His new song "That Was Yesterday."

I like most of his stuff and this is no exception.

I had never heard of Leon before watching ‘Big Little Lies’ on HBO and heard River. Now he’s on my regular rotation

I cam across him on Spotify before his first album came out and then jammed his first album pretty regular once it was released. Im a big motown fan so it was awesome hearing some new school motown style r&b.

Went to a Lord Huron concert in Dallas and didnt find out till the day of that LB was opening for them. His first album hadnt even come out yet. That was a pleasant surprise.

He was really good live. He doesnt do much, pretty much stays in the same position throughout his whole set lol, but it sounds like your straight up listening to his album in your car his sound is so crystal clear.

His first album was great and I’m happy I got to see him prior to that release in front of a crowd of about 10 people. The album really set him back after it was released as he started getting sucked into the limelight and making some R&B garbage.

This is the first song that sounds like “old” Leon in a long time. I dig it.

So by r&b garbage you mean 1 album? You say "old" Leon like he's had 6 albums and has sucked for a while. I mean the dude only has two albums and is 30 years old. Its not like there is a lot of throwback stuff.

I must have totally missed his 2018 album. I knew the 2015 debut, but that had been it other than some guest appearances.

Also discovered him on big little lies
Coming home is a top 3 album this decade and plus his stuff with Luke combs is great. Great voice with thoughtful lyrics, no idea how he isn’t more popular

I like him.....used to see him at little places in dfw. But he doesn't have the voice but he has the look to pull off the noveau Motown sound he is shooting for.

The 2nd album is much different from the first and the kid was making music before the first album. There’s not a huge catalog, but you can easily tell the difference between the first & second album.

He has a few really good songs.....but also a lot of meh.

Hopefully he can put it all together on the next record.

Big fan of Leon Bridges. Went to see him play at radio city music hall last year.

Thanks for sharing this. Didn’t know he had a new song out.

Love some Leon....got to shoot his show here in KC about 3 years ago. He is hard to shoot since he dances around so much.

This song is solid. Sounds on par with Coming Home. I didn't really care for his latest album, too R&B for me
