(September 21, 2016) Sony Music Entertainment Canada and Columbia Records celebrate Leonard Cohen\u2019s 82nd<\/sup> birthday with the announcement that his 14th<\/sup> studio album, YOU WANT IT DARKER<\/strong>, arrives in stores on October 21st, 2016.\u00a0 The new collection of startling songs was produced by his son Adam Cohen, and is available for pre-order now.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The first single and title track, which delves into an unflinching exploration of the religious mind, arrives at radio today. Cohen created this hypnotic groove with the addition of Montreal\u2019s Cantor Gideon Zelermyer and the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue Choir, whose voices invoke a sound from Cohen\u2019s youth.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0YOU WANT IT DARKER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Tracklisting<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a01. \u201cYou Want It Darker\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypnotic groove. The surprise of a great synagogue choir.\u00a0\u00a0An unflinching exploration of the religious mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t know I had permission to murder and to maim.\u201d<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cTreaty\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of Cohen\u2019s signature melodies. A confession of the selfishness of love and the hope of a correction.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly one of us was real\u2014and that was me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a03.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cOn the Level\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

An old man\u2019s take on desire.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI was fighting with temptation, but I didn\u2019t want to win\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cLeaving the Table\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A slow, relentless, and somehow joyous ballad of letting it all go by.\u00a0A guitar solo you will remember.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m leaving the table, I’m out of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a05.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIf I Didn\u2019t Have Your Love\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A classic Cohen love song: the deep gratitude felt by one heart opening to another.<\/p>\n

\u00a0„That’s how broken it would be,<\/p>\n

what the world would seem to me,<\/p>\n

if I didn’t have your love to make it real.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 6.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cTraveling Light\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A seeker\u00a0hits the road and finds the joys of solitude.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m traveling light<\/p>\n

It\u2019s au revoir<\/p>\n

My once so bright<\/p>\n

My fallen star\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a07.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cIt Seemed the Better Way\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The feeling of a prayer that\u2019s been there forever, but the spiritual comforts of the past no longer available.<\/p>\n

\u201cLift this glass of blood, try to say the grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSteer Your Way\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A song of courage as the heart moves into the darkness.<\/p>\n

\u201cSteer your heart past the pain that is far more real than you.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. String Reprise\/ Treaty<\/strong><\/p>\n

A brilliant reimagining of \u201cTreaty\u201d as a string quartet; a truly glorious moment ending with a few words from Leonard himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish there was a treaty we could sign.\u201d<\/p>\n
