On this review I will be reviewing the new album by 'Leon Bridges' which was released on the 4th May 2018 two months ago. It's the second studio album by 'Leon Bridges' called "Good Thing".
Leon Bridges also known as 'Todd Michael Bridges' is an R&B, Gospel singer, songwriter and a record producer from Fort Worth, Texas. He is best known for his song "Coming Home" released back in 2015 it recieved a lot of airplay it was also a top 10 most viral track on Spotify. Leon played countless open mics until he was signed by Columbia Records in December 2014. As a Leon Bridges fan I really like his style of music it's awesome. Leon released two demo tracks on Soundcloud in late 2014. "Coming Home" was one of the tracks that was constantly being played by local radio stations including 'KXT'. It attracted loads of records labels that were interested in signing him at the time. Eventually Columbia Records signed him. Leon began his first national tour back in January 2015 where he played shows in Texas he was a supported act for 'Sharon Van Etten' in New York City. His debut studio album "Coming Home" released back in 2015. I thought it was an amazing album a strong debut album. It was nominated for Best R&B album in the Grammys back in 2016. 3 years later Leon is back with a brand new album "Good Thing". After hearing his new album what did I think of it? Well I thought it was another good album it's alright I much prefer his debut album "Coming Home". It's still a good album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Bad Bad News" I love how the production is jazzy. I am loving the jazz elements on this brilliant track. I love Leon's vocals on this track. "Shy" another brilliant track Leon's vocals definitely goes well with the production. "Beyond" an underrated track on the album I think it's a pretty good track his vocals are really good on this track. "If It Feels Good (Then It Must Be)" it kind of reminds me of a bit of Bruno Mars. It remind me a bit of one of Bruno's tracks from "24k Magic". "You Don't Know" I love this track probably my overall favourite on the album It sounds like the 70s it's so discoy and groovy and funky. "Georgia To Texas" a fantastic smooth jazz track. My least favourite track is "Bet Ain't Worth The Hand" I would say this track is not bad it's alright just not my favourite.
Overall I thought this was a good album I much preferred his debut album "Coming Home". I would listen to this album again. I am giving this album a 7/10.
