Amazon Music hosted a holiday party at Ludlow House on December 7 to celebrate Leon Bridgeβs latest cover, βPurple Snowflakes.βΒ
The recent Grammy nominee reinvents the Christmas bop, originally sung by Marvin Gaye, by giving it a soulful, Texan twist with a music video to match.
Known for his R&B hits, βRiverβ and βBeyond,β Bridges came across βPurple Snowflakesβ back in Fort Worth, Texas when he was bussing tables at Rosaβs Cafe.Β
βIt was part of their Christmas playlist,β he recalled, βbefore Shazam was a thing.β He continued, βUndeniable music, your just going to gravitate towards it. It was inevitable that I would record it one day.βΒ
That day came and the cover was released back in November before it was recorded exclusively for Amazon Musicβs Original holiday songs; a platform that features holiday music from artist all over the world.Β
Stream βPurple Snowflakesβ and more on Amazon Music now and watch the video on Amazon Musicβs YouTube account anytime. Happy holidays!Β
