Good morning, Monday. It was a beautiful weekend in New York, and celebration was in the air because love won and ultimately will prevail. Thank goodness for that. 'Bout time.
So I rarely post about men's style but I have to give it up to my newest musical and style obsession, Leon Bridges. LEON BRIDGES. Oh how I love him. And since it's Monday and the beginning of the work week, I'm sure you need something to ease right on into a million conference calls and meetings. Trust me, this is very much what the doctor ordered.
My husband turned me on to his amazing music- he's a 25 year old Texan with the voice of an angel, if angels sounded like Sam Cooke or Otis Redding. I am a superfan of old soul music and this guy is taking this genre to new and exciting places, while paying great homage to the past. And let's talk about his amazing style.
Russell wears vintage in a way that is so on point. I really like his style. From that heartfelt voice to that great wardrobe, I couldn't be happier to say I just splurged on two tickets to see him at The Apollo in October. That's going to be a great night.
If you're not familiar with his music, check him out on Spotify. His album "Coming Home" was recently released and breaks my heart in the best of ways with every ooh ooh. So good. If you're a fan of soul music, it's a must. I can't wait to see what he does next- in my book, he's already a superstar at 25.
Check out his video for the excellent title track below.
Cause that's what's up this smooth as silk Monday in the 212. Yours, in great men of style and soul, and slow dancing with your honey. XO
