Leon Bridges announces fourth studio album, Leon

08 August 2024, 17:00 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Grammy Award-winning artist Leon Bridges has announced his fourth full-length album, Leon, and shares lead single "Peaceful Place".

The release marks Leon’s first album in three years and is heralded with the unveiling of his new single, “Peaceful Place.” Filmed in Leon’s own peaceful place, the outskirts of Mexico City, the video gives a candid look at the recording of the album.

In a personal letter to fans announcing Leon, he says: “’Leon’ has been a long-time coming. 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. 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."

Leon follows his third studio album Gold-Diggers Sound, which was released back in 2021 to unanimous acclaim and serves as Leon’s third album (out of three) to receive a GRAMMY nomination for R&B Album of the Year. Just this year has seen Leon collaborate with Gunna on “clear my rain,” release “Chrome Cowgirl” for the Twister movie soundtrack and join Kacey Musgraves on “Superbloom,” a duet for the extended edition of her Deeper Well album.
