Today, Grammy Award winning R&B artist and songwriter Leon Bridges’ cover of underground classic “Like A Ship” – titled Leon Bridges & Keite Young – “Like A Ship” is available on all streaming platforms. Leon gives “Like A Ship,” which was originally recorded in 1971 by Pastor T.L. Barrett who has been referenced and sampled in many hip hop and R&B releases over the years, a silky R&B infusion, anchored by fellow Fort Worth recording artist Keite Young’s vocals. Leon Bridges & Keite Young – “Like A Ship” appeared on TikTok as part of TikTok’s Black History Month. Listen HERE.

Leon recorded this track as part of the Truth To Power Project, a Texas-based initiative and creative endeavor. Working alongside established local non-profits that are engaged in reshaping and creating opportunities through black leadership in their community, the Truth to Power Project also raises funding to highlight independent Black-owned businesses in the greater Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex. Leon, who is from Fort Worth, has a long history of supporting the Texas music scene as well as greater DFW community, making for a perfect fit.

Dallas-based Eastwood Music Group, alongside Dallas Mavericks and FirstCom Music (Universal Music Production Group) has curated a “Soundtrack for Empowerment” featuring artists across multiple genres, which will ultimately help raise funds and awareness for the Truth To Power Project. A Triple LP of their work, including Leon Bridges & Keite Young – “Like A Ship”, will release on Record Store Day in June 2021.

Leon Bridges & Keite Young – “Like A Ship” is one of many recent independent releases from Leon Bridges including his critically acclaimed meditation “Sweeter” which he performed at the Democratic National Convention; “Inside Friend” with his longtime friend John Mayer; Texas Sun, a collaborative EP with Khruangbin and lastly his feature on Noah Cyrus’s “July”.
