Leon Bridges has officially announced his forthcoming 12-track album, Happiness Anytime, slated for a September 25 release via Columbia Records. The singer-songwriter marked the occasion by sharing a third of the record today, debuting four new tracks: “Light the Way,” “Tears of Joy,” “Illusion,” and “Your Love Is Electric.”
The project serves as the follow-up to Bridges’ 2024 self-titled album, Leon. Production duties were handled by J Lloyd-Watson and Lydia Kitto of the British collective Jungle, with legendary bassist Pino Palladino contributing in the studio.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Bridges reflected on the album’s thematic core. “For me, happiness is not a feeling that you chase,” he said. “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.”
