Leon Bridges is one of the strongest names in new soul music. Since his debut album “Coming Home,” released in 2015, the American musician has not stopped evolving, surprising everyone with each new release.

Leon is part of a tradition of great soul voices that have conquered the hearts of many worldwide.

His voice is full of charm, and he dares to sing what his heart commands him to, in a personal register where Leon’s voice is the protagonist.

‘Gold-Diggers Sound’ by Leon Bridges

Leon moves through territories such as jazz and r&b, and we hear in his latest album Gold-Diggers Sound, released in July 2021.

Since the first time I listened to the album, I felt invited to enter a place where r&r, jazz, soul, afrobeat, among other influences, seem to live together in harmonious synergy.

Even if the American musician lineage comes from a vast soul and r&b tradition, he never ceases to look to the future.

Leon’s highly collaborative spirit has already made him share the studio with Diplo, Lucky Daye, Kacey Musgraves, Noah Cyrus, John Mayer, Shawn Mendes, Anderson .Paak, Terrace Martin, The Avalanches, among many others.

Now the singer is promoting his latest record on a global tour that includes Portugal, where fans are eager to hear his new songs played live.

I know I am!

Leon has been nominated for a Grammy in the categories of Best R&B Album and Best R&B Performance and will perform on July 12 at Coliseu do Porto.

Parting Thoughts

I’m looking forward to marveling at “Sweeter” and “Motorbike” being played for a live audience at Porto’s magnificent concert room where in the past I had some of my most treasured musical experiences.
