Leon Bridges is back soon with a new album. Leon, the follow-up to 2021’s Gold-Diggers Sound, arrives October 4 via Columbia. Below, watch the video for lead single “Peaceful Place.”

Bridges recorded Leon with producer Ian Fitchuk at Mexico’s El Desierto studio, and with co-producer Daniel Tashian in Nashville. “Leon has been a long-time coming,” Bridges wrote in a statement. “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.”

The Texas soul singer continued:

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.

In recent years, Bridges has made music with fellow Khruangbin. In 2020, they shared the Texas Sun EP, and, two years later, they dropped the Texas Moon EP.
