Three years ago, Leon Bridges entered the music scene as the reincarnation of Sam Cooke. The same silky-smooth voice, the same bluesy soul, the same stylish sartorial style that wouldn’t look a bit out of place in the television series Mad Men.
Leon Bridges combines the vibes of Sam Cooke and Anderson Paak.
