Review

Leon Bridges' debut album, "Coming Home," emerges as a lush reverie of retro-soul, weaving threads of gospel, blues, and doo-wop into a fabric of timeless sound. Released in 2015, this collection enthralls with its fidelity to the early 1960s, each track a tender whisper of nostalgia. The album bursts to life with the title track, "Coming Home," a song that paved Bridges' path to widespread acclaim, while "Lisa Sawyer," an ode to his mother, proves his voice can soar with profound emotional resonance.

Produced by Niles City Sound, the album masterfully captures the essence of an era long past, earning accolades for its heartfelt authenticity. Critics like Adam Kivel of Consequence lauded its nostalgic, emotionally piercing qualities, and Ryan Patrick of Exclaim hailed it as a "star-making vehicle." Nominated for Best R&B Album at the 2016 Grammy Awards, "Coming Home" also enjoyed commercial success, debuting at number six on the US Billboard 200 and number five on The Official Chart Update in the UK. In "Coming Home," Bridges gifts us a beautifully crafted time capsule, resonating deeply with both new listeners and devotees of classic soul. - Soraya
