With the laidback groove characteristic of Khruangbin, and lilting slide guitar, “Texas Sun” is a song that pays homage to their Texan roots, bordering on folksy country rock à la Neil Young. The track, featuring Leon Bridges on vocals, released December 3rd, 2019.
Leon Bridges: “For this project, we set out to redefine the perception of Texas music, really blending our roots. I feel like this song is the perfect marriage of country, soul, and R&B. And historically, artists have incorporated elements of country music—like Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland and Joe Tex—so it was important to keep the spirit of that. This song really captures the mood of cruising Texas highways and taking it all in while the sun sets.”
Laura Lee: “No matter where you are in Texas, it’s big sky, big sun—that unifies the state. Khruangbin and Leon are both on tour all the time, so I think there was a relatable thing of just missing the feeling of home.”
