Leon Bridges will release his new album, Happiness Anytime on September 25th via Columbia Records. The LP was produced by J Lloyd-Watson and Lydia Kitto of British trio Jungle. Bridges, recently has done pop up performances in Paris, Cannes, Los Angeles, Montreux Jazz Festival and last night in London at The Jazz Cafe. He’ll perform there again tonight.
Ahead of the album’s arrival, Bridges has released the first of three 4-song EP’s that will complete the 12 song LP. Out today are “Light The Way,” “Tears of Joy,” “Illusion,” and “Your Love Is Electric,” including a visualizer.

“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.”

With Happiness Anytime, Bridges set out with a desire not only to find joy but to find movement again. Early in his career he was out in front dancing, something that had waned in his recent career. He wanted to get back to making music to dance to, music to excise the stresses of modern life and to feel grounded in the rhythms of the present. As Bridges has begun introducing the new music live, he has also unveiled ‘Leon Bridges Presents Happiness Anytime’—a reimagined stage production featuring a vinyl DJ, horn section, three backing vocalists and Bridges himself back out front dancing once again. Inspired in part by the communal spirit of classic Jamaican dance hall culture, the performances mirror the album’s emphasis on movement.

Expect more live dates from Bridges throughout 2026-2027 to be announced soon.
