Leon Bridges has announced the title and release date of his debut album, Coming Home. See the full tracklist below.
The hotly-anticipated debut will be released on 23 June via Columbia Records and comes on the back of Bridges' initial three singles, one of which appears to be the title track of the album.
Favouring the aesthetic and sound of Sixites soul, the Fort Worth singer was the subject of a fierce bidding war. So far he has released three tracks, including the Otis Redding-esque 'Coming Home', a song that makes such effective use of jazz organ, backing gospel vocals and a wandering bassline that it's hard to imagine it played on anything other than an old turntable in the heat of the American South.

After playing a one-off show in London and appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as at SXSW in Texas, Bridges is now touring the USA. He will perform at London's Village Underground and Latitude festival. For further information and tickets, see below.
