Tunesday - Leon Bridges

In previous Tunesday posts, I covered the likes of The Alabama Shakes and Lee Fields.  Acts that have soul in both sound and delivery that seems to have been missing from modern music until recently.  Following those same lines is a newer artist named Leon Bridges.

Mr. Bridges brings an old R&B sound with such simple yet dynamic arrangement in both vocals and instrumentation.

Unfortuantely, Leon is still in the works of putting together a full length record, but there are a few videos out there on YouTube and the like.   Dude is something else and will likely be in the public eye in no time.  His recreation of a sound we've all heard before re-birthed with a new twist is refreshing and exciting.

Check out the below video, then scour the internet for his other stuff.  Then just wait until he's all over the radio as he should be.  We need more original, soulful and beautiful tunes in the forefront of popular music.  The man obviously respects true artistry.
