Leon Bridges’ soul is out of control.
Coming out of relative anonymity, Leon Bridges went viral with his June 2015 hit “Coming Home” and hasn’t looked back yet. Bringing a gospel influence that oozes through soulful vocals, things are only going to get bigger and better for the rising star.
Last Friday night, Bridges made an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, singing the Soul Stirrers’ classic “Jesus Gave Me Water.” Check that out below:

Of course, fans will recognize Bridges from his recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, where Bridges was featured as the musical guest on December 6th. You can watch his spectacular performance of “Smooth Sailin'” and “River,” both songs from his new album, below:
