Review

Leon Bridges' second studio album, "Good Thing," released in 2018, ventures boldly into new musical territories. While his soulful voice continues to shine, this album infuses elements of funk, R&B, and pop, showcasing his willingness to experiment and evolve. Critics have appreciated this modern twist on his classic sound, noting how seamlessly he blends timeless soul with contemporary production.

The 10-track album, produced by Niles City Sound and Ricky Reed, brims with sophistication and nuanced polish. From the infectious beats of "Bet Ain't Worth the Hand" and "Bad Bad News" to the heartfelt, introspective notes of "Beyond" and "Mrs.," Bridges' vocal range and emotional depth are on full display. "Good Thing" debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 and nabbed a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album, cementing it as a commercial and critical success. Despite some critics longing for the raw retro feel of "Coming Home," Bridges has proven that he can navigate new soundscapes without losing his soulful essence. - Noah
