Here’s a reflective song we can all relate to at the moment.
Leon Bridges dropped a new tune titled “Inside Friend.” The Grammy winner collaborated with John Mayer for the one-off track. The two recorded the single “during an impromptu jam session and studio hangout last year.”
In a press release, Bridges elaborates on the meaning behind “Inside Friend,” saying it “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.”
Bridges goes on to say that “Inside Friend” was a track “on the back burner” and he didn’t plan on releasing it with his third project. However, it was the world’s latest status that led him to drop the single. “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.”
The title track alone is an ultimate representation of what many might be seeking during this time of panic, uncertainty and self isolation. The indoors is all we’re getting at the moment, but perhaps this soft mellow jam can keep you company if you’re feeling alone. Take a listen below.
