See soul singer Leon Bridges' music videos before his album drops June 23

If you live in Dallas-Fort Worth and aren't familiar with the name Leon Bridges, it's time to get with the program.

The Fort Worth-based soul maestro and rising star will release his debut album, Coming Home, on Columbia Records next week, and there's been plenty of hype surrounding it -- a packed concert at this year's South By Southwest followed by reception of the prestigious Grulke Developing Act Prize, a performance on the Late Late Show with James Corden, and spots on the bills of big-time music festivals Outside Lands in San Francisco and Austin City Limits, to name a few instances.

I mean, the Daily Beast went as far to call him "the new face of soul."
