LEONARD COHEN - You Want It Darker (2016) I said was ready to die recently, he told the audience at a listening party in Los Angeles for his 14th studio album. And I think I was exaggerating. Ive always been into self-dramatisation. I intend to live for ever. Leonard Cohens 14th studio album is a bleak masterpiece for hard times from pops longest-serving poet. At 82 years old, what is truly extraordinary about Cohen is not that he is still making albums but that they are as rich, deep and potent as ever. If anything, his ruminations on life gain added poignancy and urgency with passing time. Something between defeat and defiance has crept into his tone, which has dropped to a half-spoken bass whisper, a grumble and sigh filtered through a weary frailty that makes his pearly couplets shine even brighter. The musical setting, by Cohens talented singer-songwriting son Adam, is perfection, an organic bed of elegantly twanging guitar lines, humming organ, melancholy piano and aching violin, following stately chord progressions framed by the warm, female vocal harmonies that have become a Cohen trademark.
