Good Thing by Leon Bridges
Good Thing is an album by Leon Bridges, released in 2018. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 47 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bad Bad News”, on 20 lists and voted number one once.
Good Thing, Leon Bridges' second album, landed on Columbia on May 4, 2018, and it's the sound of the Coming Home throwback kid deciding he'd rather not live in a museum. The vintage soul is still in his bones, but here he slides toward the plush grooves of quiet storm and the smoky glide of neo soul, and his voice sounds looser and more playful for it.
"Bad Bad News" struts on a jazzy, walking groove, "Beyond" is a tender, easy strum, and "Bet Ain't Worth the Hand" is a slow-burning showcase that won the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance. The reviews were warm, the album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200, and it earned a Best R&B Album nomination at the 2019 Grammys.
