Leon Bridges announces new LP ‘Leon,’ shares “Peaceful Place”

Leon Bridges has announced his first album in three years. Leon, his fourth full-length album, is due out on October 4 via Columbia Records, and it was recorded and produced by Ian Fitchuk, with co-production from Daniel Tashian. “Leon has been a long-time coming,” Bridges says. “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,” he adds. “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.”

The first single is the soulful “Peaceful Place,” which comes with a video directed by Joshua Moore. Watch it below.
