Why do we like this?

It's not everyday that you hear a song like this one. Within the first 10 seconds, I was ferociously googling "Leon Bridges," to no avail. Essentially all we know is that this very talented singer-songwriter is from Fort Worth, Texas. 

"Coming Home" channels a timeless and rich sound, reminiscent of a Sam Cooke or Buddy Guy, jumping to us in 2014 from a completely different decade.

These days, this rich genre of music certainly doesn't get the accolades and attention it deserves, but here's to hoping that Bridges can help turn that around.

While their style is retro, their execution is current. That doesn't mean that this song can't be just as... read more →
