Grammy winner Leon Bridges has released a new album Leon, while announcing dates for his Australian tour. He shares songwriting credits with fellow Grammy winner John Mayer on the song When a Man Cries.
Grammy winner Leon Bridges not only uses social media to release songs, it's also the vehicle that led to a songwriting collaboration with fellow Grammy winner and Your Body is a Wonderland singer John Mayer ."And I went on Instagram Live and I was just like, 'yo, we out here in LA' and then John Mayer , he chimes in, he's like, 'Where you at? Drop the address.'
The song is When a Man Cries, which is the first song on Bridges's fourth full-length LP Leon released on Friday.Bridges says the perception of men crying and being vulnerable has evolved in a positive way as people gain a better understanding of mental health."I feel like that whole concept really isn't talked about enough," Bridges said.
"And I just love that statement of when a man cries and the tears falling just being a metaphor to kind of letting go."The album Leon features 13 tracks including That's What I Love, Laredo and Peaceful Place, as well as Panther City, about the place Bridges calls home – Fort Worth, Texas."I had a really awesome upbringing. Fort Worth is one of those small town, big city, kind of places.
"And I think a little of that inspiration kind of played into this album, and I think the location kind of has a lot to do with the inspiration.
