In 2015, Leon Bridges stunned with his debut album, Coming Home. This 28 - year - old Texan singer - guitarist, influenced by Ginuwine and Usher and part of the indie scene, found a vintage soul sound from the '60s that suits modern listeners. Good Thing is his follow - up. Inspired by warm, retro styles, Bridges explores different decades, saying, 'I'm more than just Sixties R&B; this includes '80s and '90s R&B and country twang.' Tracks like 'Bet Ain't Worth the Hand' and 'Bad Bad News' have a '70s feel, 'Beyond' is a smooth acoustic song, 'Lions' stands out, 'Forgive You' is great for dancing, and 'You Don't Know' is an updated '80s dance - funk. This 180g black vinyl comes with a full - color printed inner sleeve and a download code. It's released by Columbia in 2018. Reviewed by rei kwondo 05/18.
