Description:

Texas-born R&B singer-songwriter Leon Bridges releases his third album "Gold Diggers Sound" with guest appearances by Robert Glasper and Terrace Martin. Gold Diggers Sound" is the third album in three years by Texas-born R&B singer-songwriter Leon Bridges. The title of the album comes from "Gold Diggers," a studio, hotel, bar, and performance venue in Los Angeles. The album was produced in this space, where Leon lived, worked, and sometimes drank in the bar for about two years, and it was a soulful and moving experience for him. The album was produced by Ricky Reed, the Grammy Award-winning producer of Rizzo's major label debut album "Coz I Love You" ('20). The two artists also co-wrote and produced "Bet Aint Worth The Hand," which won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional R&B Performance on Rion's previous album, "Good Thing," and they have teamed up again for this album. The song "Motorbike," the first track from the album, was inspired by an Afrobeat-like instrumental produced by producer Nate Marcello and the energy he felt while spending his 30th birthday in Puerto Rico with his closest friends. He commented, "I wanted to create a song that would be a reflection of my life. It is a love song about living in the moment and running away with your significant other on the back of a motorcycle.The music video for the song was directed by Anderson Park, a musician, producer, and drummer of diverse talents. Although the band was unable to tour in 2020, they did release "Inside Friend," featuring John Mayer, as well as the album's second single "Inside Friend," featuring fellow Texas native Groove. In 2021, after the release of the album in July, the band will perform at the Bonnaroo and Governors Ball in September, as well as at other music festivals scheduled to be held in the U.S. and other upcoming music festivals in the U.S., so it will be a happy and active year for fans.
