CULTURE

Funkytown Soul His name and his voice are known around the world now, and the 29-year-old is just getting started. But for Texas-raised Leon Bridges, thereâ€™s still no place like home. INTERVIEWED BY JAIMIE SIEGLE

For more information wheretraveler.com

A Good, Good Thing Don’t expect another “modern Sam Cooke” comparison when it comes to Leon Bridges and his latest album, “Good Thing.” A lot of growth happens in four years. This is especially true for Bridges, whose 2015 album, “Coming Home,” quickly skyrocketed to the top of the music charts. For Bridges, this growth period has consisted of multiple Grammy nominations, an appearance at the White House, sold-out shows in Europe and a new full-length record that is, at its core, the sum of who Bridges is as an artist right now. It’s personal and authentic, with an eclectic mix of songs and influences that incorporate contemporary jazz and R&B into groovy dance beats and soulful ballads. Clearly, the artist seems to have settled into an identity that’s all his own. Days before the debut of “Good Thing,” the 28-year-old performer shared what inspired his modern sound, how he likes to unwind at home and where he goes to dance.

chapter from me ... and the album is definitely not a ’60s R&B thing, but I think I was able to make something fresh and new. Your song “Lisa Sawyer” was written about your mother. Has she heard the new album? What are her thoughts about it? After I showed her the whole thing— and these were her words, not mine—she said, “Y’all. Ain’t. Ready.” Honestly! And when I played her the songs that are out now, she was like, “Now who is that?!” The way I’m delivering the music now is a way I’ve never done before in my career [so far]. She’s proud of everything I’m doing, and it’s good to have that kind of support. I’m always inspired by her.

THIS PAGE: ©RAMBO. PREVIOUS PAGE: ©JACK MCKAIN

Over the last few years, you’ve developed a well-dressed persona, but lately it seems like you’re having more fun with your personal style. How would you describe your aesthetic today? It’s still timeless, but it’s a little more flashy now. I wasn’t willing to go there in the past; I kept it a little bit more traditional. But it’s all about putting it together—mixing a little bit of vintage with modern, and being able to find modern designers re-creating some of the old stuff. The jacket I had on [recently] at the Belmont [Hotel] is from BODE, a label out New York.

The first two releases off your latest album, “Good Thing,” have a very different tone and feel than those off the “Coming Home” record. What sparked this evolution in your sound? In the three years I toured for “Coming Home”—and I’m very proud of that project—but at the end of that … I feel like this new project is the flick of my confidence that I’ve gained. I wanted to make something that was bolder and bigger. I wanted to dive in more to the music and the process. Are there any songs on “Good Thing” that are particularly close to you? The last track, “Georgia to Texas,” seems like it’s a very

personal note on which to end the album. I’d say that “Georgia to Texas” is definitely closest to me. Every song on the album is my baby, but all of it was a collaborative process. For this one, I worked with some amazing producers. “Georgia to Texas” talks about my mother being a New Orleans native, then moving to Texas and my experience there. It’s just vignettes of my story, but it’s definitely my favorite on the album. What can fans expect from your show on the “Good Thing” tour? Each show will be pretty much the same … but people will dance. It’s got everything from dance beats to ballads. A lot of these songs on the

album are reflective of some relationships I’ve been in. Is there a message you’re trying to share or convey through the new album? For me, it’s nothing deep. When I moved on into this new sound, I was a little concerned that the fans wouldn’t be able to grow with me, and with my newfound love of adopting new modern styles of R&B and stuff, so it’s amazing to see that people and fans are connecting to it. So, there really isn’t a message … to be able to have a great experience when listening to my songs, and have a great experience when I’m performing them. All I can say is, I’m really excited for people to hear this new

Last year, you had a birthday party at It’ll Do, a no-frills dance club. What do you like about the venue? It has a raw vibe to it, and that aesthetic is pretty rare. There aren’t really bars like that. I really love the openness of it and that little section of the floor—that “Michael Jackson” floor— which gives it a lot of character. In terms of Fort Worth’s dining scene, what are the restaurants you try to visit when you’re back at home? There are so many, so I probably can’t name them all, but I love Kincaid’s, Shinjuku Station and Cannon Chinese Kitchen. Do you go back to local nightlife haunts, like The Usual? I was just at The Usual two nights ago! It’s nice to get back in some of those 13

WHERE NOW Dallas-Fort

The 2018 summer tour features opening acts Jon Batiste, Masego and Khruangbin, another Texas band. Did you have anything to do with bringing them on tour? When it comes to touring and finding the opening acts, the door is always wide open for that. It was definitely a collaboration between management, the label and me as a music fan. When I found out they were hopping on tour, it made the most sense. It’s perfect to have all those guys on the road with me. And I’ve been listening to Khruangbin; they are really good. Speaking of Texas artists, you’re pretty supportive of the local live-music community. Are there any up-and-coming artists you enjoy hearing or seeing live? I really love the local music scene. It’s pretty solid. In Dallas, I’d say there’s Medicine Man Revival, which is Keite Young and Jason Burt, who’s an amazing producer; of course, Sudie is amazing; and DJ Sober is one of the best DJs in Dallas. There’s also Blue, the Misfit. From Fort Worth, Abraham Alexander; Quaker City Night Hawks; Ronnie Heart is also amazing … but they’re not really “new.” I’ve kind of been out of the loop lately. You were recently back home in Fort Worth for a few days before heading across the pond for some tour dates. What do you like to do when you’re home?

I like to be around good, solid people when I’m back. I’m a simple person. When I get off the road, it’s nice to chill at the crib. I like to watch a lot of my favorite cartoons that I grew up on, I like to go out and dance. That’s the dope thing about Sober: He’s one of the few people that can put down a good show [at any bar], from Beauty Bar to Off the Record. Of course, the Belmont [Hotel] is always a good hangout. Which artists would you love to collaborate with in the future? Kendrick Lamar, Drake. Also, Young Thug. There are so many I’d like to work with, but those are definitely at the top of my list. I’m all around the spectrum ... it would also be fun to collaborate with James Blake or Khalid. Do you see yourself moving out of Fort Worth anytime soon? It all depends. I ran into my first dilemma with that recently. The more my music grows, the harder it’s gonna be to stay home, but I definitely want to stay here as long as I can. I’m going to need something more secluded, but right now, I’m in a nice neighborhood. If/when the time comes, would you move to somewhere like Austin, New York or Los Angeles? So maybe not Fort Worth, but I’d definitely like to stay in Texas. That’s good to hear! After all, we Texans have to stick together. Yup! We do.

BEHIND THE LENS: RAMBO ELLIOTT Bridges’ friend and photographer on their unique creative partnership (as told to Jaimie Siegle) “I touched the camera for the first time about four years ago, maybe six months before I met Leon. I must have shot at least 100,000 photos of him since then. I forget he’s famous. Our friendship was just based on the fact that we both love to dance and we’re both heavy fashion people; he’s really the only friend I have like that. When we get together [to shoot], it’s really collaborative because we know each other so well. His new album sounds more like him than anything else, or more like the version of him that I know. For the cover art, the label told us we had 15 hours to get a shoot together. There wasn’t time to rent a studio, so we went to my place and used my sh*tty LED lights and blared 90’s R&B. I was dancing, he was dancing … we pretty much just turned up at my house. For the [“Good Thing” album] cover … I got these long black silk gloves as a wedding present. His watch was so cool so we put that over it. It was our extremely dramatic, bougie styles coming together and working off of one another. “

Deep Ellum

Deep Ellum is the epicenter for live music and the arts in Dallas.

A WALK OF ART AND CULTURE IN DALLAS If Deep Ellum were a house, it’d be a fixer-upper: The kind that, you’d tell people, “has good bones”—but could be flipped, renovated and sold over the asking price with a little bit of TLC. Music fans can rediscover venues like Trees on Elm Street (214.741.1122)— A steampunk-esque sculpture

where Kurt Cobain once got into a fight

with a bouncer during a Nirvana show; the iconic music hall recently reopened

While the lyrics of the legendary American folk song “Deep Ellum Blues” depict a gritty scene of vagabonds, gamblers, musicians and characters from the underbelly of the city’s population, long gone are Deep Ellum’s days in the shadows. It was once home to outlaws like Bonnie and Clyde, as well as blues musicians Bill Neely, Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson. In the late 1930s, the area became an industrial warehouse district, housing the assembly of Ford Model T vehicles and WWII ammunition. The construction of the North Central Expressway railroad was the nail in the coffin for the community, cutting off access into downtown and rendering Deep Ellum a ghost town, a far cry from the hotbed of all the action it once was in its heyday. In the nineties, Deep Ellum still struggled to remain relevant; today it’s traded on these roots, turning what was once a place to be avoided into a cultural haven.

after a long closure. A former WWII ammunition warehouse offers a concert hall called the Bomb Factory (214.932.6501), and additional live music outposts now thrive in the area: Adair’s Saloon (214.939.9900), RBC (469.487.6149), The Door (214.742.3667), Twilite Lounge (214.741.2121)... and the list goes on. Venues like The Free Man (214.377.9893), Armoury D.E. (972.803.5151) and The Nines (469.458.3324) and happy hour to late night eats. With more than 40 restaurants, Deep Ellum is primed for a renaissance. Attractions like breweries, public art and events have spurred growth in the up-and-coming neighborhood. And with the addition of local boutique Jade & Clover (469.730.2264), Deep Ellum is poised to become a retail powerhouse. In fact, in a recent survey published by Downtown Dallas, Inc., more than half of downtown residents called Deep Ellum their favorite “play” place. 16 W H E R E D A L L A S  F O R T W O R T H I J U LY / AU G U S T 2 018

LOCAL SCENE

POOLSIDE PARADISE If you can’t beat the heat, join it. From barbecues and patio brunches to baseball games and concerts under the stars, summer in Texas means it’s time to claim a spot near a body of water. In Dallas, you’ll most likely find this (in addition to a full bar) at one of several upscale hotels; the only catch is that these ultra-chic pools are typically reserved for guests. Nevertheless, where there’s a will, there’s a way: thus, we present a list of our favorite spots for poolside bliss or a summer staycation—and where to find a few exceptions to that “hotel guests only” rule. -Jaimie Siegle 18 W H E R E D A L L A S  F O R T W O R T H I J U LY / AU G U S T 2 018

My Dallas-Fort Worth

[Contemporary Artist]

When it opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago last year, "Takashi Murakami: The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg" quickly became the museum's most popular exhibition ever. Now on view at The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the exhibition offers visitors "a glimpse into his mind and where he’s going," said the MCA's Michael Darling, curator of the exhibition. "He’s never satisfied with what he’s done and is always onto the next thing.” Expect to be transported into Murakami's Technicolor universe at The Modern, with murals, sculptures and large scale works that demonstrate the scope of the Japanese artist's playful repertoire. During his visit to Fort Worth for the opening of "The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg," editor Jaimie Siegle spoke with Murakami about what's next for the multi-faceted artist. —Jaimie Siegle

What other trends in digital technology are you currently exploring artistically? Virtual reality I have tried a few times, but there’s something wrong with the balance sensory in it for me, so I get nauseated and I really can’t work with it. With 3-D sculpting and printing, I have been experimenting for maybe the past four years. This year, for the first time, the final products of my work [created] from using that technology will start to come out. I’m also working with film; and of course, digital technology is always evolving so I’m trying to adapt. With recent collaborations with Virgil Abloh and brands like UNIQLO, what's next for you in terms of art and fashion/retail? What interests you about the medium? In collaborating very profoundly with Virgil for a little bit less than a year now, I’ve found that the way Virgil works is sort of similar to what I was doing when I was

young. In the beginning, I was making T-shirts and selling them; the “Hiropon” sculpture was originally a design for a Tshirt that I’d made. Then, a New York gallery found it, and [the design] evolved into artworks. So, in a sense, it felt like the way he was operating was similar to how I started. That made me realize that fashion isn’t all just hoity-toity, very formal; maybe it’s something that can be explored in a relaxed way like I did when I was young. Lately I’ve been thinking about, and actively participating in, building my own brand: I’m going to open a store of merchandise, accessories and more in Tokyo. Of course, I’ll still continue to do collaborations: on June 22, Virgil and I have another show at [art gallery] Gagosian, which opens during Paris Fashion Week. When is this retail concept slated to open in Tokyo? Maybe sometime in August.

Kanye West is a big fan of your work, which is also featured on Kanye and Kid Cudi's new album. Do you listen to music in the studio, and if so, what? Are you a fan of hip-hop/rap? Half the time when I’m painting, I listen to dance music, but not to one particular artist. I’ll pick five or six artists I like from a playlist, do some research on YouTube and then I'll buy the albums. The other half of the time I’m painting, I listen to the music I used to listen to when I was young—folk rock or even American pop music that I used to listen to in junior high school. I love that you listen to dance music. Do you like to dance while you paint? (Laughs) No. [Dance music] causes a very nice reaction in my brain ... that helps me in choosing color, but I don’t know why. Discover more at
