“Bet Ain’t Worth the Hand” by Leon Bridges

Bridges is an artist who connects the gap between music of decades past and the sounds of today. His debut album, Coming Home, is a masterful blend of R&B and Soul. He pulls from the inception of R&B to its more modern advances. “Bet Ain’t Worth the Hand”, The first half of two singles, exemplifies and transcends the sonics of his past output. The lyrics are immediate and emotionally resonant. His sophomore album Good Thing is out May 4 on Columbia Records.
