In 2015, Leon Bridges' debut album
Coming Home was a real star - turn. This 28 - year - old Texan singer - guitarist, influenced by Ginuwine and Usher and involved in the indie scene, dug into the '60s to create a timeless vintage soul sound for today's listeners.
Good Thing is his follow - up. Bridges takes inspiration from warm, retro styles, spanning different decades. As he says, '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 gem, 'Lions' stands out, 'Forgive You' is perfect for the dancefloor, and 'You Don't Know' is an updated '80s dance - funk. This 5th anniversary edition comes with a bonus track 'Naomi', custard - colored vinyl, a full - color printed inner sleeve, a digital download, and it's a limited edition. It was originally released in 2018 and is from the Columbia label in 2023. Reviewed by rei kwondo in 05/2018.
