Fort Worth<\/p>\n

Leon Bridges<\/a> is returning to \u201dThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon\u201d<\/a> next week.<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth singer will appear on the NBC series on Thursday, Sept. 10, just over two weeks before his new album \u201cHappiness Anytime\u201d<\/a> releases on Sept. 25. Nicole Kidman and Domhnall Gleeson will also be on the episode.<\/p>\n

This will be Bridges\u2019 sixth time on the \u201cTonight Show\u201d and his latest since he performed \u201cThat\u2019s What I Love\u201d on the program nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n

His first appearance came back in 2015 for his debut album \u201cComing Home,\u201d where he sang the title track. He returned to perform \u201cBeyond\u201d off \u201cGood Thing\u201d in 2018, followed by a joint performance with Noah Cyrus in 2019 for her song \u201cJuly,\u201d and then in 2021 Bridges sang \u201cSteam\u201d off \u201cGold-Diggers Sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfac In case you missed it: <\/p>\n

Bridges\u2019 \u201cHappiness Anytime\u201d is inspired by soul, disco, Afrobeat, Brazilian music and South American rhythms.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s music you can put on no matter how you\u2019re feeling and be immediately transported somewhere coastal and warm,\u201d the album description reads. \u201cIn crafting the album, Leon Bridges focused on feeling, storytelling, and his vocal performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

After his \u201cTonight Show\u201d performance, but before the album drops, Bridges will perform at Fort Worth\u2019s Bowie House hotel<\/a> on Sept. 13.<\/p>\n
