"Style, technique, retro grooves- nobody's making soul like Leon."
by Nicole Queen
25 year old, Leon Bridges has managed to bring the sounds of
the legendary Chess Records to 2015. The Fort-Worth, TX native is not shy about
embracing the roots of sweet soul revival in his new album Coming Home, released under Columbia Records.
Bridges, who has no problem displaying his love for the past
exhibited it effortlessly on every track. If you close your eyes and listen you
can feel yourself being taken thru the emotions of this album; happiness, sadness,
love and gratitude, to name a few.
A story is told from the first track "Coming Home" (which was top 10 most viral tracks on Spotify) to the
last record "River." "River," which
happens to be my favorite track on the album, gives the feeling of a Sunday
morning gospel song equipped with a fresh start and forgiveness. Now, it’s not
to say that everyone will appreciate the authenticity of the real R&B blues
on this album. One thing is certain; you cannot turn a deaf ear to real
instruments, real musical arrangements, real vocals and lastly real music.
Coming Home is available now on iTunes and Amazon.
