New Music: Leon Bridges – Lisa Sawyer

By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Feb 23, 2015

Soulful crooner Leon Bridges is making his first appearance on ThisIsRnB, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Filling our ears with the vintage sounding track “Lisa Sawyer,” the singer-songwriter takes us back to the era of doo-wop.

Penned as a ode to his mother, the song is a reminder of what timeless music sounds like. Signed to Columbia Records, the Forth Worth, Texas native is set to release his debut album this upcoming summer. Interested in finding out more about the soulful singer? He’ll be going on tour from February 24 to May 11, so be sure to grab a ticket here if they’re not already sold out in your city.

Take a listen to “Lisa Sawyer” below:
