Leon Bridges has released a new song, called "Inside Friend." The hip-hop inspired track features John Mayer.
According to a press release, "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."
“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," said Bridges via press release. "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," Bridges continued. "I hope people find it soothing and uplifting while we hole up indoors and get through this.”
Bridges will act as the guest on Mayer's Instagram talk show “Current Mood” on Apr. 12.
