The album is the follow up to Leon"&"rsquo;s critically acclaimed, Gold Certified debut album Coming Home.Good Thing was executive produced by Ricky Reed, and finds Leon Bridges taking his music in a more modern R"&"amp;B direction while staying true to his signature style. Following the announcement of the album, Leon also released two tracks to instantaneous praise - "&"ldquo;Bet Ain"&"rsquo;t Worth the Hand"&"rdquo; and "&"ldquo;Bad Bad News."&"rdquo;Good Thing is born from the song "&"ldquo;Bad Bad News"&"rdquo;, which contains the line "&"ldquo;They say that I was born to lose, but I made a good good thing, out of bad bad news."&"rdquo; Says Leon, "&"ldquo;I loved my experience with Coming Home. Being at the Grammys, hearing my name said out loud alongside artists like D"&"rsquo;Angelo in my category, that was a major moment for me. I remember watching Bruno, Justin and The Weeknd, and making the decision that for this next album, I was going to go for it, and step up to the plate. I"&"rsquo;m ready."&"rdquo;In addition to the critical acclaim and commercial success of Leon Bridge"&"rsquo;s debut album, his backstory became fairly well known. Leon went from working as a dishwasher and struggling through the open mic scene in his native Fort Worth, Texas to a two-time Grammy nominated artist performing at the White House for President Obama, attending the Met Gala and appearing on Saturday Night Live within a two year span.Good Thing finds Leon Bridges a more experienced artist, and this new album showcases a man"&"rsquo;s continued rise from little opportunity to embracing the world stage. If Coming Home was Leon Bridges in black and white, then Good Thing is Leon Bridges in technicolor."&"nbsp;
