When two of your favourite new artists join forces to collaborate you can’t help but be thrilled at the possibilities. Such is the case when I stumbled across Texas Sun by Leon Bridges and Khruangbin. A fitting title for the two acts that hail from Fort Worth and Houston, respectively. No doubt these rising stars crossed paths on the Texas circuit through the years and have managed to draw from what makes both of them so appealing.
Leon’s signature vocals work their usual magic expressing love, longing and connection to his muse, this time taking the form of an appreciation for the Lone Star State. Khruangbin provides a suitable backdrop with their funky and soulful sound that doesn’t usually feature such up front and steady vocal stylings. It works. It works really well, and I take comfort in knowing that these artists are unique and talented enough that they should be around for a very long time.
