Happiness Anytime

Oh, how good is this? A lovely bit of American soul meets British groove.

It's taken off, uh, an incredible, gorgeously joyous new album from Leon Bridges called Happiness Anytime.

Full to the brim of those kind of funky grooves and bossa nova melodies.

Really, really like that one.

Features from Scorchar, Ashley Walters, yes, the actor Ashley Walters, also Big Nasty with their little skit near the end, which was really fun, and yeah, some good stuff all over, so shout out to Queen Mills.

audrey pound bodies of water one of my favorite jazz musicians in the past couple of years um loved the first project um uh from the fire i really enjoyed that actually was that first project was that first album no oh yeah that was the first album did i miss her album last year oh no oh well marty hicks was a collab album okay there you go but this is her second album from her um, and yeah, just a continuation of just what she had previously, um, just these really silky, really just, uh, you know, warm, embracing, uh, uh, instrumentation, her voice, beautiful, uh, voice, beautiful vocals throughout, and, uh, yeah, it's just a really, really good project, really just, like, nice, um, smooth, jazzy project, um, so yeah, shout out to Audrey Pound, Leon Bridges with Happiness Anytime, if you know me, you know I've loved me some Leon Bridges ever since his first album, I've always enjoyed his work, and yeah, this is more of the same, well, I say that, more of the same, but I don't know, it just feels, this feels a little bit of, it feels like his most contemporary work yet, which considering, you know, he started off with like a more um i guess like a sam cook pastiche like he's you know he's come through the decades um very slowly started off very very very retro now he's come through to be a bit more uh on the contemporary side but yeah man i just i've always loved the vibe of leon bridges this is very summery uh which is ironic considering summer's you know pretty much fucked off at this point um shout out to lydia kitto um joshua lloyd watson and also uh i forgot all the boss man's name uh i think it was like mcfarlane or something i forget um but yeah basically shout out to jungle the group jungle because uh basically they've uh handle the production throughout this album and it makes sense.

It just makes sense to me to have someone like Leon Bridges over a Jungle type production.

It actually starts off very Latin-y which is kind of interesting but yeah it kind of reverts more back into traditional Jungle and their particular sound which is always warm, it's always summery.
