Leon Bridges went from washing dishes in a Texas hole-in-the-wall to the forefront of soul revivalism. Straight-laced and classic in every aspect of the word, Bridges favors tailored ’50s suits in restrained colors and scooped doo-wop beats to frame his truly spectacular crooning. His debut album for Columbia, Coming Home, contains one barn-burner, though: Final track “River” taps into deep, fiery spiritualism. Neo-soul can be bent in many shapes, and it will be even more telling to see where Bridges heads when he outgrows home.
