Leon Bridges – Inside Friend ft. Mayer

LEON BRIDGES RELEASES OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “INSIDE FRIEND” FEATURING JOHN MAYER

Today, Grammy Award winning R&B artist and songwriter Leon Bridges releases the official music video for “Inside Friend” featuring John Mayer. Watch�here. Keeping within the requirements of social distancing, as well as acknowledging the theme of the song and the time we all live in, the video was shot on iphones in each artists’ respective homes sans crews. The video features no styling or fancy art direction but is full of sweat suits, couches, cup of noodles, canine companions, grilling in the yard and grown out haircuts � in other words, a familiar tableau of our collective new normal.�
�
Regarding the video, Leon states, “Just a little something to watch inside.”�
�
The special one off track, which is not tied to an album or part of a larger project, was recorded during an impromptu jam session and studio hangout last year. Listen to the song�here.�

Says Leon, “The concept for “Inside Friend” came about from Mayer and I joking around in the studio about what an ideal date for an introvert or homebody like myself would be. I tour most of the year, so I’d rather invite a gal over to lounge comfortably in the crib as opposed to go out somewhere crowded. “Inside Friend” stayed on the back burner for a while because it didn’t fit within the context of my third project, but the current state we’re in globally compelled us to dig this back up and finish it. I hope people find it soothing and uplifting while we hole up indoors and get through this.”

“Inside Friend” is one of many recent releases from Leon, following on the heels of�here.
