It's U.S. Thanksgiving, and so we celebrated in what seems like the most American way -- by deep-frying a turkey and surrounding ourselves with friends new and old. Leon was in heavy rotation, the perfect soundtrack to a day of gratitude.
Leon Bridges is far and away one of my favourite artists to have discovered in the past year. This gospel that closes out his Grammy-nominated debut Coming Home is gorgeous, powerful, and its harmonies get deep under your skin. The video below was shot by our friend, the incredibly talented Cinematographer Chayse Irvin. Read Bridges' words below about his inspiration and intentions for both the song and the video.
I want this video to be a message of light. River: https://t.co/sda6eJtEzo pic.twitter.com/PtbxbmSmzC
