Our Take

Leon Bridges' latest album, "Leonin British English," is a delightful mishmash of soulful melodies and smooth vocals that transport listeners to a bygone era of crooners and doo-wop groups. Bridges' distinctive voice shines through on tracks like "Tea and Crumpets" and "Bowler Hat Boogie," evoking images of rainy days in London and elegant ballroom dances.

The production on this album is top-notch, with lush orchestration and intricate arrangements that elevate Bridges' already stellar vocal performances. The funky bass lines and jazzy horns on "Big Ben Blues" add a modern twist to the retro sound, creating a unique listening experience that keeps you coming back for more.

While some may argue that Bridges' throwback sound is too derivative, there's no denying the infectious energy and charm that permeate every track on "Leonin British English." It's the kind of album that makes you want to grab a cup of tea and dance around your living room in a bowler hat, embracing the eccentricity and whimsy of British culture.

In conclusion, "Leonin British English" is a triumph for Leon Bridges, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his ability to transport listeners to another time and place. Whether you're a die-hard fan of soul music or just looking for something a little different, this album is sure to captivate and delight. Grab your umbrella and get ready to be swept away on a musical journey through the streets of London with Leon Bridges leading the way.
