rogers) at El Desierto on the outskirts of Mexico City with co-production from Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) in Nashville, Leon features 13 handcrafted tracks spotlighting Leon’s signature storytelling and organic genre alchemy. Leon unfolds as his most poignant, powerful, and personal body of work to date as the man himself takes you through the streets he knows best, the things he holds dearest, and the memories of the people and place that shaped him. Six years in the making, this record is unmistakably Leon. Check out the full tracklisting below. Leon builds on the legacy of Leon Bridges' three previous albums, Gold-Diggers Sound, Good Thing, and Coming Home, all of which received GRAMMY nominations for Best R&B Album.

Bookended appropriately with Texas dates, Leon launches Leon Bridges: The Leon Tour this weekend at ACL Festival in Austin. The tour will then make stops in less traveled markets in Texas before heading across North America to cities such as Chicago, Toronto, New York, Nashville and more before wrapping with a special SOLD OUT homecoming show at the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Leon’s biggest headline show to date. Leon is excited to share that 1 from every ticket sold will go directly to his charity, The Big Good. Hermanos Gutiérrez will support Leon on all dates, with Charley Crockett serving as direct support in Fort Worth. All shows are on sale now with many shows already sold out.

ABOUT LEON BRIDGES:

As a powerhouse artist, dyed-in-the-wool troubadour, and electrifying performer, GRAMMY Award-winning Texas-bred maverick Leon Bridges quietly distinguishes himself as a tried-and-true original. With an old soul and a fresh perspective, he creates the kind of records that remain agnostic of era or genre, yet wholly in tune with the energy and emotion of successive generations. Thus far, he has garnered a GRAMMY Award, achieved over a dozen platinum and gold certifications, stacked up billions of streams, and entrenched himself at the forefront of culture. He’s the rare talent equally at home performing at the White House for Former President Barack Obama or throwing down on a popular Crossroads collaboration with Luke Combs. 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 even 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. Now returning to the stories that made him on his fourth full-length album, Leon, he introduces his next era, elevating his artistry and vision to new heights once again
