Leon Bridges Creates Authentic Throwback Thursday Feel for ‘Coming Home’ Video
Fast-rising newcomer Leon Bridges has fully committed to his 1950s and ’60s throwback soul styling. The music video for “Coming Home,” the song that earned him a spot on Spotify’s Top 10 Most Viral Tracks list, is a period piece that visually takes viewers back to the musical era that inspired him.
Everything is vintage: the barbershop where he gets a fresh cut, the reel-to-reel tape recorder, the studio microphone, the diner where he eats, the T-shirt with the rolled up sleeves, and even his leading lady’s Marilyn Monroe-esque curly hairdo.
The new Columbia Records artist from Forth Worth, Texas, has been compared to Sam Cooke and Otis Redding, and has received praise from The Wall Street Journal and New York Times.
