Leon Bridges has announced his fifth album, Happiness Anytime, due out September 25 via Columbia. It’s the follow-up to 2024’s Leon and J Lloyd-Watson and Jungle’s Lydia Kitto produced it. “For me, happiness is not a feeling that you chase,” Bridges says. “I want this album to be something that lingers with people and lingers in people’s bones. There’s this feeling that we have to fix the problems of the world; you feel inadequate or it can be debilitating. My role is to be light. I hope that comes across with this album.” See the cover art and tracklist below.
He’s shared the first of three 4-song EPs, featuring “Light the Way,” “Tears of Joy,” “Illusion,” and “Your Love is Electric,” that make up the album. Hear those below.
