Leon Bridges on his new album and collaboration with John Mayer

Описание: Leon Bridges is back with his fourth studio album, 'Leon.' It’s a moving collection of 13 songs that take a look at the place that shaped him as a person and as an artist: his home of Fort Worth, Texas. Leon joins Tom Power to reflect on his supersonic rise to fame after the release of his debut album, his evolving relationship with his faith and how that shows up in his music, and why Fort Worth is such a meaningful place to him.
