The 82-year-old Leonard Cohen continues to wow audiences
with his most prolific album yet. The new collection of startling songs was
produced by his son Adam Cohen, and following last week’s global launch event
at the Official Residence of the Consul General of Canada in Los Angeles, the
accolades for this body of work have been pouring in from around the world.
“Cohen's voice remains strong, measured and assured.
There is, as ever, flashes of playful humour in his wonderful use of language,”
The Irish Times – 5 stars
“Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker. At eighty-two, the
troubadour has another album coming. Like him, it is obsessed with mortality,
God-infused, and funny,” The New Yorker
“An unquestioned masterpiece. Cohen courts what is most
uncomfortable in the human condition and transforms that terrifying unease into
something of great beauty – and in the process, some comfort too," The
Arts Desk – 5 stars
“El aroma cálido, oscuro, seductor y reflexivo de la
trayectoria de Cohen resulta reconocible en su nuevo disco,” La Razón
“This is Cohen’s gift to music lovers: a realistically
grim, spiritually radiant and deeply poetic worldview, spiked with a romantic
thrum and an existential wink,” Rolling Stone – 4 stars
“You Want It Darker, it is such a pleasure to listen
to... this album confirms he has much more to say, much more to share, as a
sage who doesn't offer himself as such but rather as a fellow questioner
stumbling through. Yes, Leonard, if
you're asking, we do want it darker,” Sydney Morning Herald – 4.5 stars
